"Lonigan" by Louis L'Amour. Excellent book of short stories.

I just finished "The Poisoner's Handbook" by Deborah Blum. I loved it. I knocked it out in two days, I hated to sit it down.
It's all true story stuff and very science-y, all about forensic pathology. I read some stuff on alcohols that I'd never thought of before and left me with some really great mad scientist ideas. I even had to stop and make notes.

I finished Regis Philbin: How I got this way last night. It was pretty good

BSB · 01-24-2012, 09:10 AM

Finished one L'Amour and into another, "Law of the Desert Born." More short stories. In the intro, he mentions a collection of mysteries he was putting together, "The Hills of Homicide," gonna look for it

It revolves around The Oasis, a MMORPG that has evolved more into a way of life. The real world is harsh, cold, and brutal in the future. The Oasis is the escape. You can go to public school through it, attend church, run a business, anything. The inventor dies one day and leaves a Easter Egg embedded in the game that contains his entire fortune and few clues.

That's the story and it's just a very engaging book that made me wish for another thousand pages in this universe!

I picked this up yesterday. About halfway through it now - pretty fantastic. As a former WoW player, former Everquest player, and current D&D player it is fantastic in its geekdom.

Also - it reminds me quite a bit of Charles Platt's "The Silicon Man"

Have you checked out The Nightside series by Simon R. Green? I discovered it in an anthology put together by Jim Butcher. It's also pretty good.

In the same anthology I also discovered Kat Richardson's Greywalker series. It's not humorous like the others but it's good and takes place in the Seattle area (so I recognize some of the references).
