The Enemy Within by Steve Martini

Re: What are you reading?
 

I'm reading a Jasper T. Scott series.
I'm just about done with #5. The series has been pretty good, the author has pulled a lot of decent ideas out of his ass to keep it going, but he's worn out the characters and has way too many in play.
He desperately needs to kill off a bunch of them. At this point it's obvious they're just dragging along in case he needs them for a later book.
I don't mind being set up for the umpteenth book in a series, but at least be opaque about it, I figure. :)

Dark Space
The Invisible War
Origin
Revenge
Avilon
Armageddon

Re: What are you reading?
 

Michael, you have to read Fuzzy Nation and Redshirts before you quit Scalzi.
Lockout isn't bad, either. Not all that original, but I really like Scalzi.

I just read:
The Lost Starship
The Lost Command
The Lost Destroyer
all by Vaughn Hepner.

I just started "On Distant Shores" (Earth Exiles Book 1) by some truck driver.
Mark Harritt, that's his name. I really like it so far, but it's taking it's good time getting wound up and there's way too much info so far. About 50 characters in 50 pages. I have no idea who anyone is. :)

Re: What are you reading?
 

Working through the HP series right now. On the Goblet of Fire, but it's taking a bit longer than the previous books. I wish it were in two parts, so I can take it with me everywhere, but the books just keep getting thicker.

Re: What are you reading?
 

I'm reading several things on the kindle but thought that some here might be interested in my latest e-book selection. It is by one of my colleagues here at Portland State, Melanie Mitchell (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melanie_Mitchell, http://web.cecs.pdx.edu/~mm/). If any of you have read Godell, Escher, Bach: The Eternal Golden Braid, know that her PhD advisor authored that book.

Complexity: a Guided Tour (http://www.amazon.com/Complexity-Gui.../dp/0199798109) is very well written (at least so far) and targeted at the non-technical audience. I've always been impressed with Melanie's clear communications style and am anxious to see it in action in a setting for the non-technical. And in this area, I am definitely the non-technical.

If you are interested in artificial life, machine learning, and such, this is likely a very good book. I'm just starting in so will have more to say in a week or so.

Looks good I'm going to pick that up for my nook. I wonder what it's like to spend that much time with Hofstadter? I don't know if I'd get smarter by osmosis or if I'd burn out what little brain I do have trying to keep up with him!
Your colleague and Hofstadter must think along the same lines I see she wrote a book called "Analogy-Making as Perception" in '93 and that's pretty close to the subject matter of Hofstatder's latest.

i hate the internet, jared kobek

Terrible.

So people just list books on this thread, no reviews? That's kind of odd. Reviews would be helpful, even if they're pithy.

Re: What are you reading?
 

End of Watch by King was indeed the last of the Mercedes series. What a great book!
