I read Dave Grohl's "The Storyteller", and ... shit. I didn't think I could love the guy any more than I already do... and now I do love him. Even more. Also absolutely FLOORED to hear that the entire Nirvana experience was less than 3 years, start to finish. It was the least time he was in any band in his life. Crazy.

Currently re-reading George Stewart's "Earth Abides", because I need to think there is a future out there, and this one is pretty dang good.

My Mom, the Republican apologist, gave me a copy of "The Almost Nearly Perfect People: Behind the myth of the Scandinavian utopia" because - I assume - she wants me to read a polemic against progressive societies and uphold the hate-based principles of the american right wing.

I haven't opened it yet.

And I am regularly excited, intrigued, and humored by Fermat's Library's Journal Club, a service that emails you a (somewhat) random scientific paper weekly. The contents of these papers are always an interesting read, and it's not just new stuff... one of the papers they sent out recently was written in the 1960's. This link to one of the papers - "Why can't you separate interleaved books?" is a perfect example of the fun and weird stuff I learn from their service.
