Book Suggestions
I recently did a little exercise that really surprised me.
My Gchat status for the last couple of days has been asking for book recommendations - I set a personal goal for the year to read 25 books and I'm currently two books away from the goal! (You can check out what I read on goodreads http://www.goodreads.com/ )
I figured I'd post the list of recs I got, because it's an interesting list, and has me well on my way for items to read next year!
Feel free to leave other suggestions.

emma: outliers
frank mccourt's teacher man

I've heard very good things about Haruki Murakami; I've only read one of his shorts ("On Seeing the 100% Perfect Girl One Beautiful April Morning") but it was great and I should be getting into more of his stuff soon. Consider this a pending recommendation for when you get through that whole mess of books. :)
I just got Pillars from www.paperbackswap.com - I think it'll keep me busy this summer!
