Book, copyright 2014. 1177 B.C.The Year Civilization Collapsed by Eric H. Cline.
History/archaeology. The author describes the late Bronze Age (sometimes referred to as The International Age). This was a cosmopolitan period of internationalism/globalism. The author suggests that the present is beginning to resemble this period.

Came across an anthology-"ARMORED"-edited by John Joseph
Adams. Refers to powered armor worn by soldiers, as in Starship Troopers.
In one story-"Sticks and Stones"-by Robert Buettner, a man explores human cultures planted by aliens on another planet. These cultures are transitioning from Bronze Age to Iron Age.

I am listening to Alas, Babylon by Pat Frank, narrated by Will Patton.
I thoroughly enjoyed Return of Little Big Man by Thomas Berger. Jack Crabbe is such a great character whether you 'believe' his stories or not. I especially like his dog in ROLBM. However the book is not quite as good as Little Big Man because Old Lodgeskins isn't in it.

@ War: The Rise of the Military-Internet Complex
I just finished the 5th Dexter book. "Dexter is Delishous". It is a funny and interesting book. Gruesome of course, but for being a book about a serial killer it's quite mild. The title of the book is weird, but makes sense after a while.
Currently I am reading:
Feed by Mira Grant. Book 1 of the Newsflesh series. It is a book about 3 young bloggers who live in a zombie infested world. The main character is quite cool. The author seems to want to be techy and uses a lot of "techy" words where they are not needed. But as a fan of star trek, that doesn't really bother me. The characters are fun and the story is exciting.

Well I finally finished I Am Pilgrim, lord knows how it got so many 5 star reviews, could have had at least a third of the prose cut out without losing much. I thought I wrote a lot till I read this 
Now reading a compilation of Doctor Who stories done for the 50th anniversary.
Oh and I've been reading my novel Safe House as I did a last proof read before publishing it on Amazon (I think that was subtle enough
)

^^ That's an excellent book. I read that a few years ago.
Just what are you getting at?Oh and I've been reading my novel Safe House as I did a last proof read before publishing it on Amazon (I think that was subtle enough
Finished listening to the Percy Jackson series. The first two-thirds of the last book (The Last Olympian) were quite tedious.

Nothing...nothing at all
I haven't read A Walk Amongst the Tombstones in years. I was tempted to reread it after seeing the film last year.
HA! I just got Safe House...
I bought Safe House yesterday. I am going to read it sometime this month.
Ditto. 
I saw the movie too and while it was good, it was very different from the book, so I felt like it needed a re-read. It's still a great book that holds up extremely well despite it's extensive use, and discussion of payphones.

Matt Scudder does like his payphones, and I'm glad that aspect came across in the film. One of these days I mean to reread all the Scudder books in publication order.
I'm not sure an author can get much better feedback than that. Thank you very much it means a lot
