What non-fiction have you enjoyed recently? I'm most of the way through pic related, and it's pretty good.

I've also recently read Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72 and The Half Has Never Been Told (both books that I think every American should read, although I take issue with the way the latter is written).

What else should I be reading?
>>
In Cold Blood by Truman Capote
The War for Late Night by Billy Carter
The Bible by God

I'm about 800 pages into The Decline and Fall of the Roman Meme.
Eh, bretty gud.
Can only remember like 1/10th of what has happened so far. Whenever I get to a church chapter my autism sense tingles delightfully.

Also read this recently. Pretty insightful as to how fucked up Mormons and especially Mormon Fundamentalists are.

Currently reading The Thirty Years War: Europe's Tragedy

Enjoying how autistic the attention to detail is.

This is a good read. Somewhat meme-worthy, though. But still a good account on H. H. Holmes and his fucked up shit.

It gets pretty autistic at times though when it comes to the amount of details it divulges to the building of the Columbian Fair. And it's especially autistic when it comes to Olmstead and his obsession for his gardens and shit.

To the Finland Station
A history of socialist thought from the French Revolution to the Russian Revolution. Interesting short biographical descriptions and discussions of the contributions of men like Lenin, Trotsky, Marx, Engels and earlier pioneers like Babeuf and Michelet. Written in the 1930's, he had a few appreciative words for what the National Socialists were doing for the workingmen in Germany. More critical of Trotsky than I expected. Interesting read.

Just finished this. Pretty disappointing. Maybe OK for someone totally unfamiliar with military robotics but I'm not. Also a bit out of date at this point.

I read that one too, and to me it looked like the author wanted to sperg out and write a book about the fair, but then the editor/agent/publisher told him to add the story of the murders to "make it sell". I could have done with either of those two books, not with an uneven mix of both
