I got my "Schulz and Peanuts" book today. I'm really excited to read it. It's long. Hopefully I can get through the whole thing. I wish reading books would be equivalent in time to watching a t.v. show. There are so many books that I want to read. I've always been fascinated by Mr. Schulz and how he became so famous. I love cultural phenomenons. It's so cool how people get so famous because they touch something in people that make people buy their stuff. Also, with hugely famous things there is a lot of information about it (books, articles, opinions, crazyness). Here are a few cultural phenoms that I like. The Beatles, Agatha Christie, Harry Potter, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, etc... I love that there is so much information and theories about these things.I've got a bunch of books lined up to read. A couple Agatha Christie's (Which I kind of wait for because she's not going to write any more), Lisey's Story, the first Dark Tower book, a few comic novels (I don't call them graphic novels because that makes them sound like porno), a Halo book, a crappy horror book with zombies or some sort of monsters on the cover, a video game tie-in book, a few teen adventure books (think Harry Potter), and a few classics... and a huge American Literature compilation book.
The baseball games have been pretty amazing. In one game a team made seven runs in one inning. Also, three guys hit home runs... in a row, no shit. And that was just one game! I got a bag of peanuts (in the shell) and read stuff online while I watch the game. It's exciting tonight because the Red Sox could be out and the Cleveland Indians could be going to the World Series. My favorite pastime while watching the game is to watch the people in the audience and try and figure out what they're like. You can see the audience really clearly because of the HD.
