it's funny the different cultural contexts of language, in the U.S. "hurling" is colloquial for vomiting

Language is such a beast! Very funny, greenjeans. Thank you.

Myself i'm currently re-reading the Lensman series by Dr. E.E. Smith, the original and still greatest space opera, and still wondering why the people in Hollywood have not made movies from it yet, it would be truly epic.

I just started to read The Epic Origins of Hurling. I'm Spanish and love hurling.

Narcotopia, Patrick Winn... just got this one, it's about the golden triangle and the drug manufacturing trade there.

The Myth Of Normal, Gabor Mate'. About trauma and recovery and culture.

Finished recently:lords of uncreation by A.Chaikovsky. Mostly boring but the last 100 pages was slightly intresting.

I just got a copy of Hacking Exposed, Linux 3rd edition.
600 pages, ...

I thought I should share, this book edition was published in 2008, so it's not that current...

Kernel 2.4, netfilter, iptables (no nftables) and many of the links are old as well.

just a heads-up... it's quite expensive for a history story.

I just finish Ephraim Mattos' book, City Of Death.

A great story of Humanitarian Warriors.

I found it difficult to put it down.

Something called "Quantum Radio". First half was intresting. But after that it started to remind me of some SG1 episodes i have watched before. Boring.

Blood Money by Peter Schweizer. It was just released late last month. I'm going to try to get my local library to order a copy.

I ordered used copies of two of his older books yesterday. I'll read those while I'm waiting for my library to purchase a copy of his latest book.

Currently reading short story "Hail and Farewell" by Ray Bradbury.
Not in the mood for that kind of stuff this week.
I heard about something called "House of whispers" which has something to do with Neil Gaiman. That seems more intresting. Maybe some day.

most of these are not for the faint of heart.
