you start running barefoot and your feet will look like this

It'll be nature's way of giving you a "shoe".

It's natures way of getting people to stay the fuck away from you when you take your shoes and socks off! Talk about a social trade off...running barefoot.

Ehm, feet start to smell as soon as you put socks and shoes around them. Or was that your point?

Probably asked this before, but how do you pick out books and stuff?

Just finished my current book, and not quite sure where to go now so looking for a way to pick out next few books.

I usually read things recommended by friends.

I poop in this bathroom on campus and it always has pleasant things written on it. They clean it up every few weeks, but my University has a bunch of comedians. The current thing is a bunch of dick drawings. But there is also written stuff....and some of it is funny.

I went into a bar with my friends, I had to go to the bathroom, so I went in there, I sat down....somebody had written on the stall:
"Metallica rules"
Under that it said:
"Metallica sucks"
Under that it said:
"You suck"
Under that it said:
"Fuck you."
I just though...man, a lot of people shit with pens. Why don't I have one? Cause Toy Story 2 was okay!

In the last few years, I've been trying to read whatever "modern classic" I hear about (if it interests me, of course). The Hitchhiker's Guide, Catch-22, Brave New World and stuff.

Or books I hear about here. The Gun Seller was great, for example :)

Also, I've been doing some reading on my iPod Touch, I read quite a few free ebooks, especially Lovecraft.

And I also read some sci-fi. I usually do some research on the internet before, then decide on a book. Or in the case of my current book, Do Android's Dream of Electric Sheep, it's because I love Blade Runner so much, I wanted to read the book :)

That was my 3rd watch, and anyways, I watched it once more after that time.

2 weeks ago for the first time in 3 years, I read a book.
Halo: The Fall of Reach.
Since I dont read books very often I dont know what the standards are for a "good" book but I liked it.
Then I picked up the next one titled "The Flood" and finished it last night, figure ill grab the next some time as well.
If anyone likes action Sci-fi then I'd suggest reading those books.
And if you like the Halo story these would add to it.

I'd love to see a book written with the Bioshock universe as the base. It could explore the founding and building of Rapture and sow the seeds of it's destruction.

The first part of the story has already been written. It's Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand.

The end of the story is Bioshock.

But it needs a second act.

Talking about fantasy books, guess who still hasn't finished the book he had almost ready 2 years ago?!? Yes, GRRM.

Figured since such a huge fan would try out the Bond novels, and started with Casino Royale, and it makes you look at Bond in a different light.


Sure it is only the first book, but he isn't quite the character he is in most of the movies.
