    I just finished the great gatsby, and I have to say, it&#39;s one of the best books i&#39;ve ever read, even though I haven&#39;t read that many books. I think i&#39;m going to start on Ender&#39;s Game next.

    Geez I haven&#39;t posted since September of last year...

    I&#39;m the kinda guy that never reads only one book at a time. I read a bit, if I get bored or a low occurs in a book, I start up another one if I&#39;m not reading to quit reading that session. So I have these on the go currently:

    _The Commandos at Dieppe: Rehearsal for D-Day_, Will Fowler.
    _China&#39;s New Rulers: The Secret Files_, Nathan & Gilley.
    _Eastern Zhou and Qin Civilizations_, Li Xueqin.
    _Angkor and the Khmer Civilization_, Michael D. Coe.
    _The Pinochet File: A Declassified Dossier on Atrocity and Accountability_, Peter Kornbluh.

    And I have a subscription (bi-monthly&#33 to The Economist I am always struggling to keep up with...

    Recently finished:

    _Politicide: Ariel Sharon&#39;s War Against the Palestinians_, Baruch Kimmerling.
    _Who Killed the Canadian Military?_ Jack L. Granatstein.
    _The Trial of Henry Kissinger_, Christopher Hitchens.

    Cheers,
    -EU

    I highly recommend The Economist, Autumn Fox -- despite the title of the magazine, it&#39;s really a global, weekly &#39;sitrep&#39; (situation report) on the daily status of serious political/cultural/(ok economic) issues in international relations.

    Every month they have a special report (the last issue&#39;s was Japan&#39;s involvement in Iraq -- &#39;flexing their military muscle for the first time seriously since WWII&#39 and the magazine is organized in sections, so that there are always articles written for any part of the world of particular interest (the North, Central South Americas, all of Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, etc).

    A little on the pricey side, but highly recommended for staying up to date in military-international-strategic-globalization studies. No, I don&#39;t work for them.

    Cheers,
    -EU

    Currently reading The Time Machine. After that, The War of the Worlds.
    Both books by H.G. Wells. But you probably already knew that.

    Right now I'm alternating between The Crystal Shard, Queen of Demons, and Shakespeare's sonnets. I just finished The Lady and the Unicorn and Fool Moon.

    And since I'm now out of books, I have to make my weekly trip to the library to pick up my orders.

    things are quiet until hitler decides he'd like to invade russia
    so, he does
    the russians are like "OMG WTF D00DZ, STOP TKING"
    and the germans are still like "omg ph34r n00bz"
    the russians fall back, all the way to moscow
    and then they all begin h4xing, which brings on the russian winter
    the germans are like "wtf, h4x"
    -- WW2 for the l33t
