anyone else have their parents read to them?
same here. i remember being read all the seuss books many times, also good night moon and of course the old standard "where the wild things are" read to your kids folks.

i dont know if anyone here has read contortionists handbook by craig clevenger, basically it is about this guy whose whole life is a lie and just him telling about it. anyhow i really enjoyed it and i just found out he wrote another book, here is the short description i read of it

"the diary of an amnesiac LSD chemist who becomes addicted to a drug which synthesizes the feeling of human touch."

i ordered it the other day, i am looking forward to it
