Hey Javi!
I was readin around here and saw that you had recommended The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time as a good read. I read it over the summer for an English project and I loved it. I was wondering if you had a favorite book or book series?
Oh, and have you ever read any books by Christopher Moore? If you're ever looking for a light read that's a good laugh pick up one of his (I'd recommend Fluke: Or, I Know Why The Winged Whale Sings as a great starter).
Thanks!

hey scout -

my reading time is, sadly, very scarce during the tv season as most of my time is spent writing or dealing with generating story. at the same time i read "the curious incident..." i also reread "watership down" at damon's behest, and read a great book called "the queen's gambit," by walter tevis, who wrote "the man who fell to earth," as well as "the hustler." it also deals with an alienated, prodgious intellect.

my good friend ken wrote a review of it in his blog here -

since then i have pretty much exclusively read non-fiction.

i don't know christopher moore, thanks for the recommendation, i'll have to check it out.

thanks!
