I am reading the graphic novel 'The Kingdom', which is the based on the world found in 'Kingdom Come'. Very interesting take on an alternate version of the DC universe.:smile:

I've read almost everything he's published. The King Arthur series is particularly good. All his books are page turners.

I think I may have missed 1 or 2 Sharpe novels as I lost track a bit after he finished the original series with Waterloo. As you know he inserted novels post "Waterloo". Sharpe Rules. I love Harper's character...

"God Save Ireland... Sir...pass me your pack!" (When he found the gems in an abandoned carriage.

"God Save Ireland... Sir...give me the deck gun!" At Hugomont

Great STUFF!

I found a book by a guy that seems to be on the ball. Usually I suspect "experts" but this guy makes a lot of sense.

Product Description- Speaking of Empire and Resistance
A leading political writer and activist speaks out on the crisis in the Middle East, the war on terror, and the resurgent militarism of the American Empire.
Exiled from Pakistan in the 1960s for his activism against the military dictatorship, Tariq Ali has gained a reputation as one of the English-speaking world's most forceful political thinkers, speaking out consistently against imperialism, religious fundamentalism, and, most recently, the misguided Anglo-American war on terror, including the disastrous fiasco in Iraq.
Ali's most recent books, The Clash of Fundamentalisms and Bush in Babylon, have been widely praised and read. A prolific and eloquent writer, Ali is also a captivating conversationalist, and Speaking of Empire and Resistance captures him at his provocative best. This series of interviews brings together Ali's insights into a wide range of topics—among them the fate of modern-day Pakistan, the occupation of Afghanistan and Iraq, the intractable Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the state of the Islamic world, and the continuing significance of imperialism in the twenty-first century. Speaking of Empire and Resistance reinforces Tariq Ali's reputation as one of the most perceptive and engaging figures of today's Left.
About the Author
Tariq Ali is an editor of New Left Review, a novelist, a playwright, a filmmaker, and the author of more than a dozen books on world history and politics. He lives in London. David Barsamian is the founder and director of the Alternative Radio program, which is based in Boulder, Colorado.

I just finished "the road" about a journey a man and his son take in post apocolyptic America- No civilization, the entire country looted,starvation,except for the rampant cannabalism, and a nice nuclear winter thrown in for good measure. Very distubing, but a page turner.

Cormac is a heck of a writer.
No Country made a pretty good flick too.

I am slogging through:
Maximum City.
The Living Cosmos.
and Freakanomics.

Freakanomics.

A cool read.
