I don't think the intent was to criticize what others were reading

But I could be wrong

Love his "Diggin' In & Piggin' Out -- The Truth About Food and Men." A very funny food memoir. It's where I learned how to make Gin & Tonic Ribs (the libation is not for the ribs). LEAVE ROGER WELSCH ALONE!!!111!!

No thanks, I'll wait for the movie to come out. Maybe Spielberg should direct it.

Nobody thinks anyone else should read crap either, but that doesn't stop you from reading crap.

I'm not really upset about people reading crap. But I reserve the right to argue it's crap.

I don't have my own opinions unless someone reads things for me and then tells me what they got out of it. I'd read things myself, but I'm all tied up.

My lady read this book, and just for laffs, I picked it up and turned to a random page to read what was on there. I said, "This is pure porn!" She said, "Yeah, it is."

We didn't discuss it after that. Eventually DU will come around to that place, but I don't think it will happen until the movie gets past its first weekend. After that, we will go back to finding other things to disagree with each other on.
