Going to Rehab.

That's right folks, after doing some cleaning I've decided to go into rehab, book rehab. I consolidated all the piles and baskets of books from around my room and filled an entire empty bookshelf with books I bought and have yet to read. Along with two shelves on my other book case already filled with books I need to read that adds up to about one hundred books that are just taking up space.  In order to remedy this and add a bit of discipline to my life I have decided to put myself in a self prescribed, hyperspeed, book rehab program.  My goal is to read at least one hundred pages from two different books everyday. This should allow me to finish around two and a half books a week, allowing me to read all the books I haven't in a little under a year.

That means once a week or so I should be writing an update here with reviews and thoughts about the books I have finished. The books that I bought this weekend and started today are Richard Dawkins' Greatest Show on Earth and the Warhammer 40k pulpy collection of stories Heroes of the Space Marines. I met my goal for the first book and need to read one more story out of the other to meet that goal.

Hi my name is Nate and I have an Amazon.com and Barnes and Nobel problem.

On a side note about reviews, I saw Invention of Lying this weekend and it was pretty good. I didn't realize it was supposed to be an atheist jab at religion till I saw this review over at Big Hollywood. If anything I thought it did the opposite, even though the religion part of the movie just came off like any of the other jokes. In the end I thought it was a funny movie that made a statement about right and wrong and the influence of lying on our social fabric. I don't think it's great enough to write a longer stand alone review of, but I did think it was funny enough to recommend to other people. Leon went to see it with Kresso and Bobby after I recommended it, and they all hated it. So I wouldn't expect a glowing review of it on whowritesthisstuff.net.
