    I started the Game of Thrones first book. I havent yet watched the TV series but so far the book hasnt really drawn me in all that much. Some decent parts but not quite what I expected.

    I've just started Ready Player One by Ernest Cline, so far it's superb. Set just outside Okalahoma City in the not too distant future & choc full of uber geeky references to 80's pop culture. It's quite special I think.


    Keep at it, some storylines are slow burners but the last couple of books are absolute rip-snorters!

    The Power of Body Language: An Ex FBI Agents System For Speed Reading People - Joe Navarro

    Actually not too bad. I thought it would be pretty dry, but it is keeping my attention.

    Finished The Book of Basketball. I like Bill Simmons and his take on the game. Also got me to have more of an appreciation for the players that came before like Moses Malone, George Mikan and The Big O.

    Starting The Smartest Book In The World from Greg Proops.

    My knee is totally shot coming off surgery, si I'm off my leg completely for six weeks. Already polished off the new Joe Hill "The Fireman" and Stephen King's "End of Watch", which IMO was a far best entry into his James Patterson-esque trilogy. I've got the new Brian Keene "Pressure" coming on Tuesday too, should be good.

    I've read a lot of behavioural manuals from many law and intelligence organizations.

    They are extremely useful if you are disciplined.

    Try reading Social Engineering: The Art of Human Hacking if you want some more coercive information. Tokyo Institute of Technology used to have a department dedicated to the practice with English language resources but they are gone now.

    I just picked up NOFX's The Hepatitis Bathtub and Other Stories. I expect it to be very entertaining.

    This is as entertaining as expected. Time to go on a nofx bender.

    Also grabbed Leben's recent book from a discount bin. Stories are very entertaining but damn the book is bad overall, not that I expected more.

    Thinking about purchasing the "Witcher" books, they're apparently quite good.

    So I just got a Kindle (I’m typically 5-10 years behind current technology). I love it. I’m reading an awesome series by Steven King. The Dark Towers. I’m on book three. I am really enjoying it.

    My question is this. What is a good audio book to listen to. A coworker of mine asked me if I listen to books while I work out or do whatever. I said no but how? She said download overdrive. Again I’m quite behind. I now have done this. Now I don’t want a good fiction book b/c I don’t want to take my attention away from what I’m currently reading. I think I need a good self-help, religious, biography, or non-fiction book. Anyone got any suggestions?

    How awesome that I can do this on my phone. What an a great time to be alive!
