I'm reading Deja Dead by Kathy Reichs.

She works for the TV Show Bones.

On the hard copy side of things I finished The Wrecker and started Saint Leibowitz and the Wild Horse Woman, the sequel to one of my all time favorite books (A Canticle for Leibowitz).


Saint Leibowitz and the Wild Horse Woman by Walter M. Miller Jr.

Looking for a good non-fiction book. I'm interested in tons of subjects so surprise me. No memoirs and no biographies, please.

Hells Angels by Hunter S Thompson!

Its Hunter S Thompsons story of his time as a journalist living with the Hells Angels back in the 60s when they were getting big/dangerous. As you can expect, there's lots of drinking, debauchery, and gun shooting. It also gives background as to how the gang came to be.

That is a great one! Just read it a few weeks ago. It might be my favorite Thompson because it is not quite an manic as the later gonzo stuff.

Homicide: a year on the killing streets is my favorite nonfiction book of all time.
The author David Simon is the guy who created the wire. It is a great no nonsense look at how a police department works

Haven't found anything by Alistair Reynolds yet that I didn't like.
Chasm City was possibly my favorite so far. This is pretty good too....

currently addicted to Oh, the Places You'll Go!

On the Kindle side of things, I've finished up Containment and started A Tale of Two Cities


A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens

On the hard copy side of things I've finished Saint Leibowitz and the Wild Horse Woman and started Wastelands: Stories of the Apocalypse


Wastelands: Stories of the Apocalypse by John Joseph Adams

The Neighbor-Slavoj zizek
After finitud - Quentin Meillasoux

Im still trying to get through dance with dragons...

On the hard copy side of things I finished Wastelands and started I Am America


I Am America by Stephen Colbert

Pushing Ice was really good. A little rushed at the end. But I'm also glad it wasn't stretched out and padded just to make a trilology out of it.



Pretty generic fantasy so far. Picked it up at the used bookstore because
1. I had never heard of it before. 2. It was the first book in the series.

Finished I Am America and started The Forever Hero


The Forever Hero by L.E. Modesitt Jr.

I'm trying to get through Dance of Dragons on my Kindle...there's SO MUCH of it!

On the hard copy side of things, I'm reading Paul Auster's I Thought My Father Was God: And Other True Stories. It's a collection of short stories from people across america (stories no more than 4 pages at MOST) that are about anything from love to in animate objects to where they live. If you like This American Life and The Moth podcasts, you'll like this book.

yeah, i'm really struggling with that one. 4 was just so bland that perhaps i stopped caring.

Finished A Tale of Two Cities and started The Angel's Game


The Angel's Game by Carlos Ruiz Zafón

I couldn't finish Mists of Avalon. It became far too predictable and cliche, and I really don't have the patience to bog through that much bullshit.

So, I am moving onto A Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula K. Le Guin. And so far, it is enjoyable. The style is a little odd, but it works for the most part.
