How I did it
How to graduate from law school
It took me
3 years
It made me
The Bar remains!

How I did it: I took the LSAT, applied to several schools, and enrolled at the best/cheapest one I got into.  After I enrolled, I did just about all my homework and showed up at class.  After three years of that, the powers that be got tired of me and kicked me out with a juris doctor. Read how I did it…

How to read all books by Douglas Adams
It took me
9 months
It made me

How I did it: I started at page one of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, then I read through the other four books of that series.  I acquired the two Dirk Gently books and read those from page 1 to page 300. Read how I did it…

State of Fear 3/5 4 days ago

Just finished State of Fear. This means I have just one book left in his regular canon: Next. Not sure if it’s next on my reading shelf or not. State of Fear was interesting and had some good points. I think people were confused by it, thinking that Crichton was attacking the theory of global warming. I’m rather ambivalent about global warming, so maybe that influenced my interpretation of the story. Either way, I think he was attacking politicized science rather than any particular theory. It’s worth reading if for no other reason than to make you think about what you think about science.

State of Fear keeps me at 112 4 days ago

Finished Michael Crichton’s State of Fear, but I also got Alan Moore’s Watchmen

So I’m staying put at 112. Some day I’ll get back under 100. And maybe one day I’ll finish them all.
