Dragon by Clive Cussler

I have read most of his books and he's definately my favorite author. I don't read fiction much, so I haven't really read much else except some Michael Crichton novels.

i just finished reading slaughterhouse 5. i guess it was pretty good. it's a high school standard in america right? like you have to read it when for literature class? im just wondering how is it anti-war, is it because the author gets crazy, thinking about aliens and stuff?

the novel has a sort of truth behind it right, like Vonnegut did serve the war? and got a little bit crazy?

anyway im reading zen and the art of motorcycle maintanence now. that is pretty intense.. i can't understand everything yet

IMHO the BEST Cussler book ever written. The plot is incredible and keeps you gripped from beginning to end. I read about 5 or 6 of his books and loved the adventures of that Dirk Pitt character Cussler developed in his books. Great reading!

Dr. William Glasser's Choice Theory.

I just finished reading Glasser's Warning: Psychiatry Can Be Hazardous to Your Mental Health

Very good read, especially the chapter with Al Seiber's experience (ch. 13 I believe). Seiber was a doctor that was diagnosed with a mental illness because he had a hypothesis that went against conventional psychiatry. The doctors couldn't understand him so as a stress reflex, they labeled him with a mental illness. Very interesting how psychiatrists (in general) are so quick to make a serious judgment like that.

What I like about Glasser is that he puts things in laymens terms.

Neil Stephenson - Cryptonomicon. the story isn't really going anywhere yet (hardly started, only at about 300 pages

) but it's just loads of fun to read! doesn't have the ultra-coolness of Snow Crash, but a great read so far. highly recommend this author.

It's a study in life values by analogy to motorcycle maintenance by a guy who is taking a road trip with his adolescent son who is showing signs of insanity the father recognizes from earlier in his own life. Very good book.
