The public library is your friend.
I just started Storm Front on the recommendation of my PC doctor. I'm enjoying it a lot. Love the quirky characters.

You have a specialist to cure your tendencies toward political correctness? Damn, that's a good HMO you've got there.

Actually, I am a geek. I do not have any tape holding my eyeglasses together and I have never cut my hair so short that I don't have to comb it when I get out of the shower.

Geeks are nerds with style.

Yeah, that's a good way to put it. I was interested at first but it loses my attention. I'm hoping it'll pick back up.

I've been reading Lionel Shriver's books since I finished We Need To Talk About Kevin, and she does the same thing, but I hang onto every word.
