I enjoyed this. It's set in 2011/2012, but references factual events from the 50's through present. It's about Dan Brown level writing, but the mix of fact and fiction was an interesting way to present the topic.

A good mix of education and entertainment.

If that is a suggestion for the next "book of the month", I'll second it.

Sounds like something I might actually enjoy reading. I'll see if I can snag a copy and start reading it.

That's up to Ainwein. He's the boss here.

I'd be happy to do whatever the job is to run this as a book of the month sometime though. I predict it would be an "interesting" discussion.

It's a community. I'm up for whatever garners interest.

I've just been too lazy to really go about trying to figure out exactly who wants to do the book club thing. Too many people say yes and then don't seem to participate. Makes it difficult ; )

/shrug I said in the beginning if it didn't interest me I wouldn't read it :p There's no point in buying something I know I won't read.

Library card ;)

Library card ;)

Sounds like a communist plot.

I haven't used a library card since I was in college, eeeeek that was a while ago. But duly noted nonetheless :)

I don't want to get too much of a derail going here, but a lot of libraries also offer movies and music CD's to check out, so they can offer much more than what you may remember from your youth. I know I have expanded my music library thanks in part to the local library offerings.

Library cards are a good thing. :D

I would love to, just dont have the time with school work and a newborn arriving in 7 weeks. Gah.

Speaking of libraries, my local library has a massive listing of books on tape mp3s that you can download on the internet if you have a library card. I burned quite a few books to CDs for long car rides. Go check em out!
