favorite author?
who's your fav? I'm a big fan of Tom Robbins, I find his books positively hillarious.

Anyone read 'Fast Food Nation' by Eric Schlosser? Apparently it's quite an eyeopener, and although non-fiction, my friend described it as gripping...

I read alot at work. I usually read bike mags and freaky stuff like Stephen King and Dean Koontz. The last book I read was actually Black Hawk Down by Mark Bowden (it just happened to be laying around) and it was way better than the movie.

You do a Phil Degree Blaine?

The only philosophy I've ever read was a Nietzsche Reader I picked up at a used book store for 75 cents. While I empathized with a lot of what he was saying, I didn't know if I acutally understood or not

Pretty impressive Blaine, not too many former hockey players could get through some of that reading. After the first couple concussions, most of us settle on Archie comics.
