By far one of the more pleasurable reads I've had in the past while. A work of fiction based on an all-too-possible future where taxation is abolished and consumerism drives EVERYTHING. Not particularly deep but an enjoyable read with some pretty crazy implications!

Book Review (Minor Spoiler Though)

OH wow, totally forgot about this book. Read it a while back. Definatly a good read! Glad to see some others are reading as well!!!

hm, saw that in bookstores, but never bought it. maybe i will now.

[Cdn_Brdr]

You could always borrow it from me Jake.... I know you take care of your books ;)

[sidekick]

^oh i take care of them like they're my own children. but i usually like to own all the books that i read. i'm crazy like that.

[Cdn_Brdr]

me too!

My book club is reading 'Vernon God Little' by DBC Pierre right now.... well we just picked our book yesterday. We get together to discuss it on June 4th I think it is.

You should join Jake! Book clubs are awesome! (Yes, I'm fully aware of how many geek points I just earned by saying that)

haha that so cool you are in a book club. i've always wanted to be in one. how long do you guys get to read the books? how do you pick them? who's in it?

[Cdn_Brdr]

lots of folks in it.... once you've read two books and attended two meetings (usually held at a coffee house on the drive or a pub) you are able to put in suggestions for what we read next. We like to switch in between newer books and classics.

Not every person shows up for every meeting of course but there's a good 25 of us or so in total.

[sidekick]

that sounds cool, but how long do you get to read each book?

[Cdn_Brdr]

usually a month.... longer if it's a lengthy book or if it's REALLY wordy...haha

[sidekick]

that sounds cool. maybe i will think about joining sometime this summer.

[Cdn_Brdr]

I'll keep you posted when we decide our next book!
