'Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman' a collection of quite a few short stories by Haruki Murakami, which so far I think are all rather good

You assume that I have a reason.

Don't worry, though. I'll follow up with up-to-date texts.

I finished up The Maze by Will Hobbs the other night. Pretty good book, I'd recommend it for those who have finished up some monster books and want a quicker read (248 pages in my copy, with a lot of those being author's notes.

I have some other books that I need to be reading for a school thing, but I'm also starting Storming Little Round Top: The 15th Alabama and Their Fight for the High Ground July 2, 1863 by Phillip Thomas Tucker. It looks good from the portion I've gotten through, hopefully it will be.

Frank Herbert's DUNE for the thousandsth time. Just re-read the Jurassic Park books, Arthur C. CLarkes Ghost from Grand Banks, and a few others that I forget. Also just read Conrad's Heart of Darkness for AP lit. He wrote in his third language. And its still better then most native speaking authors. I dropped that class though. Damn tired of failing the class for not annotating my books the way she wanted. And we never did anything else worth anything, so I couldn't raise my grade. We freaking wrote 1 essay the whole semester and that was in class.

Arc of Justice by Kevin Boyle. About the Sweet trials in Detroit in 1925. First book I've had to read for school this year that I'm actually enjoying.

Look Me In The Eye by John Elder Robinson (brother of Augustin Burroughs, author of Running with Scissors). A memoir about his life with Asperger's. (I gotta say...that was one dys-effing-functional family! Psychotic mom, depressed/alcoholic/abusive dad, one kid with Asperger's, the other gay and handed over to a pedophile with the blessing of his mom's crazy shrink, who read omens in his own bowel movements.)

I recently finished the last of the Discworld books: the last one I read, after the Tiffany Aching books, was The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents - hilarious.

EDIT: Say, have you seen a doctor about that stutter?

Citadel, by John Ringo, sequel to his Live Free or Die. Not deep, but a nice romp, good read.

"Third Reich Victorious", a book about how the Germans could have won WWII (and for the record, no, I would not have liked that outcome).

"A Kingdom Strange"
The story of the the lost colony of Roanoke.
Parts of the book are dry, mainly when the author is speculating on missing blocks of info, but interesting history nonetheless.
