  • I recently finished The Post American World by Fareed Zakaria. Interesting take on globalization and how America, much like the UK has to get used to the fact there's going to be other global powers around.

      • @Ed: How was GUYLAND, by the way? I thought I had asked you that, but you were reading that ages ago.

        • GUYLAND was fucking great, I loved the shit out of that book. A great work on to how the whole "Frat Culture" somehow exploded.

            First time reading it. I know how it ends, so it's not like I'm Joey and have to put the book in the freezer...Still, thought it was about time I read it.

            • If you loved 'The Thing'... and I know you did, then you'll either find this interesting or pretty fucking cool.

              • I'm giving up on Temeraire. It went from dragon bestiality to being way too erotic about what was thought to be a 12 year old but (seemingly disappointingly) is actually a female. I ordered the Girl With The Dragon Tattoo from Amazon.

                  • 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.

                            • 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.

                              • 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.
