What Are You Reading?

Brushing up my pop culture history even further with two books on music I can highly recommend to anyone.

Nick Tosches' Award-Winning "Hellfire", an biography of Rock and Roll icon Jerry Lee Lewis, who might or might not have lived up to his "Killer" moniker later in life...

And

A quite interesting book, even if the fact that one of the authors is a member of a satanic and possible neo-fascist band himself sometimes gets in the way of factuality.

Just finished off the Lost Fleet series by Jack Campbell.

Good, honest military sci-fi. Dug it a lot. Enjoyed every page. Fantastic space-naval battle portral, definitely a little weak on the character development. Still had a lot of fun.

On now to Antony Beevor's books, I've wanted to read them for a long time. I'm starting with Stalingrad, then will read Ardennes and Berlin.

The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch
Good read so far (20%) :nod:

That didn't take me long at all, I think I finished it about a week and a half. After that, I started on the second part - Red Seas under Red Skies - and somehow left it at 20%. But now I'm back at it and blasting through that as well :)

Killing yourself to live by Chuck Klosterman is not a book about dead rock stars. It's about how to be a (pop-culture obsessed) heterosexual male with heterosexual male theories about girls while meta-theorizing about how un-pc said theories are after all, only to fianally realize that each of your exes represents one of the original members of Kiss.

In other words, a must read.

Any good? I'm getting a bit tired of basically the same story, just with munitions change.

More of the same pretty much. Well I'm halfway through so no final judgment just yet. I've been reading lots of military sci-fi lately so it's a nice change of pace for me.
