OH yea...books!

So, one book down 29 to go. Not that great of a pace but I'm still confident.
I just recently re-read the Hobbit. Not sure if re-read is the right term because I'm not sure i ever actually read the whole thing. I think i read part of it, enough to make me seem like i was reading it and understanding it, way back around the age of 12. I didn't remember anything past Bilbo getting the ring, so it was great.
Anyway, i was quite pleased with it and had my usual feeling of sadness that I get when i finish a great book. The "i wish the story didn't end, now what?" thing.
I have also been reading Sex, Drugs and Cocoa Puffs by Chuck Klosterman on and off. Almost finished with that so we're basically on 2 books down. That book is fucking hilarious, i highly recommend it to anyone who has a love of sarcastic gen x pop culture. Its one of those books that i wish i wrote. It kind of makes me sad when i read stuff like that because i feel like whatever and whenever i write now I'll just be ripping it off. But i think its something you can't avoid. And i should stop fooling myself and actually write something before i start critiquing my writing ability.
Currently reading Dry by Augusten Burroughs. Very good piece of memoir. Like a non braggartly A Million Little Pieces. (which i didn't believe before all the poo-poo blew up, just ask Sara Cina, we would argue about it) I'll Write more after i finish it.
WORD UP!

Who reads this anyway?

Maybe I'm confused by this whole process, but who even reads this? I have it linked off my myspace in a purely vain fashion. Of course random people will come across me and think "well this certainly is an interesting fellow, i am really interested in what kind of bad ideas he feels the need to write about." Huh...its all about keeping up appearances, i fancy myself such a smarty pants. ( As evident in using terms such as "i fancy myself"(and "as evident"(and whimsically writing about myself in this manner))) Man I'm clever...admit it, you love me. But back to the point at hand. Who are you? May i ask you to let me know. Who reads this? Who cares? Should i commit to writing more often, i know i should.
Once again, i know, i know that this is all a vain ego stroke type thing to give myself a sense of accomplishment or meaning, but just humour me here, its not much to ask.
By the way, i don't think that that was a proper way of starting a paragraph. I should be better at this, i should use my noodle. IS there a Grammar editor program? Anyone, anyone?
