Looks like a fun read! I'm about to dig into this one:

I just finished reading The Fifty Year Sword by Mark Danielewski, sent to me courtesy of the one and only Istenszek!

Right now I'm reading The Next Attack by Simon and Benjamin. Now that's some scary stuff.

Plus I'm waiting for LleeLlee to get off her ass so we can read Memoirs of a Midget by Walter De La Mare.

Let's go, git.

from amazon.com:

'Not a book that'll appeal to readers whose politics are right of center, it's nevertheless a sobering analysis of compromised American security.'

how are you coping with this? Haven't read it yet, but I am very interested.

I'm reading the Constant Gardener by John Le Carre. Good story.

I just finished "a million little pieces". Good story too, but it's a shame that most of it was lies. A real turnoff.

if you liked that you'll love this

CHRIST THE LORD by Anne Rice

"Having completed the two cycles of legend to which she has devoted her career so far, Anne Rice gives us now her most ambitious and courageous book, a novel about the life of of Christ the Lord based on the gospels and on the most respected New Testament scholarship.

The book's power derives from the passion its author brings to the writing, and the way in which she summons up the voice, the presence, the words of Jesus who tells the story."

It's a very interesting read.

Their previous book The Age of Sacred Terror is better than this for the historical background of Islamicist terror. This one is more of a battle assessment.

I hate to see these kinds of books written be experts, that are actually naming the enemy (Scheuer's book is another one) get labeled as either left or right. Sure there's a lot here that calls into question the actual successes of the Bush administration policy...but these policies are either effective or they're not.
