I'm working my way through Jack McDevitt's "Academy" series. That, and the "Alex Benedict" series, too. Well-written and enjoyable sci-fi; thought-provoking and sensible.

I'd give it all up, for just a little more.

MARINE SNIPER by Charles Henderson. About GSGT Carlos Hathcock and his exploits in Viet Nam. He literally founded the most successful U S sniper program up to that time in history. A tremendously gutsy guy with 93 confirmed kills in the field. Military buffs enjoy this book.

Thomas Pynchon Inherent Vice. Heard they're making a movie out of it next year that Paul Thomas Anderson is directing.

Just finished 'Sputnik sweetheart' by Haruki Murakami. While i'm not 100% sure what was it all about but it was a great book anyway. Surely gives a lot to think about for days to come. And that is what all the great books are.
