read pretty much all of them by R343L

So far. It's what happens when I go on business trips and need stuff to read -- I buy escapist paperbacks. Maybe I'm stupid, but I didn't know who the villain was going to be until fairly late in. The later books are better anyway -- the conflicts become more gray and certain bad guys aren't precisely bad guys (relative to other ones). Plus, like all new authors, the writing gets better.

I was at the library and grabbed another one by TheophileEscargot

The third in the series. As someone once said, the only people really opposed to escapism are jailers...

You will want to start reading them in order after maybe the fourth one. There starts to be a fair few recurring characters introduced and so forth that would get confusing. Unless you don't care. Maybe they'd still be entertaining regardless.

I really enjoyed Hidden Fortress on the big screen, though agree it's not really in the same league as, say Sanjuro, Yojimbo, Ran und so weiter. All of which are vastly improved in proportion to the square footage of viewing apparatus.

Gave up on Stephen Baxter years ago. Don't really rate him as producing anything above average.

Tony Blair article by nebbish (4.00 / 1) #5 Tue May 29, 2007 at 01:35:39 AM EST

Great stuff. Amazing (no, actually it's not) how many people have forgotten about Sierra Leone. It was a massive success - Kosova too, and hopefully Afghanistan in the future.

Is beginning to be won. Iraq though really blots Blair's copy book...

As time goes on I'm more forgiving of Blair over Iraq. He really wanted to do the right thing, and I don't think he could have forseen what an utter mess the US would make of reconstruction, which I think is where the roots of failure lie.

English history... by Breaker (4.00 / 1) #7 Tue May 29, 2007 at 03:03:54 AM EST

I do wonder at modern social programs to eliminate binge drinking and fighting. As a Celt-Saxo-Norman-Viking, I demand the right to drink strong lager and have a scrap.

Anything less is depriving me of my cultural identity.

Do you get the Dresden Files over there? by ammoniacal (4.00 / 1) #9 Tue May 29, 2007 at 09:28:07 AM EST

It's a pretty good show. I'll probably buy it on DVD when it's released.

It was an unholy union of text and pulped wood that the Ancients used to distribute their blogs.

Didn't know it was a TV show too. Expect it will show up eventually...

: IIRC, y'all receive the SciFi channel? by ammoniacal (4.00 / 1) #11 Tue May 29, 2007 at 11:02:51 AM EST

Here's the site. It seems to have its roots in the '70s show Kolchak: The Night Stalker.
