Oh.... you have that problem too? I tried that policy a couple of years ago, and it worked well, but unfortunately, it all ended when my son wanted to go to the local Barnes & Noble, I came home with about 3 or 4 books....

I now have about 6 or 8 books in the queue.... :)
 
Pheonix and Ashes - Mercedes Lackey
This is a phantasy novel set in WWI England and it is so far very good, but it is Mercedes Lackey, her novels are usually pretty good. Keeping to my regular pattern, two for fun one for learning...

Next in line:
The Gospel of Mary Magdalene
 
Just finished "The World is Flat" by Thomas L. Friedman. Excellent book and highly recommended.

Well is it? :confused:

it is getting flatter.... economically and socially. The book is very interesting and for somebody like you, I seriously suggest you read it.

Friedman is no conservative and in the book he freely takes pop-shots at the Bush administration but overall, he is dead-on right about why the anti-globalization crowd and the protectionists are all wrong.

Thanks, will do!
 
I've been reading on Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors by Carl Segan and a third run through Robert Heinlein's Stranger In a Strange Land...


I an't say that I agree with the rampant mysogeny in Stranger.... or the cult-like rationalizing of traded sex partners..... but I find what he was saying about dogma fascinating. Robert Heinlein himself was a fascinating author. I think it is interesting that the same man who wrote a book that commune hippies latched onto wrote Starship Troopers rife with militarism.


Kinda like a philosophically deeper, less wordy for the sake of wordiness Tom Wolfe...
