Snow and Books

Posted By on January 3, 2006

So, we got somewhere between 10 and 12 inches of snow today. There was 6 this morning, which means I would have had to shovel for an hour or so just to get out of the drive. So, I ended up working from home, which ended up being very productive.

Anyway, I've figured I'd start posting my “book stack”; the list of literature I've recently read, or am reading, or whatnot.

Just “popped” off the stack (in the last couple months):

Ten Things You Can't Say in America, Larry Elder
Showdown, Larry Elder
Numerous back issues of American Rifleman
Numerous back issues of Game Informer

Currently on the stack:
Jarhead, Anthony Swofford
Dark Tower VI: Song of Susannah, Stephen King
SAS Survival Handbook, John “Lofty” Wiseman
How to Talk to a Liberal (If You Must), Ann Coulter
The Underground History of American Education, John Taylor Gatto
Numerous back issues of Road and Track

Currently on order from Amazon:

People's History of the United States : 1492 to Present, Howard Zinn
Street Magic (Shadowrun)
Runner Havens (Shadowrun)
On Killing : The Psychological Cost of Learning to Kill in War and Society, Dave Grossman
On Combat, Dave Grossman

And, because I'm on a FireFly kick (also on order from Amazon)
Serenity: The Official Visual Companion, Joss Whedon; Paperback
Serenity Role Playing Game, Jamie Chambers
Finding Serenity : Anti-Heroes, Lost Shepherds and Space Hookers in Joss Whedon's Firefly, Glenn Yeffeth
