Two things
Blogger is being a little bitch today, so we'll see if this works. I went golfing yesterday, shot a smooth 140. At least I didn't lose my ball like this girl. That link is horribly unsafe for work.
And in case you missed it -- the new book club is going to be "Snow Crash" by Neal Stephenson. It's the tale of Hiro Protagonist, a freelance hacker living in the not too distant future. I wanted to do Stephenson's "Cryptonomicon" but its like 1000 pages long, and has a bit too much math for the goats. Also, "Master and Margerita" is waiting in the wings -- chances are I may start reading that before snow crash is done.

Hot. Make sure, for the Master and Margarita, that you get the Richard Pevear translation. Yeah I'll tell you what to do.

Oh its too late for that. I already bought a different version. Jerk.
I just read a book by Phillip Dick called "The Man in The High Castle." It was a what if the Nazis and Japanese had won world war II and America was an occupied country premise. Pretty good stuff. Won the Hugo or the Pulitzer or some piece of crap award like that. Honestly if its not the Nobel, it really doesnt count.
Read Snow Crash a couple months ago, so I may not be ready for a re-read just yet. I'm reading Interface right now, another Stephenson book, though sans most of the cyberpunk/tech porn.
