The Great Hullabaloo: BOOKS.

[Captain Russ]

Fables is the shit.

Ashamedly, never read Kavalier & Clay. Picked it up yesterday on a whim. I AM NOT DISAPPOINT

[BillyG]

Need that as well.

[Abraham Smashington]

Yeah. I picked that up for Lesley. I was digging it too.

[zanie]

Finally started reading Fables. OH MY GOD. WHY DIDNT I START EARLIER?! its amazing!

[Ed Hocken]

Hey man, I give a shit cause I'm REALLY REALLY BORED!

NERD ALERT

Currently reading The Snowball which is THE biography on Warren Buffett. Obviously this book is very detailed and extensively researched (Did you know that Buffett was a shitty student in high school? And he used to shoplift lift like crazy as a kid?)

But one thing bugs me and I have no idea how this couldn't have been caught during the editing. Right in the beginning the author says Herbert Hoover was Calvin Coolidge's VP; He was Secretary of Commerce. Gets my history nerdity all a flutter when I see such an error.

Finished the entire Millennium Trilogy the other week, and it's really good. Dragon Tattoo was the best, but Hornet's Nest and Played with Fire are really good, REALLY over the top madness.

Half way through reading C-Hitch's God Is Not Great while waiting for my new bristol boards to arrive in the mail.

I had the same epiphany as he did in his youth, though it involved me cursing the heavens that Mega Man 3 was too fucking hard for a just creator to allow into being.

His ridiculously verbose screed is entertaining and highly informed (and as smug as I imagined it would be).

I hope the drunk beats his cancer.

I got the new Bob Howard book: The Fuller Memorendum, by Charles Stross.

For those who don't know. the Bob Howards book are a mix of Office Space, James Bond and HP LOVECRAFT.

yeah, it's as great as it sounds. Light and awesome.

[Captain Russ]

Plunging headfirst into Stark territory.

On the strength of The Hunter, I picked up Man with the Getaway Face, and The Outfit.

Parker (as has been said since his inception) is a fucking ruthless bastard.

A fucking ruthless bastard who also happens to be awesome.

Film is great BTW, just a real good mystery.

[BillyG]

Yea, book 3 hit my porch yesterday. Luckily the film is still playing here in Houston. Hoping to go see it Saturday.

Finished Girl With The Dragon Tattoo last night. Really enjoyed it. The resolution to the mystery was pretty satisfying. I was worried the book would shit the bed at the end, but luckily it had a pretty plausible answer. Starting on The Girl Who Played With Fire tonight.

The wife just started book 3. Loves it.

I got The Politican aka the expose on John Edwards in transit. So I expect some real scumbag details and interesting stories
