Also started reading Isaac Asimov's Foundation books. Finished the first one during xmas

Emersonian Transcendental mostly. Sometimes hobbit sometimes Arthur c Clarke.
Really enjoyed Justine. My all time favorite is about a renegade dark elf named drizzt
Keep kicking ass with your funny book title thread though

I am almost done with Arc Light by Eric L. Harry... Pretty good techno-thriller. Horribly depressing/intense introduction and it never really lets up in its darkness. Captures the confusion and brutality of modern combat pretty well I think, and one of the best nuclear war depictions I've read or seen (and that is almost all of them).

Been trying to get on with Clash of Kings, but am just not interested for whatever reason. I just bought the final book in Margaret Atwood's Maddaddam trilogy, and The Orenda by Joseph Boyden, both of which I'm dying to dig into. So I will prob just do that.

What else did I read in my absence... I re-read Neuromancer. I read the Red Effect, another cold war gone hot book, which is a series (heard the second one is good too, and the third one is coming out soon). I re-read the first two books of We Were Crew Dogs, which is a collection of stories from B-52 crews during the cold war and Vietnam... I also re-read Warthog, which recounts stories from A-10 pilots during Desert Storm, and started in on Strike Eagle which is by the same author, but recounts stories from F-15E drivers and WSOs.
Uh so yea been on a military fiction/non-fiction kick.

Reading a bunch of shit for school, but for fun I just finished Pattern Recognition. Greatly enjoyed it. Not sure what I'm going to pick up next. Either Levels of the Game, by McPhee, or The Sleepwalkers, by Clark.
Highly recommend this to all of you procrastinators out there. Had i read this years ago, would have saved me so much grief its fucken sad. Read it. Its really short but to the point. Do it now.
