Re: What are you reading?
I read Disclosure a billionty years ago and I remember liking it. Never saw the movie.
Still plowing through I Want My MTV--it's long and there's no plot, so it's easy to keep putting down after each chapter, but an interesting read for me. I'm the correct demographic!

Suitguy is not bitter.
feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive
The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

Told my sister I was reading it, and she said "Yuck, Harry Potter with sex." I don't see it that way, and so far I'm liking it a ton.

I try to read in my writing genre (middle grade) every third book, or so. This one was well-written, but a little quiet for my typical tastes. It's way too much like homework.

Re: What are you reading?
Currently re-reading Dizzy Miss Lizzie in its official incarnation. It's WAY cool in an actual published form. It has, like, little asterisks and shit between sections! Awesome.
Also, on my Nook-Bubba and the Dead Woman. One of those cheapies you can download for a buck. It has some typographic anomalies, to be kind, but the writing and story are quite entertaining. I was surprised.
I also downloaded The Decameron per Wintergreen's suggestion in a previous thread. Well. Hmmm. I might have to issue a sternly-worded letter to someone, somewhere. It's a bit pithy to get into language-wise. But, I'll persevere.

A woman learns the gambling business. The movie will be out later this year.
It's hard to resist the temptation to speed through it.
Today I received: Wonder by R.J. Palacio about a boy with a facial deformity attempting to enter mainstream school in the fifth grade and Tempest a debut by Julie Cross that is another of those teen/time travel romance stories.
