Wymalla, "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" is an awesome book. I tried reading some other books of Keseys afterwards, and they're more "modern" than it. "Sailor Song" had some cool ideas and parts to it, especially the backstory of the "BackAtcha! Bandit".

Uncle John's Heavy Duty Bathroom Reader

Which, coincidentally, has a specific referance to Warhammer on page 452 where it talks about H.G. Wells' fascination with pre-tabletop military strategy games and how they've changed since his day.

Things We Didn't See Coming, its kind of an offbeat book about Y2K, pretty good reading so far.

Automatically Appended Next Post:
Just finished The Siege of Vraks Trilogy. Man, that was grim darkness at its finest. Unfortunately, the Death Korps take a back seat in the 3rd one but I guess that can't be avoided. Definately gives a great example of how most Chaos Rebellions happen.

Im reading the best series of all time:

Just starting on "A Thousand Sons" after finishing "The Purging of Kadillus" this morning.

It was very refreshing to see the Dark Angels portrayed as the zealous sons of the Lion they are, rather than just "rawr must hunt Fallen!11!!!" that we usually get.

And of course, Scout-Sergeant Naaman brought back fond memories. Wish I'd bought the model when I had the chance.

Tim O'Brien's books. He's a great writer. Check out his book "The Things They Carried". It's a collectoin of interwoven short stories based on his experiences in 'nam. Great read.

Finished "Age of Darkness" and "Blood Reaver" as well, both great and the above is shaping up nicely as well.

This book is awesome. You should try World War z, it's by the same author.

**Ian Sturrock**

I'm re-reading _Dune_ (again!), and finding it as mind-blowingly brilliant as ever.

I'm also reading the first of Isabel Allende's young adult fiction series, _City of the Beasts_, which is beautiful -- as fast-moving and fun and accessible as good pulp fiction, but almost as thought-provoking as Borges or Calvino.

In non-fiction, I've almost finished Klein's _No Logo_, which is a must-read for 21st century living, I think.

I'm also partway through _Why Mrs Blake Cried_, which is an exploration of the 18th century poet & artist William Blake's radical beliefs on religion and sexuality -- wonderfully off-the-wall stuff.

Finally, I just started Campbell's _Occidental Mythology_, and am finding it more accessible than I'd expected -- some great scholarship in there though.

Have to say that I quite enjoyed it. None of the characters came across to me as immature jerks. I thought it represented a small, tight squad existing on their own fairly well.

Just finished that one. Was pretty good.

Sometimes I hate you oh so very much, Red.

Black Library just informed me that my copy of the BL Chapbook and Helion Rain shipped, so that will be what's on my reading docket once they arrive.

In the meantime, I'm reading "The Coming of Conan the Cimmerian" which is an omnibus of "The Tower of the Elephant", "Queen of the Black Coast", and "Black Colossus".

Can't go wrong with some Conan
