Just started reading this yesterday and I am already hooked. It's about a terrorist group that sets off an EMP over the States and sends us back to the stone age. Apparently, this book was recently studied by Congress.

I saw your post last week and started researching EMPs and then my girlfriend bought me the book on Saturday. I finished it yesterday morning before work. Needless to say, I'll be buying a few extra gallons of water, vitamins, and a few canned good every time I go to the grocery store for about the next two years. REALLY startling, possible, stuff.

Pretty dang interesting (and a good book), huh? Glad you got a chance to read it! It does really hit home and truly seems more plausible than many other doomsday scenarios.

It scares me when he talks about the messes in the big cities....I can't even imagine what would happen in Chicago if something like this went down.

 
Human Action by Ludwig Von Mises

Mises' magnum opus on praxeology and how it applies to economics. Reading with a dictionary. Slow going at this point and it's over 800 pages, so I will be at for a while.

Mysterious Island by Jules Verne

I have to read a novel every once in a while to stay sane, and I really enjoyed "20,000 leagues under the sea", so I figured I'd give this one a go. I like it so far.

I've been reading Naked Lunch off and on for quite a while now. Really hard book to get into at times. And really graphic, definitely not for children.

Reading Bret Hart's book. I got it on my Birthday, and I can't put it down. It's amazing to look at his life from an early age and his start in Stu Hart's Stampede Wrestling which was also the beginning for Dynamite Kid,Davey Boy Smith, and Jim Neidhart. Where I am at this point, he's just started for the WWF, and is just starting out as pretty much a "jobber". The book is almost as thick as a phone book, but I like it when an Athlete's auto biography is very extensive because you get more details about their lives in and out of the spotlight.

 
I've been reading "10 things your pastor wants to tell you, but can't because he needs his job."

It's one pastor's interpretations/beliefs about the accuracy of the Bible, what is really right and wrong, what Jesus really taught and etc. Some of it seems a bit absurd, but some of it is valid enough and at any rate, it's a good book to get you thinking and not so set in your ways.
