Well Olaf, I listen to audiobooks on my way to work and my tatses run
from science fiction to historical nonfiction. There are a multitude
of The Teaching Company lectures that would stimulate an intelligent
mind. As far as actually reading a hard copy of a book, well, I
haven't bought any in a while and if you might mean the "news", then I
would have to say no. There is not anything "good" I can put my
finger on. : (

I finished re-reading Neal Stephenson's _REAMDE_, which fits nicely in
the genre of "thriller," which had his fans upset because he's so much
better known for hard SF and sprawling historical SF/fantasy. But it's
very well crafted, nonetheless.

So now I'm re-reading his _Anathem_, which among other things depicts a
world with an atheist monastic system.

What I SHOULD be reading is a manual on the REXX programming language.
It's sitting right here on this laptop to my left, and I promise I'll
get back to it.

I care. Neal Stephenson is a very interesting author. I've read
hundreds of books, yet I never finished a Neal Stephenson book. Not
that I don't want to. The books were always spirited away. I still have
_Zodiac_ on my shelf, maybe I should go into that one after I finish my
current read.

I was so bored and broke that I read "The Road" in one sitting a few
nights ago. Wasn't unreadable but I didn't think it was that great.
Reading how shocked people were about survival style cannibalism
reminded me of the time my sister gave me "Nickeled and Dimed", which
was shocking some of her more academic friends with earth-shattering
truths like: Trying to live on low wage jobs is not easy, is a debt
trap, and nobody, including your boss, cares. Fucking mind-
blowing!!!!!

Is that last bit some kind of inside joke because I don't get it.

Ah, that would be the book I wrote when I was living in Mexico raising
show-donkeys for the Rotarian division of the Sinaloa. We had some
extremely talented donkeys at that time; many of them winning best in
show.

[Uncle Steve]

Are you sure you weren't raising "shit"?

There should be a special word in the English language to identify
people who create problems and then turn around and offer up their own
tailor-made bogus non-solutions designed to completely avoid the root
causes of the situation under consideration. 'Traitor' might be a
good choice, but lacks the requisite specificity. One of the problems
with contemporary English is it lacks many such words that would
otherwise categorically identify certain kinds of person, place, or
thing -- making it difficult or impossible to think analytically about
such objects. These shortcomings of the English lexicon are
representative of Orwellian linguistics at work in the real world.

Again, that lacks the specificity I'm looking for. And anyways,
bartenders aren't the friendly listeners they once were. They take
your order, deliver your drink, and then slack off with the other
staff. Fairly harmless overall, and really not involved with the
problems their patrons generally bring with them.

Perhaps not after meeting you ...

[Uncle Steve]

The only people I have consistent problems with are vampires.
Your average bartender is rather benign in comparison.

Sorry, John, I should have added, "you stupid putz" to the above.

Won't happen again.
