"The shark ethic prevails: eat the wounded. In a closed society where everybody's guilty, the only crime is getting caught. In a world of thieves the only final sin is stupidity." -Hunter S. Thompson
"And if we turn the lights down low and watch the sky cry through the window, will I watch your fingers grow and stretch like butterflies? The shadows flexing, licking toes, and blinding as slowly the sun sets on the same old hill. The same red glow, we're quite alone. Just you and me and rainbows..."
otherwise, no one in particular. just another internet this'n'that to help kill time and eyeball friends.

when I take the time away from other distractions (*cough*WoW*cough*), I am currently reading:
The End of Faith by Sam Harris and the Daniel P. Jackson rendition of The Epic of Gilgamesh, while also re-reading Tolkein's The Hobbit and Lovecraft's The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath. Also, because I tackle many titles at once, I am reading Northern Lights (aka The Golden Compass) by Phillip Pullman.
I do not feel like running through a list of favorite books, so I'll just list favourite authors:
H.P. Lovecraft,
Clive Barker,
Anton LaVey,
Michael Ende,
William Kotzwinkle,
Katherine Dunn,
Richard & Wendy Pini
Roald Dahl,
J.K. Rowling,
many others...
