Fur and Loafing in Yosemite by Phil Frank

The story of a family of bears in Yosemite National Park and how they deal with nature, campers and the National Park Staff. Very funny stuff. If you have ever been to Yosemite National Park, you will recognize a lot of what he’s poking fun at.

Funny even if you haven’t been there!

Monday Book Pick: A Hymn Before Battle

Tuesday, July 14th, 2009

A Hymn Before Battle by John Ringo

John Ringo’s first novel, and the first in his Posleen War Series, also know as the Legacy of Aldenata series. A ripping good yarn. It has back stabbing alien “allies”, really bad bad aliens, and ends with a massive battle on an alien planet.

Ya, I know it’s Tuesday. I’m late.

Monday Book Pick – Altered Carbon

Monday, July 6th, 2009

Altered Carbon by Richard K. Morgan

A delightful murder mystery wrapped in some really good SciFi. The hero, who really is not a nice man, finds himself back on Earth in a new body. A bit of suprise, since his last one was killed on another planet, involved in crimes that should have kept his consciousness in storage for quite a bit longer. It proceeds to get weird from there, but in a good way for the reader.
