currently reading the road by Cormac McCarthy. I dug the no country for old men movie so I figured it's be best to check out something by the author. The Road has a post-apocalyptic setting that's I'm definitely digging. Anyone else have any reccomendations for PA books?

Friend of mine read through, Lucifer's Hammer I believe it was called, and it was based something in or around L.A. about stuff and things. I don't remember diddly-squat about it. It's a read I'm curious about picking up my self after I polish off the 7 remaining books I have on my shelf. She seemed to throughly enjoy it; but I myself cannot make a claim to how well the book is.

I just picked up The Revolution: A Manifesto by Ron Paul at the airport giftshop. I hope to have it read before my plane touches down.

I just finished "From a Buick 8" by Stephen King, and am now starting Robin Cook's "Outbreak."

I also have a copy of "The Best of 2600" I randomly skim, but that book is too huge to actually carry around anywhere and read.

If I carried my reading material around in a tote bag, you'd have just totally skooled me.  But I'm limited to a paperback in my pocket.

Legacy of Ashes: The History of the CIA is pretty awesome. I've also got The Will to Technology and the Culture of Nihilism and the Myth of Juvenile Delinquency.

Daniel Silva's "Moscow Rules"

So far it's dragging a little. I have a feeling it will pick up soon though. Glenn Beck, whom I watch every chance I get, had the author on the show and both of them convinced me to give it a try.

I just finished Robin Cook's "Outbreak."  It was a decent read right up until the last few pages, when it collapsed into the weakest goddamned ending possible.  It goes from seviceable corporate/medical thriller to Lifetime Original Movie in one chapter flat.

Transmetropolitan was the only comic I really liked.

Real books:
Just finished Moscow 2042 (great), and am reading War Nerd, The Brothers Karamazov, and Coup d'État: A Practical Handbook. After I finish some of these I plan on finishing Paradise Lost, and all of kurt vonnegut's books.

The more you know!
