Alright- I've been spending alot of time at the library and I'm always undecided on what books to get.

I'm a fan of non fiction, no fantasy sci-fi for me.

Does any one have books they can recommend?

I would recommend anything by Bill Bryson. He writes about his life experiences, and he is hilarious. I really liked 'A Walk in the Woods' and 'A Short History of Nearly Everything'.

And for the record: the appropriate ranking of cool modes of transportation is jet pack, hover board, transporter, Batmobile, and THEN giant ant.

'Round Ireland With a Fridge

A light read, nicely written and highly entertaining.

PiHKAL: A Chemical Love Story is an interesting read, if you have any interest in chemistry and/or psychoactive drugs.

I LOVED that book. Found it on a random clearance table for less than a dollar. It's been passed around to 10 or 15 friends by now. Everyone has loved it.

Hi Ms. 'McKenzie,'

I thought this book was going to be somewhat dry & maybe just a little boring, but I found it to be a great read:

THE LIFE & DEATH OF PLANET EARTH by Ward & Brownlee.

Good hunting; there is a lot of stuff out there that is very good.
