Who has two thumbs and a Kindle? This guy.

I only have one book on there so far: "The Enchantress of Florence" by Salman Rushdie
- Bren -- feeling merry
i'm liking the two thumbs, the kindle has yet to impress me, :/
- chaz2b
I would probably not have ever purchased one myself, but I received it as a gift, and I have to say that I like reading on it. I didn't think I would
- Bren -- feeling merry
Rushdie is a genius, btw
- Bren -- feeling merry
Please to be sending all of your books to me now.
- pea
heh. I have not ceased to be the same bibliophile I've always been. this is just *another* way to read ;)

the funny-ish part is I also received a half-dozen books, between Christmas and my birthday ;)
- Bren -- feeling merry

What books did you get, Bren?
- Ayşe E.
"The Botany of Desire" by Michael Pollan, "Superfreakanomics," "What the Dog Saw" by Malcolm Gladwell, "Ad Hoc at Home," "The NYT Book of Essential Knowledge" ... I guess it was only 5 ;)

Is it any fun reading on it? I'm still a fan of paper, but I would love to try.
- Faraz Mullick
I'd like to try one myself but that would mean I'd have time to read... which I don't... ever... *le sigh*... In other news: HEY PEA!!!!! HOW ARE YOU????? *jumps up and down in hopes that Patricia notices*
- MASTER OF THE OBVIOUS
Faraz: I like it, so far. I will always love "real" books, because of the feel of paper, the smell, the way they tell a story beyond the printed words- the creased pages, the coffee stains, notes in the margins...
- Bren -- feeling merry
from iPhone
I want a Kindle, I didn't think I did, but when I think about the convenience of it, I get woozy with delight. Will hold off to see what it is exactly Apple has up their sleeve, but kudos for you with such a generous gift. Tell me more about this new Rushdie.
- Derrick
I don't know much, so far D. As usual, the story is being revealed very slowly. The writing is beautiful, though. I am excited to see where he goes with it. "Shalimar the Clown" is one of my fav novels ever, so my expectations are high.
- Bren -- feeling merry

I read Midnight's Children years ago...gonna probably start a re-read it in a couple days or so. I liked that and Haroun and the Sea of Stories; haven't read Shalimar, but will keep it on notice.
- Derrick
Sounds like a fun list, Bren. Let us know what you think about "Ad Hoc at Home." I was considering it for a friend.

"Canada geese are the epitome of our bizarre behavior toward animals—they are a perennial, and controversial, nuisance. With plenty of food and no natural predators, their fecund population has exploded: They overgraze, crowd out other species, and their voluminous shit contains parasites harmful to people and other animals who swim in the contaminated waters. The city's parks department, the same people failing to save the rabbits, killed geese throughout the 1990s, until animal-rights groups pressured the city into a no-kill policy—to protect an invasive species whose breasts you can buy for three dollars per pound at the grocery store. We should all be out there on weekends, killing the geese and giving them to soup kitchens."

Like this author, I think I would have serious difficulty killing a little rabbit unless I was starving and it was nearly my last option. Yet I munch burgers and fried chicken without the tiniest twinge of guilt. Why? How did most of us end up so far away from the sources of our meats? I still need to see an animal slaughter for the first time, just so I know. I feel bad that I'm so ignorant about it. I know I could just look one up on YouTube, but I don't want to see some PETA thing. I want it neutral.

There is that disconnect between brown eyed cow and plastic wrapped burger...
- WarLord
Yeah, I know this gets talked about over and over. My own solution is to eat as little meat as possible, but I'm not going to ban it from my diet entirely.
- Kamilah Gill
I don't feel guilty for being an omnivore. But I *do* believe it makes sense for me to reduce my meat intake from the high level it is right now. Part of that is because how tough industrialized meat production is on the environment and part of it is because I realize I'd eat a lot less meat if I had to steel myself to butcher the animals myself.

My grandmother and uncle back in Memphis had chickens and pigs that they would kill, and when they didn't, they would go to farms where you could pick out the actual animal you wanted slaughtered. I remember being a kid and seeing her wring a chicken's neck and then seeing it a few hours later on the table. That night, I ate cereal. Now, though, what Chris said.

It's not about what they are, it's about how they tasted. I've eaten snails. No problem. And Anika, it amazes me that you liked these poopy-tasting things even in the past when you proclaim how you hate different chocolates and all other kinds of things. They didn't stink so much unless you smelled the pot up close. John, they're some kind of pig intestine... thing. Which isn't so horrible in itself. Some sausages use intestines. I don't like eggs. These have an eggy texture. Eggs with a dash of poop,
- Kamilah Gill
At least sausages look less like their source material.
- John (a.k.a. dendroica)
Julian, I hadn't even seen a chitlin in person until today. True story.
- Kamilah Gill
Poopy-tasting? That sounds like they weren't cleaned. I remember my mom and aunts spending a good couple of hours cleaning them before they were cooked. And you have to keep in mind, the last time I ate them, I was like 6. I didn't know any better. I used to think McDonald's was good too then. LOL
- Admiral Anika
These had been cleaned all day by my cousin's wife. She and one of her kids love them. They're experts about the whole thing. I think they were about as clean as they were going to get. They just had this poopy undertaste that I couldn't smell but could taste when I started chewing. It was very subtle. Not that I've been in the habit of eating poop, mind you. It's like that gross taste you get in your mouth when you're around some very stinky poop. Kind of farmy. Barnyard.
- Kamilah Gill
You're a brave woman. I am such a coward when it comes to trying food.

*lmao* I. AM. DYING. glad you had your chitlin experience, Kamilah. you can cross that off your bucket list.
- jbrotherlove
It is so totally and completely checked off the list. I can tell my grandchildren. I have pictorial evidence. Wikipedia is saying that putting an onion or something in the pot might help with the poopiness. That might have worked...
- Kamilah Gill
if it makes you feel better, every time I've tried chitlins (which hasn't been too often), I've *always* noted the poopiness with my nose and tastebuds. none for me, thanks.
- jbrotherlove
I sympathize! Chitterlings are nasty. My tummy don't like tummy. I'll eat anything else pretty much. Oh and tongue. Unless it's some supper yummy lengua taco fuggedaboutit.

You are crazy brave, Kamilah. I don't think I could have done it. I have somehow avoided chitlins the whole time I've lived in the South. (Not complaining!)
- Ayşe E.
Fried might be a little less gross. Maybe. With *lots* of onion and hot sauce. I did not even know that the chitlins were there until my cousin's wife told me. So the smell was not pronounced until I got up close to the pot. Interestingly, I guess they're popular in parts of Europe, too. Remember, folks, they're not that different from what's used for sausage casings! And probably sausage fillings sometimes, too.
- Kamilah Gill
There is no such thing as good chit'lins. They will always be gross, no matter what you do to them. (Yes, I've had them.)

I have never heard of those before...whoa! no thanks!

and people are right -- you are brave. Brave to try 'em and then chew and swallow --and brave to admit it, too. :) also, you look very pretty despite your nausea.
- edythe
Braver than I am, that's for sure. Viscera are not for me.

cracklins are good. maybe try them next.
- edythe
I remember cracklins (and cracklin bread). They were good, but me and the pig have gone our separate ways.

Ya'll just don't know how to eat.
- Bryan R. Adams
Aw, thanks, edythe. I have a very big list of stuff to do at least once in my life. Most of those involve trying weird foods, or sometimes just things I haven't gotten around to yet. Still haven't had lobster, or truffles (the fungus), many different cheeses, etc. Some folks have stuff like skydiving on their list of things to do. I'll pass on most of the extreme sports and go with the extreme foods instead. I love satisfying that kind of curiosity.

I think I'm adopted. Both of my parents love (or in my dad's case "loved") the nasty little things. I'd leave the house when my mom cooked them.

Next time ask try "Chittlins." They taste a lot better! ;o)

I ate lutefisk. Once.
- barbara fister
Lutefisk is on the list.

Actually Ron, I'm of the opinion that both spellings should start with an "s" instead of a "c". ;)
- MASTER OF THE OBVIOUS
Yes, the name is a bit too close to sh*t for comfort... I've thought of that, too.

no lobster yet? you've got something really good to look forward to. :)
- edythe
My cousin ran me outta the room 2 days ago when she plopped a bowl of that next to me. I ate them as a kid. My mother cooks them in the garage, and that's where they stay until they eat them.
