Oh Amazon.com
I'm addicted to Amazon.com, and books. God I love books! I fucking love to read. I wish I had more free time. Fucking A. So I jumped on my ol' friend Amazon to order a book called "Something Borrowed", recommended by a friend Amy (we share a love of quick read, chick novels, with a lack to raunchy Fabio like characters.) I also looked at my "recommendations" aka: Amazon tracks what you order and gives you other items you will squeal with delight over, and eventually purchase. So, today in my oh so fabulous recommendations I find this book called "Generation Kill" It was written by a young 20 something Marine that completed a tour in Special Forces in Iraq in 2003. Intriguing. I bought it. Am I nuts? (For the love of God, yes, I know I am, don't answer that!) I'm going to be a hysterical mess reading about this poor kids friends dying, running out of ammo, being hungry, thirsty, sad, tired... Fuck I'm going to cry like he is my brother. Stupid purchase. That I can't wait to get my hands on. Oy. Am I allowed to send him a card when I'm done reading it? P.S. Nick is soooo reading this when I'm done. I don't care if I have to fucking quiz him on it, he will read it, if for no other reason to keep me happy. (He is going to bitch about it being about a Marine instead of an Airman. Fucking Wah!) End Rant.

Check out half.com which is the sister site to eBay. I love getting books there and you can get them cheap. I just ordered Stolen Innocence, which is about a young girl and her life with the FDLS and that Jeff Warren guy..the morman who supported polygamy and married off under age girls to grown men. It will make me bawl.
I have a bunch of books that I've picked up about the NYFD and 9/11, about our soldiers etc...I know they are going to be sad, but i want to read them regardless.
Let us know how the book is, I may want to order it after you read it.
