I just finished reading Who Moved My Cheese? by Spencer Johnson. And still I'm wondering where my Swiss slice went...

My two cents:

Chasm City (Alastair Reynolds) Link to review (popup)
Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance (Robert M. Pirsig) Got the paperback, but found this: Link to full book online

I came singing in the sun, sword unsheathing.
To hope's end I rode and to heart's breaking:
Now for wrath, now for ruin and a red nightfall!"

Anyone in here ever read any of the "Hammer's Slammers" series? Hovertanks and all that rot. My apprentice has just lent a couple to me. It seems interesting.

Just started "Stupid White Men".

Sol, I can't believe you are good enough at anything to have an apprentice....

I just finished Starship Troopers. Now I'm reading Starship Troopers. Currently in the bathroom, on top of the toilet is Stranger In A Strange Land. When I get home, Fight Club is at the top of the list.

You're trapped in some sort of crazy temporal loop, man.

And what's with all the player hating? Honestly, I do my thing, and all I get is grief.
