The Guns of August by Barbara Tuchman (1962). Simply one of the greatest books describing the events of the first month of the Four Years War, WWI. Ashe.

After reading Blaze, Lisey's Story, Salem's Lot, and Duma Key (catching up on some Stephen King!), I am now reading Dweller by Jeff Strand.

The British Museum is Falling Down - A satyrical book about Roman Catholocism and "The Pill". Book was written in the mid 60's when that was one of the biggest topics of conversation at the time. I found it wadded up under the seat of my '67 MG (British book wadded up in a British car seems ironic and funny to me). It's completely funky and smells weird, but dammit, the book is good! And funny!
Brave New World - Aldous Huxley - A classic book written in '32 (if I'm not mistaken) about how the world would look centuries ahead of time if the world continued down the same path it was going at the time. Sadly, the book is freakishly true and completely relates to modern society.

Thank you! I'm proud to announce first of all that both books have been nominated by Bizarrocentral members for the Wonderland Award, the award for excellence in Bizarro fiction. I'll find out in November if either Matt or I took our category. I'm working on a sequel to Archelon Ranch, which I at first thought would be impossible but it's coming along pretty nicely. I hope to have it done by the end of the month. And why not? Only 32,000 words to go! Sigh.

The Franco-Prussian War (2003) by Geoffrey Wawro. This little gem of history presents the war whose outcome set up Europe for the calamity that was to be the Great War.
