One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
by Ken Kesey


Not bad. It took me a while to get into the rhythm of old world ebonics though.

The last book I read was called Those Who Trespass by the king of Journalism Bill O'Reilly. Its a thriller/mystery book and combines fiction with real life Journalism backstabbing. Sometimes I think that the main character, Shannon Michaels, is Bill O'Reilly. WHy? well, remember the O'Reilly Sexual scandal? something like that happend to Shannon Michaels the main character. Actually, the first part of the book were the main character is in argentina, Oreilly writes a real life confrontation with another war correspondent who took O'reilly's work and made it his.....The name of that guy is Bob Shieffer and from there you think that this book is more real than fiction. Good book, You guys should read it.

Im currently trying to read The Da Vinci Code. Time doesn't allow me to do read it but its good.

Ah, Kerouac!(my favorite bohemian beatnik) Actually City Lights bookstore on Colombus Ave and Broadway in San Francisco which was opened up by some of the "Beat Generation" writers), has an awesome collection of independent books and all the litrerary works of Jack Kerouac, William Burroughs and Alan Ginsburg and all of the writers of the beat generation movement in San Francisco. Its an awsome three story bookstore which is just crowed with tons of books, i dont know if youve been there but its really really cool bookstore to visit while in the city.

You seems to have left out the letter 'l' in the URL for the file extension.
