Reading shitty books when you're supposed to be doing other things is about the least destructive type of self-destructive behaviour I've hit on yet.

Jumper

Samuel L. Jackson is not in this book. If the only thing the book has in common with the movie is that the guy can teleport, I think they could have called the movie any of a billion different names.

The Prince of the Marshes
by Rory Stewart
Finished Today.
I guess even the people who made some right decisions couldn't get things to work out in Iraq. Not in 1-2 years, anyway.

Valencia

Really interesting to see inside this world, but man, so many drugs. Too many - I wish I could find out what happens to the characters 25 years later, like at the end of A Scanner Darkly.

The Amber Spyglass
by Philip Pullman
Some interesting ideas and interesting images, but man, obvious religious evangelism is cheesy and lame, even when it's for my religion.

The Long Walk Home - Paul Franklin's Journey from Afghanistan >>> A Soldier's Story
by Liane Faulder
Finished today.
So, in case the fact that there are three titles didn't tip you off, this isn't very professionally written. But, it's about a good guy, and his story is interesting, if unfinished.
Oh, and the guy the book is about handed me my copy right after he signed it for me. I didn't even intend to buy the book (I had never heard of it) until I saw him there.
