Day 104 :: Travel Reading

One of the more pleasurable things about not working for months on end is being able to read. While buying books overseas is actually more expensive than using half.com or amazon, most of the books are worth every dollar. Here is what we've read so far (more for our reference than anything else!):

I also read Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs and the first few chapters were great but then I lost interest. You have to check out "Killing Yourself to Live", though by Klosterman... Dave Drury suggested it and its one of my favorites now. Safe Travels!

I loved 'Killing' as well. You might be interested in the religion chapter in Sex, Drugs and Cocoa Puffs (the last chapter). Anyway, peace brother!!
