I started Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy today. Damn he is a good writer.

One of my favorites.

Griftopia by Matt Taibbi. I am about halfway through and the more I read the more pissed off I get. How are none of these people in jail?

Just started Team of Rivals for the third time (here's hoping I finish reading it this time).

In addition to Hyperion I started reading A Feast for Crows


A Feast for Crows by George R.R. Martin

Started and finished this in two days.


Seriously, a Doctor Who novel? It doesnt get geekier than that. And strangely enough this is my first experience with the character. I've never seen the show or anything. I only picked it up because it was in the new arrivals section at the library, and it had a lovely black/white combination on the cover.

Finished The Tuloriad.

Finished A Game of Thrones a couple nights ago and on to:

Want to finish Riven Kingdom by Karen Miller. Worse than the first book. It's just replaced the morally irredemable characters with broad strokes arhetypes. I'm trying to skim it as fast as I can just to be done with it. I might just skip to the last 100 pages and start there.

I bought this and John Adams the other day. Just finished Griftopia and started reading The Great Derangement, but I may end up putting that down for Team of Rivals. Griftopia pissed me off way too much and I think I might need a break.

John Adams is a great book. Probably the best biography I've read.

I love Matt Taibbi's writing for Rolling Stone. I'll have to check this out.

I gotta get on that. I really enjoyed 1776. McCullough has a way of presenting history without making it too dry.

Yep. And John Adams is even better than 1776 IMO. What really helps it is not just McCullough's writing, but that Adams (and his wife), Jefferson and others were great writers and there's lots of excerpts from letters they wrote each other intertwined throughout the text.

After finishing this, I need something lighter. I've got a Terry Pratchet book from the library that will probably go down next.

Been busy but I am currently reading Thus Spoke Zarathustra by Friedrich Nietzsche. Had to read Genealogy of Morals for a class and liked it so I have been reading other works by him. Next is Beyond Good and Evil.

Here's some books I enjoyed:

A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson (probably my favorite book)

The Fabric Of The Cosmos by Brian Greene

The Hidden Reality Brian Greene

The Devil In The White City by Erik Larson

I just picked up a few books from the borders that's closeing near me. American psycho, into the wild, the comunist manifesto, and the first trade of preacher. I started reading into the wild.
