The Ten magazines I read every month,,without fail, for, lo, I am lame.
People
Rolling Stone
Spin
Previews: Upcoming Comics
Wizard the COmic Magazine
Advocate
Instinct
Fortean Times
New Yorker
Maxim
Hmmm, it's quite obvious that I am an intellectual!
I am re-reading Mark Twain's The Diaries of Adam and Eve, funny stuff. Adam is a complete doofus. Eve is smarter than you think. She discovered fire and named everything. Adam just avoided her. Only about a third of the way in. Should have it finished tonight, then I can start on Letters From the Earth which are the letters Satan wrote back to heaven during his exile. Twain was a little miffed at religion and situational morality at the tme. So it comes across as relatively mean. I love it. it's cynical withjust the right touch of humor. Like The War Prayer (basically his interpretation of what we're really saying when we wish for victory), it wasn't published until after his death, at his request.
And now I go to work, walking through the snow that has been falling since yesterday. Oh, frabjous joy.
snark.

And thanks for mentioning the Mark Twain books you're reading. I've never read those, but they sound great, so I'll go check them out.
