  1. Here's a list of books that I've read this summer so far that i've found to be really interesting:

    1)"Sophie's World" (I just started reading it today and really couldn't put it down) - it's an easy read and fairly entertaining about the history of philosophy.

    2)"The Eternal Lightness of Being" - Milan Kundera: another entertaining story, an existentialist one at that. Brilliantly written.

    3) Though it's not fiction, I read Rachel Carson's "Silent Spring" (it came out in 1962). This book started a huge environmentalist movement in the United States. It's pretty revolutionary

    4)"The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nightime" - a really light, easy read as well...through the eyes of a boy who falls somewhere on the lines of Autism Spectrum Disorder. This is another one I just couldn't put down.

    5) "On A Cold Road" - Dave Bidini. He's the guitar player for the Rheostatics...it's about the bands' first Canadian tour opening for the hip, and essentially a history of Canadian Rock in general. Lots of commentary by Rick Emmet and Goddo. It was appropriate as I started reading it when we were on the road with Little Feat.

    If you want more info on any of these I'd be happy to chat about it - happy reading.

  2. I'm selling a pair of LP Aspire Congas (a quinto and a conga to be exact)...they look something like this:

    They've been on the road with me and still sound great. Email me at booch@vanderpark.com if you're interested...

    Peace
