Re-Reading Gears Of War: Aspho Fields by Karen Traviss.
and reading The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford by Ron Howard. They are both very incredible novels.

Agree wholeheartedly! I think that was a major part of the appeal for me.Though I embraced life's futility at an early age I have never quite been able to shake this damned sunny disposition!

I just picked up Exquisite Corpse:Surrealism and the Black Dahlia Murders.
The book ties the surrealist art movement and some of its biggest names in with the famous Murder.The art in this book alone makes it worth the price.

Yakuza: Japan's Criminal Underworld by David Kaplan. An awesome account of the history of this scourge of Japan.

Just finished Tsunimoy by Jeff Burk. Even more fun than Shatnerquake. You've definitely gotta check it out.

The Oxford History of the French Revolution by William Doyle. Pretty decent account of such an infamous revolution. Gets a little boggged down in details, but that is to be expected from a 400+ page book that is attempting to express such a convoluted event that would probably benefit from a 1000 or more pages. Ashe.

If you don't mind experimental language and some weirdness, I'd recommend my books Murderland part 1:h8 and Murderland 2:Life During Wartime. It's about a world where serial killers are the highest echelons of celebrity and the only hope for change is in the hands of a homicidal pharmacist.
Here's the link to part 1:

Roll the Bones: The History of Gambling by David G. Schwartz. Written with a slightly annoying comic edge, the core material so far seems pretty credible. i really like the concept that gambling's origins came from ancient of divination, where the ancients would roll dice/bones to predict the future, followed by maybe a friendly wager from a competing fortune-teller. Ashe.
