I'm currently reading Mary Poppins. I realize that for a 32 year old, that seems odd, but it's been one of my top favorite movies forever, and I finally wanted to read the book...


It's a good bit different than the movie. Mary Poppins is a ***** in the book.

I've heard this but i actually struggle on the kindle. I don't know if it's because I'm too used to books and I'm unwilling to change or what but something about the kindle just doesnt feel right to me. I think it just comes down to personal preference. I got a kindle for christmas and just gave it to my dad because I can't get used to it and I'm afraid i'll fall asleep while using it and roll over on it:2

Just depends on how this one goes. If its as good as I hope then there will be no doubt that I will read the rest.

I just finished "The Poisoner's Handbook" by Deborah Blum. I loved it. I knocked it out in two days, I hated to sit it down.
It's all true story stuff and very science-y, all about forensic pathology. I read some stuff on alcohols that I'd never thought of before and left me with some really great mad scientist ideas. I even had to stop and make notes. :D

The story is geared towards anyone who grew up around the pop culture of video games, arcades, the 80's, and geekdom!

It revolves around The Oasis, a MMORPG that has evolved more into a way of life. The real world is harsh, cold, and brutal in the future. The Oasis is the escape. You can go to public school through it, attend church, run a business, anything. The inventor dies one day and leaves a Easter Egg embedded in the game that contains his entire fortune and few clues.

That's the story and it's just a very engaging book that made me wish for another thousand pages in this universe!
I picked this up yesterday. About halfway through it now - pretty fantastic. As a former WoW player, former Everquest player, and current D&D player it is fantastic in its geekdom.

Also - it reminds me quite a bit of Charles Platt's "The Silicon Man"

Have you checked out The Nightside series by Simon R. Green? I discovered it in an anthology put together by Jim Butcher. It's also pretty good.

In the same anthology I also discovered Kat Richardson's Greywalker series. It's not humorous like the others but it's good and takes place in the Seattle area (so I recognize some of the references).
