it's pretty good. one of my friends did the artwork for it. good dark zombie humor.


At the moment I am reading "the Illuminatus Trilogy" it's awesome and off the wall, a bit like hitchhikers guide...but with more raunchy sex.

before that is was The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand, Stranger in a Strange Land by Heinlin, and Brave New World by Huxley
Looks pretty good, I think I'll grab that. Thx for the recommendation.

I'm going to start reading The Rickover Effect, by Theodore Rockwell. It's a biography on the guy who developed the Nuclear Navy rom scratch. Kinda cool. He was horribly eccentric, but an extraordinary genuis. He didn't give a shit about what anyone thought or said, and managed to go against Congress to develop nuclear submarines.

Catcher in the Rye. It's such a great book, I can't believe it's from the 50's.

I just finished The Manhattan Hunt Club by John Saul. Usually I have my nose stuck in a technical manual or something by Stephen King.

It's not rape, it's surprise sex.

I currently don't read at home, I have too many things to read at work and I'm fed up when I come back. I was at the 3rd tome of the Wheel of time though

so here's a sample of the articles that are on my desk (sigh)

"Predicting collective climates: assessing the role of shared work values, needs, employee interaction and work group membership"

"Collective Climates: Agreement as a basis for defining aggregate climate in Organizations"

"Intraclass correlations: Uses in assessing rater reliability"

and many more... argh

You might want to check out some of Richard Dawkins books as well, for a more recent look at evolutionary theory, like The Blind Watchmaker or The Selfish Gene.
