It shows the lengths he went to with manipulating people, and the downward spiral of his psyche in Guyana. A lot of "new" material and worth the read (it's very comprehensive) if you like that sort of thing.
    I do Will definitely be looking that one up. Thanks for the recommendation.

    anyone who wants to read anything about the current iraq conflict from the perspective of u.s. troops should check out "generation kill" by evan wright or "one bullet away" by nathan fick.

    almost finished with king's "just after sunset", which is brilliant so far. the story "harvey's dream" was almost predictable, but nonetheless had me in goosebumps after i finished reading it. stephen king, hands down, has perfected the art of writing short stories. other good collections include "different seasons", "everything's eventual", "skeleton crew", "the bachman books", and "night shift"

    Recently re-read World According to Garp and Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, both favorites from my youth, and they still hold up!

    Has anyone else out there read Hagakure? Trippy read!
