Inspired by the latest post on Paul Phillips’ livejournal, I ran out to Barnes and Noble today to pick up a book on writing. Singular purchases being antithetical to my very existence, I ended up buying three other books as well.
No Plot? No Problem! by Chris Baty
- A low-stress, high-velocity guide to writing a novel in thirty days.
The Zombie Survival Guide by Max Brooks
- Lessons for surviving a zombie attack. Blades don’t need reloading. Get up the staircase, then destroy it. Use your head: cut off theirs.
The Alphabet of Manliness by Maddox
- This is the only sentence in the entire book that will give you a chance to adjust your face; take your time because it’s about to be rocked off – permanently.
The Elegant Universe by Brian Greene
- Superstrings, hidden dimensions, and the quest for the ultimate theory. Greene threatens to do for string theory what Stephen Hawking did for black holes.
Today’s shopping cart made for a pretty diverse, potentially confusing, and ultimately revealing snapshot of my reading habits and personality. While finding and buying these books, I was offered, each from a different store employee: two odd looks, two laughs, and one kudos (or ‘big ups’ if you will).
And just because it’s hilarious…

It’s team pokemon feat The w00t3r. Too bad 5p1c|3y isn’t in there too. That pic also features the ‘screen’ that we duct-taped to the garage door to play MvC2.

Huge studs. We’d all probably still dominate.
