HaHa, you mean got a job in Size? naa. More time reading and less time posting. Still check the forum one or twice a week for anything interesting.

Edward Bellemy's "Looking Backward" is a very intersting (top down) socalist utopia.

The Rum Diary is a great read, being filmed now by the "Withnail and I" director and Johnny Depp as Hunter. Looking forward to that next year.

Just started Island by Aldous Huxley to compare with Brave New World.
