Sammy Hager's book

Cordwainer Smith is one of the coolest sci-fi writers ever.

"The Atlantis Prophecy" by Thomas Greanis - an enjoyably silly "Da Vinci Code" wanna-be about an archaeologist who has to find an ancient artifact hidden beneath Washington DC before its power can destroy the United States and possibly the world. Gasp!

Sounds like a Nic Cage movie.

Now that you mention it, yeah, there are similarities to the "National Treasure" flicks too.

And he has one of the coolest names ever. Seriously, "Cordwainer?" That's bad-ass. You don't mess with somebody if they've got a name like that.

Book Two in "A Song of Ice and Fire"...."A Clash Of Kings" The first book, "Game Of Thrones" was pretty good

Just finished reading this one to my 8 year old:


Basically it's a cat version of "Marley & Me," with a similarly tear jerking ending. We both sniffled a little. Well, more like a lot. Haha. Cat people check it out.

I am about to begin Time and Again by Jack Finney

Finney is best remembered for writing Invasion of the Body Snatchers

Have you ever read anything by Alfred bester?

Nope, but I bet my roommate has it here in the house somewhere. You've never seen so many sci-fi and detective paperbacks in your life.

It's like living in Half Price Books.

If you overlook the author's occasional self important rants, it's really an interesting read.

Alas Babylon

Adventures from the technology underground

Just blazed through Stephen Kings Cell and it was pretty much a page turner throughout, but the ending...WTF?
SPOILER: Why do these writers creat these charecters and a compelling story just to fart up the ending? No closure whatsoever. JUst MASSIVELY open ended. King could have easily dropped another couple hundred pages on this and made it an EPIC story ala The Stand.


Currently reading Joe Hill's Horns. Starting good. Main charector Ignatio awakens from a bender to discover he has "horns" and then the fun begins. Hopefully Joe won't muff this on ala King and Koontz in the end...

Just finished A Clockwork Orange; really good book.

Now I'm reading a book called Be Here Now by some sage-like gentleman. Anyway, my friend recommended it to me, and it's pretty deep. Any of you ever read it? If so, impressions are appreciated!

A Clash of Kings



James B. - I'm reading through A Song of Ice and Fire again in anticipation of the new one coming out this Summer and in anticipation of seeing the series when it hits the DVDs.

Just started Scott Weiland Not Dead & Not For Sale The Earthling Papers a Memoir

Started it yesterday and now Im like 30 pages away from finishing it I have a very hard time putting it down, my only disappointment is it seems condensed but its been honest at least in my opinion

That book is incredibly f*cking cool dude. Its by Ram Dass right? Its all about living in the present moment, and doing so sponaneously. The present is the only time you can act. No use wasting energy on the past or future.
