God Emperor of Dune by Frank Herbert
Black Sun by Edward Abbey
An Anthropologist On Mars by Oliver Sacks

I'm still working on God Emperor of Dune... I love the Dune series but by the time you get to this one, which is the fourth book, you're kind of treading on well-worn ground and so I haven't got that rush of 'oh, man! I gotta see what happens!' with this one, unlike the others.

I give Black Sun very high recommendation. I love Ed Abbey. Everyone should at least sample an Abbey book once in their life.

An Anthropologist On Mars is non-fiction. Its basically 7 case studies on people who by one way or another (disease or accident) have brains that see the world in vastly different ways than most people. As an artist, I found it incredibly inspiring.

I'm starting on Red Harvest by Dashiel Hammet.

My girlfriend is Andrea.

p.s. dig the new icon.

God Emperor is crazy cool. It's just so intense and I personally had to keep reading it. Maybe not what was happening but how it was written or something. I couldn't put it down.
