Read any good books lately?

Always!

Reading some Fyodor Dostoevsky right now, "Poor People" and then "The Friend of the Family." Just finished "Notes From Underground" (all three are in the same book). Before that I read David Hume's "Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion" and Bertrand Russell's "Why I Am Not A Christian And other essays on religion and related subjects." The next two books on my current reading list will be "The Structures of Scientific Revolution" by Thomas Kuhn and "Leviathan" by Thomas Hobbes.

I'm currently reading a book set in an english village told entirely in the form of amazon product reviews.

It's quite amusing.

That sounds like fun. I've always wanted to write a story using nothing but song lyrics. Two problems with that. My knowledge of music lyrics is nowhere near broad enough and the royalties I'd have to pay would be insane.

I recently read Mortality by Hitchens. Great book. Short read, sometimes difficult to read and reflect as it was descriptive and difficult to see how his thoughts and processes changed towards his last days. Regardless, a good book.

Currently reading Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors by Sagan. Going to be followed up with Dragons of Eden, Billions and Billions, then Demon Haunted World.

I am currently reading TCP/IP Illustrated Volume 1: The Protocols

This books is about the humble beginnings of the internet via ARPANET. This book is a great addon for Network Engineers who want to finally tune their understanding the Network Protocols.

And at some point, once you've learned how it works and you end up troubleshooting and dealing with vendors, you'll find that many of them haven't a damned clue on what they are talking about and you will want to simply toss the phone across the room. You'll then proceed to go outside, sit in your car, yell into a paper bag with incredible rage and wonder how anything will get fixed when people have no idea how anything works except only a handful of people.

I recently read Jarhead. It wasn't as excellent as the hype said it was, but it's at least an interesting poetic look at the Gulf War.

Recently finished reading the "Company" series (and a related, non-series book) by Kage Baker. Engaging stories with some intelligent use of time travel. Very much worth a read.

Currently re-reading "Partials" by Dan Wells, the first book in the "Partials" trilogy (book three is out, but it's been a while). Pretty good near future dystopian tale. I'm looking forward to seeing how it all turns out.

Ok, I'm about half way through a re-read of the "Idlewild" trilogy by Nick Sagan (yes, Carl's kid). This is my fourth or fifth reading in the last six years. Very good post-apocalyptic sci-fi.
