Monday Book Pick – PsychoShop
Psychoshop, by Alfred Bester and Roger Zelazny
Roger Zelazny finished a manuscript that Bester didn’t complete before his death. The result is an interesting blend of the two writer’s styles complete with really well written fight scenes (Zelazny was an Aikido instructor for years).
Tax Day Tea Party Signs
Two sources of images for Tax Day Tea Party signs, MarshBaby & Simon Jester.
For those of you who are not SciFi fans, Simon Jester is reference to Robert Heinlein’s classic The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, which was the Monday Book pick on January 26, 2009.
2018 update: Both the sites referenced are no longer valid.
Monday Book Pick – Uller Uprising
Uller Uprising, by the late H. Beam Piper
A brillian SciFi telling of the Sepoy Rebellion. Set early in Piper’s Future History series timeline, this is a solid bit of adventure/Military Science Fiction. For you Military SciFi fans, there is character, only mentioned once, named “Major Falkenberg” of Falkenberg’s Rifles.

The New Thought Police: Inside the Left’s Assault on Free Speech and Free Minds by Tammy Bruce and Laura C. Schlessinger
Tammy Bruce is a classic Liberal, not a leftist. A very important distinction these days. Unlike the far left extremists that have hijacked the democrat party, Classic Liberals are defenders of Free Speech.
