Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

I am currently almost done with "The Road" I have "No Country" waiting for me when I'm finished. I am also currently reading "Return of the Dark Knight" I can't wait till finals are over so I can actually get sme heavy reading done.

Hot Springs by Stephen Hunter with some Elmore Leonard lined up next. Of course my all time fave is Shibumi by Trevanian.

It's really bizarre and creepy. The visual element of the book, with the use of typefaces, page space, and other elements is amazing. It's a good compliment to the narrative.
