. Thats a damn cool machine , wish there was one in denver .

So I just finished A Scanner Darkly by Phillip K. Dick. I didn't really like it until the end. Not because it wasn't well written, but because it was too well written. It pretty accurately captures the way that junkies act, and it drove me crazy the whole time. Completely stupid conversations that just go on and on until no one has any idea what is going on. Everything dirty and desperate. Then, towards the end, things start piecing together to form the whole depressing picture.

I'm most of the way through the movie so far. The movie is entertaining in both the way that it is filmed, and how everything goes a little faster, so I don't have to spend so much time feeling like the characters.

Just finished two books, Lone Survivor and Kincade's Early Years

So first, Lone Survivor, jesus. Intense. I listened to a bit of it at work, which wasn't the best idea. I was listening to the section on when they got ambushed at work, and it was choking me up pretty bad. Luckily, no one walked up during that part. I think everyone should read this book.

Kincade's Early Years is the third in the series, and like the others, are great reads. I recommend them for sure, and start with the first one, Kincade's Blood

I've been hearing a lot about Lone Survivor. I guess it's going on the list.

Lone Survivor earned a place on my bookshelf last year [Beer]

Lone Survivor is very good and an easy read. I am not a fast reader and read about a third in a day.

Lone Survivor
Bravo Two Zero
Starship Diaries

Oh shit this thread is 3 years old!

Love Bravo Two Zero. His first book, Immediate Action is also good. I liked Starship Troopers but I don't know the Starship Diaries.

Starship Diaries is an autobiography of a man who made a fortune in the dot-com world before the bubble burst, and in 2000-2001, he bought a Beech Starship and decided to fly it around the world...took him over a year, all said and done.
