Turns out it's not just the Judeo-Christian bible that bores me to tears. I'm working on it, I swear.

Arthur C. Clarke: Firstborn (Time Odyssey)
(6/6/2013) This is supposed to be the ‘conclusion’ of the Time Odyssey series, but leaves off quite undone. Very odd. (****)Arthur C. Clarke: Sunstorm (Time Odyssey)
(6/1/2013) I love love LOVE these. Very ‘hard’ science-fiction, very clever. This is the second of the trilogy, better than the first. On to the third. (*****)Arthur C. Clarke: Time's Eye
(5/24/2013) Very clever! I thought this was going somewhere that it didn't, but it's the first of a series so maybe the next one. (****)Donald Rumsfeld: Rumsfeld's Rules: Leadership Lessons in Business, Politics, War, and Life
(5/16/2013) (****)Michael Dobbs: Six Months in 1945: FDR, Stalin, Churchill, and Truman--from World War to Cold War
(5/8/2013) (****)Ayn Rand: Atlas Shrugged
I actually "read" an abridged, audio version this time. But no worries; I've read the entire book twice over the years. I'm just cleansing my palate after watching the movies, which were horrid. I occasionally smiled during the movies, but mostly I wanted to cry. Seriously, the lady was a screenwriter and wrote her books cinematically. How could they screw this up? (By not really "getting it" and having too low a budget anyway, I'm guessing.) Sigh. (*****)Richard A. Muller: Physics for Future Presidents: The Science Behind the Headlines
(4/25/2013) I've read this before and, as before, I have some issues with some of his stuff here (he sometimes takes as given things which should be considered a bit more deeply). But that said, this is essential reading. (*****)Justin Pollard: The Rise and Fall of Alexandria: Birthplace of the Modern World
(4/12/2013) (****)Philip K. Dick: Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?
(4/10/2013) (****)Jerry Pournelle: Starswarm
(3/22/2013) The advantage of setting a story on an unknown planet is that one is free to be inventive with the zoology. Lots of fun! (****)
