Carry on, Jeeves, and My man Jeeves. by P.G. Wodehouse. I just love these stories. Wodehouse is probally my favorite modern British writer(C.S. Lewis falls a very close second). |

I'm working on Dirk Gently at the moment. Finished Hitchhiker's earlier this year. I'd like to go back and read Animal Farm sometime. |

Oh dear, I do a pretty bad job of hiding it but I never really blatantly admit this... *takes a deep breath* I’m a little bit of a geekette so I’m reading Peter F. Hamilton’s “The Dreaming Void” at the moment. |

The Night's Dawn trilogy: over three thousand pages of glorious geekery, absolutely riveting... shame about the ending. Sigh. |

Indeedy, I adored the first two but the title of the last book made me a lil apprehensive and I was right to be. The ending was truly very disappointing but at least it explained the “ring system” thing. Anyhoo, I’ve finished The Dreaming Void now so now I’m going for my new books to arrive. I’ve ordered “Responsibility and Judgment” and “The Human Condition” by Hannah Arendt |

Fantastic. I really like how he sets it up as a quite light and humorous tale then plunges everything into darkness and misery. My kind of novel. |

Re-reading Veeck as in Wreck, by Bill Veeck and Ed Linn. I'm a big fan of Bill Veeck. He was one of the great showmen in Baseball. His son mike isn't too bad either. I've got to see if The Hustler's Handbook in in print again.

Anti-Americanism by Jean-Francois Revel. Revel is a French national, and this book was originally published in French and later translated into English.
It's a pretty interesting book, and an interesting perspective for an American. Especially interesting is the introduction(!), where he describes his first trip to America, and how his view of America changed by actually seeing America, as opposed to just reading about it in national newspapers. The table of contents gives a nice overview of his opinion of European anti-Americanism:
I wouldn't normally wax so poetic about a book (especially one I haven't finished), but I think it's worth reading; and not just right-wing people like myself. |

Marine Sniper: 93 Confirmed Kills, by Charles W. Henderson Re-reading a book about marine sniper, Gunnery Sgt. Carlos Hathcock, and after I finish I'll be reading Silent Warrior by Charles W. Henderson. Its a sort of sequel to the above book, with added stories of Carlos' sniper days, and afterwards, when he was out of the Corps up to his death. |
