[Aegis]

The Destroyermen series by Taylor Anderson; historical-ish alternate universe fiction where a WWI-era destroyer gets transported from WWII Asiatic fleet to a parallel universe where other species are the dominant form of life. Anderson is both an historian and a gunsmith, and his firearm details are accurate yet not as blatantly obvious as Larry Correia's. Currently waiting for the 5th book to come out in paperback so I don't have to spend 25 bucks on the hardback...

I keep seeing these in B&N. I may have to look into book 1. How are you enjoying the series?

It's really enjoyable. Good storyline, characters you actually care about, despicable villains, the works. Nothing extremely innovative, in the grand scheme of things, but well-written and entertaining.

Well shit. I went looking for Stephensons quote on Russian design last night, and ended up starting to re-read cryptonomicon. Now I'm 200 pages in again, and I need to finish it.

MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA

LOL!! CAUGHT YOU!! Didn't they??? It's almost as bad as not being able to get a song out of your head, huh?

The Constitution and The Zombie Survival Guide.

I am waiting for the new Ringo book to come out in paperback / deciding if I want to go the digital route.

Looking for some other reading material so I may well dive into some of the above. Thanks guys.

And I am exactly the Opposite of Chris. I eat each book whole then move on to the next. At least in entertainment reading.

I picked up John Ringo's The Citadel, because I had recently re-read Live Free or Die.

I just finished "The Ramen King and I". Light reading about how ramen noodles helped a man overcome his addiction to casual sex (really!).

I've started into an Andy McNab book. I don't reall which one - they're pretty much all the same anyhow.

I'm also in the middle of "the model engineer's workshop manual", by G.H. Thomas.

The Pathfinder, or The Inland Sea, James Fenimore Cooper.

I had to take a break a couple moths ago from James Fenimore Cooper. As the early chapters of The Pathfinder were beginning to run and intermix in my brain with scenes from The Deerslayer and Last of the Mohicans.

Yeah, I fel the same about Harlen Coben. Good, quick reads for the most part; but entirely forgettable and interchangeable.

Most of the Michael Connolly's novels are the same way; as are most of David Baldacci's novels.

I will admit to a taking a certain guilty pleasure in reading these "airport novels". They're basically the mental equivalent of diet soft drinks - they taste a bit like books, but have no discernible content. I switched to McNab because I was too tired to enjoy the Kurt Vonnegut book I had just started - I discovered I'll need to read that one when I'm more rested.
