helena helena helena,
read your webpage btw, should i conform and say "cool"?
"Microserfs" is hilairous. i picked it up at b&n for 4 bucks (hard cover)
and read it in one evening. *I* could relate, but then again, im a computer
geek and everything said in the novel was true to heart (even about moving
to silly valley).
another book i found at the bookstore this weekend on my flight out from
vegas was "lunatics" by bradley denton. very hilarious (i think i made the
people next to me nervous when i started laughing so hard). very lighthearted.
