I have both of those Nick Blinko books. I've only read Primal Screamer though.

Ishmael blew my mind when I was 15. From what I remember I enjoyed the shit out of it. Yeah, I liked it. Most of the ideas are pretty basic stuff that I've already thought a lot about, but it was interesting enough and a quick read.

I just finished The Diesel, and Goodreads recommended me that book. Though I've got to read a book on Women in the Middle East first and then I'll probably dive into Letters From the Earth by Mark Twain.

i am a bit over halfway through Stephen King's IT. Fucking amazing book and the hardback is heavy enough to bludgeon someone to death with.

Checked out a collection of Issac Asimov's favorite sci-fi stories from the library. This guy's mysteries were great to me when I read them but this stuff... man. Fantastic!

Gonna start reading Storm of Swords tonight. Clash of Kings was a little slow up until near the end of the book, but with how it ended I'm hoping this one is more intense.
In between time spent with ASOIAF, I've been dabbing through Lucifer's Hammer and Foucault's Pendulum. Oddly enough, switching between these books isn't as much of a jumble as one would think.

@ryan: should I read the Legend of Drizzt books in order of publication, or do Book 1, Book 2, etc, etc? I've heard positives for each way.

starting Dark Tower book 5 and halfway through The Stand. Intense book.
Just finished Gormenghast (Mervyn Peake). Need to read the 3rd book in the trilogy. Great writing!

I'm on this Bukowski kick. I finished Ham on Rye last week, 20 pages shy from completing Post Office and I have two more books on their way.

I read them starting at book 1 and would def recommend it... in my opinion it gives you better insight into the world that Drizzt came from and what he had to achieve just to reach the surface world. It also lays a lot of the groundwork for the inner struggles he goes through in regards to the persecution he deals with for being a drow elf on the surface which is a recurring theme throughout the rest of the series.

Awesome, will do! After I finish ASOIAF I'm going to start on the Drizzt stuff.

Oh yeah, that's kind of the point, haha. Although I do think there is some hierarchy of nerds, at least in my head. Whenever I go to the comic shop and they have their Magic the Gathering tournaments I can't help but laugh at the mutants who show up. And then I realize that I am still shopping there as well.
