Yeah. Some times they act normal, then it turns bad. There was a guy, maybe 2 years ago, who wanted to know Yada Akiko's address, because he wanted to send her a 50 pages love letter. Nut

Usually one or two posts gives them away pretty easily: stupidity is hard to hide.

Hee hee, Jdorama.com let me (another knucklehead) in... <nyuk nyuk nyuk> Doh! hehe

But seriously, a couple of interesting reads I'm in the midst of as well, to get back on topic, "Collapse" and "Guns, Germs, and Steel" by Jared Diamond.

Guns, Germs, & Steel is up there with Freakanomics as one of the most interesting books I've ever come across.

Sounds like you enjoyed Freakanomics, which I did. If so, I suggest you try The Undercover Economist.

This is more of a suggestion than "what I'm I reading."

I'm looking for a some good Japanese horror short stories/novels.

There has to be at least one J horror fan out there which can recommend something ^_^

      For all you women out there that think it would be great to marry a prince, think again. (and it ain't the prince's fault, he's seems like a pretty nice guy)

              I like Naruhito, simply because he stood up for her in a press conference, which made all the traditionalists scream murder. That was great.

              Currently reading "Death March on Mount Hakkôda" by Nitta Jiro, while waiting for the next Murakami to be released in a few weeks around here.

              Yes. They all forget about prince charming, around that age. Then they spend their time looking for a jerk, so they can turn him into prince charming. hehe Bleah
