Im about two-thirds through the unabridged version of 'The Stand' , very good read.
About half way through Ringo's 'Live Free or Die' , a great read so far , Ringo's way with humor is always great. I finished up Forstchen's 'One Second After ' , and loved it . . . Brad Thor's ' The Last Patriot ' was a real page turner too. Hunter's 'I Sniper ' was pretty good , and I'm about half way through 'Hunting Season ' now , but I havent picked it up for awhile. I'm finding Cherie Priest's steampunk tales to be surprisingly well written and very interesting . 'Dreadnaught' was excellent and I'm a ways into 'Ganymede' now , with 'Boneshaker' on deck . |

Basic Economics 4th Ed: A Common Sense Guide to the Economy by Thomas Sowell Highly recommended. No person should hold public office without reading and UNDERSTANDING the concepts illuminated by Mr Sowell. . . Just re-read 'Atlas Shrugged', by A. Rand. She saw most of the current paralysis coming fifty years ago. |

I recently read "Fight Club." This is probably the only time I'll ever say it, but I think the movie was better.
I'm working on "Pirate Latitudes" by Crichton. Pretty good so far. |

I thought Card is a Morman with decidedly conservative opinions. I've just finished the Nights Dawn trilogy by Peter Hamilton. Very different from the Commonwealth/Void series; darker, nastier and (to me) more plausible. Still, it was hard to enjoy when so much bad stuff happens to otherwise good people. Not exactly uplifting. |

Ghosts of Cannae. It wasn't bad, it's about the worlds biggest knife fight which killed almost 50,000 Romans and how that event came back to haunt Hannibal and Carthage.
War of the Rats. It was ok, yet another Stalingrad story about Zaitsev vs Thorvald. |

Made the horrible, horrible mistake of reading an e-book that turned out to be a romance novel.
I started to figure it out after about 30 page-equivalents because of all the attention to detail about the female's clothing, perky tits, and perfect body, and the male's strong physique, Native American good looks, enormous bulging crotch, and job as a super fighter pilot. Skimmed through the rest of it. Are women really that retarded that they LIKE to read that crap?? |

A British art student spent 9 months and $2000 making a simple toaster completely from scratch (mined and smelted the metals, handmade the metal into components, made and cast the plastic) as a master's thesis. Funny, interesting and fast read.
