Currently carving my way through everything of Spider Robinson's I can pick up on the cheap, and am probably going to start in on Modessit's 'Saga of the Recluse' before the end of the weekend.

Fats reading speed really sucks someimes.

Finished Parker, Almost finished Tides of War, got F. Paul Wilson's latest Repairman Jack story....

Stormbringer · Post by **Stormbringer** » 2003-08-08 10:19pm

Let's see. I'm reading:

The Grass Crown, I just finished First Man in Rome. I'm sure Marina will turn up to give me a long diatribe on historical innacuracies of their history but they're pretty good books.

I'm also half way through Von Bek: The Warhound and the World's Pain

Heretics of Dune

Idly re-reading War of Honor.

Any one think this ought to just get moved to OT?

A book on Bipolar Disorder.

And I think it should be in OT, as well.

I have a book with all the Callahan stories in it (I think it has all of them). I really like that bar but how many times can the world be saved by them getting drunk and psychic?

consequences · Post by **consequences** » 2003-08-09 12:20pm

Three so far.

An I really doubt that hat book has all of the Callahan stories in it, that's at least ten books if you count the Lady Sally stuff, still eight+ if you don't.

Mark S · Post by **Mark S** » 2003-08-09 12:36pm

Well I know for a fact it doesn't have any Lady Sally stuff. It's called 'The Callahan Chronicals' and reading the cover it's actually just the first three books in the series. It seems to be made up of a lot of short stories.

Edit: I also have Callahan's Legacy

Sten 5: Revenge Of The Damned. I'm on part 5 of 8 and they are fantastic books. Even if they are a bit James Bond in Space.

Recently finished Sword of the Samurai Cat. Currently reading Look to Windward and Extreme Paranoia.

That's just as bad as reading 200 pages of The Grapes of Wrath one day..

Manga. Ghost in the Shell and the first three Bebop mangas right now. Think I'll start up on Love Hina soon.

I may pick up Physics for the Rest of Us on Monday, because my knowledge of that field is sorely lacking.

I am waiting for Teeth of the Tiger by Tom Clancy
I also finished rereading the whole Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy series.

Have a very nice day.

I'm learning new ways to swear by reading Richard Marcinko's Rogue Warrior series. Lighthearted fun recreational reading, but jesus christ talk about swearing like a sailor!

The sad thing is, that probably would compile.

Although, during my long years of teaching programming to students, I probably would've marked on this assignment, in bright red letters:

Hah! Oooh, that brings back memories. I read just about every book in that series. And well, he was a sailor, y'know . . .
