I've been re-reading The Dresden Files by Jim Butcher again. I'm on Fool Moon. Also, tonight I started on Prejudices: First Series by H.L. Mencken.

read chapter 5, got a 100 on the test online. i got a 40 on last weeks test on my communications book, so this week im reading the chapter 5 times. im thinking after 3 or 4 and surely the 5th time. ill have that chapter in the brain. i already read it twice. i drink an energy drink each chapter also. or about one, almost gone.
pushing off chapter 6 until tomorrow, since im pretty sure ima get a 100. i can tell the book is on a lower reading level than the communications class book. no complaints here

****, Synners is so ****ing awesome. Almost halfway through, and each new chapter is like a orgasm of bat****tery. I wanna travel back in time and kick myself in the balls for limiting my teenage Cyberpunk phase to the Sprawl trilogy and Snowcrash.
Weird. Funny. Creative. And just plain cool. Have no ****ing how it's going to end.

The first appearance of Sherlock Holmes and his canon: A Study in Scarlet.
Watson's opener of his time as an Army Medic currently intrigues me because on Blue Bloods all of the law enforcement members of the family also have a military background, that they go to extreme lengths not to discuss. |

Absolutely essential post-apocalyptic novel. Easily in my top 10.
Reading Uzumaki on Bat's rec. Starts out a bit slow but DAMN! Went from 0 to 90 MPH in just a few pages last night. SPIRALS!!!!!!

When talking about Uzumaki it's its own thing but post-apocalyptic eventually is warranted. Dystopian is not relevant.

Post Apocalyptic: denoting or relating to the time following a nuclear war or other catastrophic event. Two very different genres. Canticle for Leibowitz is 100% post-apocalytic.
