recommend some books to me.

We seem to have very (eerily?) similar tastes in fiction.  I trust your recommendations a lot.

Man, I have not read a new good book in a long time. I am currently rereading "Soldiers of Fortune" by Sir John Glubb (non fiction) and the Barnam Museum collection by Steven Millhauser, which is probably my fave collection of short stories. I would strongly recommend the latter.

I'm reading Foucualt's Pendulum now. I'm about halfway through and it has an odd pace. Pretty good, though.

How great are the abulafia cutaways? Also, I highly recommend rereading the opening once you finish. It's virtually incomprehensible as a cold start.

Side note: I had a Comte de St Germain sock on ksf at one point that I used for "everybody hates kstate" conspiracies. it was not very popular.

Do you get to request books in prison or will they just roll that cart to your cell and let you pick one off the pile?

T's & P's btw, I know a good defense lawyer in Manhattan but I'm guessing you are past that point.
