Now reading Ursula K. LeGuin's Conversations on Writing. Very good.

Best State Ever....A Florida Man Defends His Homeland.- Dave Barry

I laughed so hard, it literally made me cry.

-------------------------
Specializing in sarcasm and condescending rhetoric since 1971.

My Cross to Bear - Gregg Allman Bio, excellent.

Amazon spammed me with some international author free books right before I went to costa on vacation.  I picked up "A River in darkness" about a Japanese kid who went to N.K and lived through hell to make it back to Japan as an old man.  Very interesting look at that reality.  I also downloaded a book called "The great passage" about a japanese encyclopedia being written.  Both interesting as my basic reading is total engineering theory.

The Pope of Palm Beach by Tim Dorsey.

Dorsey is Hiaasen unhinged.

-------------------------
I was right.

I've been reading Dorsey too. Just finished The big bamboo. He definitely knows Florida history, but the Serge Storm stories can be a little cheesy.

Just downloaded 'Big Trouble' by Dave Barry for my read today; 6 hour purge on a well today, this should help.

Timothy Egan, "The Big Burn."    Page turner, and also required reading.

A wild surfing thriller that takes place in Brevard: My Twisted Summer.

Available at lulu.com

And, same writer, new eccentric book, Blueberries and Coffee.

I judged a book by the cover and it turned out to be a great read. Very insightful with his unique approach to life.

Just finished Siddhartha by Herman Hesse. Short. Brilliant. Timeless.

"One of the reasons why propaganda tries to get you to hate government is because it's the one existing institution in which people can participate to some extent and constrain tyrannical unaccountable power." Noam Chomsky.

Just picked up a copy today. Will let you know.

Also got a copy of James Clapper's book, "Facts and Fears: Hard Truths from a Life in Intelligence." Didn't realize it until I cracked the book, but Clapper lived in Satellite Beach when he was director of AFTAC in the 1980's.

Tolstoy. War and Peace. Again. Its better now that I am old.
