Beats Breaking Wind (I think it's the sequel)   :P

My boy gave me Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson to read. Not too far into it yet, but very enjoyable so far.

Okay...I hadn't heard of Paul Is Undead. I looked it up and it is now on my Must Read list.

I'm going to read this one - right after I finish Divine Misfortune by A. Lee Martinez (who is my newest favorite author)

I <3 Martinez' writing - have you read Gil's All Fright Diner?  I was turned on to him last year at Fen Con and have since purchased most (if not all) of his books.  And met him at Apollo Con earlier this summer.  He signed all my books (6 at the time) & drew little character sketches in them -- my favorite is the little ghost Scottish terrier from Gil's.  He's a good artist, too!
Sveethot!

Right now I'm bouncing between two books - " Under the loving care of the Fatherly Leader - North Korea and the Kim Dynasty " by Bradley K. Martin, and the " Time of the Twins" series by Margaret Weis.

" Under " is a very well written book detailing the history ( known and speculated ) concerning North Korea, which fascinates me to no end! And " Time " is an awesome offshoot of th Dragonlance series.

I saw him at a couple of the conventions around here; I LOVED his irreverent attitude.   The first one I read was Monster & it cracked me up.  I'm slowly collecting his stuff.  :)

I'm currently reading "Babylonians and Assyrians by Rev. Ah.H. Sacye (an old text from a professor at Oxford that's long out of print, but obtained as an ebook though the Gutenberg Project) and finding it a surprising read. It's almost like archaeology of the archeologists' work, looking at what they once thought they knew, and the assumptions they were making versus the common view today. Makes you think twice about the things we take for granted about the past...

Re-reading the song of ice and fire books. Right now on Clash Of Kings.

Foolishly Forgotten Americans, which is a compilation of stories of interesting people in our history who seem to have fallen out of the history books. Each person gets about 5-10 pages, and the book is arranged in chronological order, starting in the 1600s. I'm up to the 1810s at the point. Very interesting read!

Oh I read that book. It was very good. Just need to get the rest of the series to read.

I know. I found it when I was looking for the Royal Scandal one at the library. Unfortunately they didn't have that one...
