I only have time to read before bed, and...
I am reading two most excellent books! May I recommend...
I Am America (And So Can You) by Stephen Colbert. No one can deadpan satire like Colbert. No one. It's so very campy in its right-wing earnestness -- much like his show, but with no pesky censorship. A wild ride on the pseudo-conservative side...
Nature Girl by Carl Hiaasen
My first book by Hiaasen. He's like Chris Moore, but with the over-zealous, adventuresome backbone of Tim Sandlin. Simply blend the quirk of the two, shake, strain, add an olive, and enjoy... exquisitely funny and bizarre!

Journey Infinite -- Intellectual musings (and some - not so much), satire, insights, analysis, current events, and a sweet hangman game. I'm also @ myspace.com/journeyinfinite and under my name on Facebook :-D
About me...
- journeyinfinite
- Lots of neat quirks, highly imaginative, a total daydreamer, happy, healthy, with a side order of the goofy streak. Finds interesting, new ideas and things to work on/play with/learn about all the time...and I kinda want to travel the world to see it all! The universe knows what it's doing!
Links of the super ultra glorious nature
Step out of your head sometime...
It is not so remarkable that our greatest joy should come when we are motivated by concern for others. We find that not only do altruistic actions bring about happiness but they also lessen our experience of suffering...the sufferings which undermine our internal peace -- anxiety, doubt, disappointment.
Since our every action has a universal dimension, a potential impact on others' happiness, ethics are necessary as a means to ensure that we do not harm others. Genuine happiness consists in those spiritual qualities of love, compassion, patience, tolerance and forgiveness and so on. For it is these which provide both for our happiness and others' happiness. --Ethics for a New Millennium, by the 14th Dalai

Carl Hiaasen was one of Raymond's favorites. You might try a Dorsey book once you have finished up with Hiaasen.
Have a great holiday.
