Return of the quotes:
Jacob Foshee: well maybe you should post a comment
Bret Warren Hodge: i can do it anonymously
Jacob Foshee: oh ok
Jacob Foshee: well you can just sign your name at the bottom
Jacob Foshee: if you dont want to be anonymous
Bret Warren Hodge: wow, you are smart...i bet you have a master's or something
Jacob Foshee: wow you are smart for realizing that
Jacob Foshee: i bet you do too

Snowcrash is an amazing book. I highly recommend reading it first. By that point you will only want to read Neal Stephenson books for the rest of summer, so: follow with Diamond Age, the I recommmend Cryptonomicon. It's different from the first two, but equally as enjoyable. Also, The DaVinci Code is often taken as historical fact, when in fact it is not. It is a fiction, people. I also recommend that you pick up anything written by Bill Watterson (by this I mean every Calvin and Hobbes comic ever written). This should get you through the summer. Also come down to A&M to visit. Mirko's girlfriend is in town, so we should all go have drinks. Congrats on the whole thesis thing, by the way.
With Love,
Kyle
Just to let everyone know, Jacob really has no idea what any of these books mean. If you dont belive me ask him yourself. See this whole profile thing is really to try and land a chick. Even though the jerk is cheating on me and has no respect for his significant other dont be lead to belive or loured into his goody-to-shue side.
