Reading another Cussler book (Cyclops or something.) And Copyright Law, Maritime Law, TX Marital Property code, and 1st Amendment. I've never read anything by or about "Cysco."
I understand. I graduated in May with my Masters and read everything that I could'nt when I was going to school. I crammed about 10 books in a month and got burned out. I am hooked on playing Sims2 right now! . When I do read I like Sci Fi- Fantasy, thiller, crime, drama, romance. etc. (I like it all). Fave authors are Roger Zealany, Christine Feehan, Lisa Jackson, and Kay Hooper.
I have four books open right now. 1. "Le Morte D'Arthur" by Mallory -- another in the dozen or so Arthurian novels I've been reading in the last few years. This is one of the earliest, dating from the 15th century. 2. "Gettysburg: A Journey Through Time" by Frassanito -- A very excellent historical research book where the author has gathered all of the wartime photographs of the battlefield and has located where each of them were taken and made modern counterparts. He has found that many original captions and descriptions were wrong and this has mislead many historians over the years. 3. "Robinson Crusoe" by DeFoe -- I've been re-reading some of the classics that I haven't read since I was a child. This was one of my favorites. 4. "Outrage: Five Reasons that O.J. Simpson Got Away With Murder" by Bugliosi -- The prosecutor that put Manson away and wrote "Helter Skelter" analyizes the OJ trial. This book will really piss you off. The incompetence of the judge and the prosecutors is appalling.
"Christian Self-Mastery" by Fr. Basil Maturin. He was a catholic priest that went down with the Lusitania while trying to save peoples' lives. Do you think he knew anything about character?
LOL no need to spell perfectly, you knew what I meant. the big deal is the new Adtran Bridge, it is tough to configure. You have to telnet into it and "wake" it up with a bootstrap batch file. It is like looking at the phone book. anyway good day.
:rofl: So true, it's like the writers of manuals have no idea how to get it right. There's either the "phone book" style, or the Ikea style, that refuse to use words OR clear diagrams.
It's one of my favorite books, even though it's a Fascist primer. "Atlas Shugged" is also great reading, again the poltics are obnoxious.
"Wolves Eat Dogs" by Martin Cruz Smith (Renko is one of my favorite characters) "The Bomber War" by Robin Neillands (I think Germany got of light in World War II) "Cognative Coaching and Renaussance Schools" by Costa and Garmston (yet another grad degree) plus the LSU media guide. Ruskies or Nazis and I'll read it, same for a GOOD law mystery.
Just finished reading "Valhalla Rising" by Clive Cussler. Great read with interesting characters. I was a little shocked while reading it though. The author, Clive Cussler, put hisself in the book in a few small parts. I was taken back by that. I didn't know what to think. I would guess he probably does that in all is books. It must be an ego thing or something. I've never read a book where the author puts hisself in it before. Weird!
