Well currently Im reading The Second Angel by Philip Kerr:

It is a pretty good fiction story but it is kinda hard to follow becos it jump from one place to another, it talk about the future whre like 80% of the world population is infected by blood disease called P2 and how blood is the most expensive thing in the world. It use many scientific terms and introduce some new cool stuff which may would be invernted in the future. So far it is pretty interesting...

What's a dirty feminist?

If you're not completely satisfied--welcome to the real world.

A sarcastic remark made between myself and Jim aimed at Kate Chopin. She would be an example of a dirty feminist.

Just finished Jennifer Government by Max Barry. I thought this was a good book... relatively entertaining, and it kept me interested pretty well. It goes through a lot of twists, and there are more than a few main characters so if you take breaks between reading it I can imagine how it might be confusing, but if you read it all at once it makes things really intriguing. This book was also what the game NationStates was based off of I think...

They tell me this will work one day

Currently in the middle of Word Freak by Stefen Fatsis, the best (and only) book about the gritty underground world of professional Scrabble. It's quite possibly the most unique book i've ever read.

Start with 'Across the Nightingale Floor' since it's the first book. ;)
