Is that available in hard cover?

Yes. And I would recommend hardcover, for the durability, as you'll find yourself looking at it again and again in the wee small hours of the night. Lingering over certain passages and images and such. It is, by far, the most dog eared book I own.

Ivanhoe. Re-read it for the 3rd time. Good lit.

The movie version was not Christy Canyon's best work.

That's pretty funny Indy. It's about that simple with boys.

SiRS got me a nice hardcover edition of Emerson's Essays and Poems.

Right now I'm reading Henry Jenkins' "Convergence Culture" and Fred Turner's "From Counterculture to Cyberculture." They're both great.

If you don't have time to read the book, I suggest you pick up a copy of "Philmore Butts: Taking Care of Business." It's pretty much the same story with a bit more filling of butts action than was contained in the book. I debated whether I needed to add an "if you know what I mean." Thoughts?

H.W. Brand's biography of Andrew Jackson and "A Crack at the Edge of the World" by Simon Winchester were both surprisingly good despite the noticeable absence of hot girl-on-girl action.

I'm having a hard time getting through that book. I'll read it for five or 10 minutes and then I'm done.
