Happy Birthday, Johnny Boy!

Happy Birthday, Johnny Boy!

Today, Google celebrates the birthday of John Steinbeck in their Google If you haven't yet, go hop on Google now to check it out! Andplusalso, I think you're weird if you haven't been on Google yet today. I don't think I make it to 9am without ending up on Google for something.

A Clash of Kings: A Song of Ice and Fire (Book Two) by George R.R. Martin

A Clash of Kings: A Song of Ice and Fire (Book Two) by George R.R. Martin

My latest purchase from Audible.com was the 2nd book in the Game of Thrones series. Which brings me to something that blew my mind (it takes very little).

Still making my way through Beyond Good and Evil, but in the meantime, John Green just posted his latest vlogbrothersvideo and I thought I would share it with you. 18 Great Books You Probably Haven't Read So many of these sound incredible and I plan on adding quite a few to my fun to-be-read list! (list of books and links in the doo-be-doo of the video) And John... we'll see you on Tuesday. Update: Because I have lazy friends... list of books after the break: 1. This

Need a good cry?

So, it may be a whiskey ad, but holy shit did this make my eyeballs leak!
