LZR-1143: Infection by Bryan James

Pretty darn good for an unheard of author for 99 cents, particularly if you like Zombies.

Just finished reading Noam Chomsky's book on how the power-that-be use propaganda to control populations, Media Control, Second Edition. Powerful and thought-provoking. 3½ out of 5 stars.

Also finished the Nov. 19, 2011 issue of Science News. Some highlights: How lopsided arrangements of continents may have led to reversals in Earth's magnetic field in the past, new uses for saliva in medical diagnoses, dietary concerns for Mars-bound astronauts, how to make male flies horny (turn-ons: food), 2011 ozone loss in the Arctic "unprecedented", mind-reading machines grow yet more sophisticated, and how some black holes may be used as "standard candles" for measuring cosmological distances.

It's not Stitchawl reading the pbooks, it's pdurrant. I think pdurrant owes us each a pint of British real ale.

But I'd settle for a Hobgoblin

My virtual presence, the Elf, thanks you. It is a bit early in the day here, but what the heck I've been good.

I just finished Our Bones Are Scattered: The Cawnpore Massacres and The Indian Mutiny Of 1857 by Andrew Ward. I love detailed historical accounts of relatively unknown history like this. It was well written and obviously a lot of research went into it in the form of collecting historical documentation.

Looking back at it is a reminder of just how brutal war was at that time, and of the prevailing attitudes of those of European descent towards other races (after all it it would be almost a decade later before slavery was ended in the US). From today's perspective though it is impossible not to feel more sympathy for the Indian mutineers than for the British. After all the British were even more savage and killed more in response to the mutiny than did the mutineers. That and looking back now one can ask what right did the British have to be there anyway? Not to mention the British racism and their attempts to shove Christianity down the throats of a people that already had at least three established and at least equally valid religions.

Well said. And for me, from my vantage point in the Pacific Northwest (born and raised Portlander), Burke takes me on an insightful visit to another another country and culture. I haven't been reading the Robicheaux books in chronological order, but I don't feel like I'm missing much by not doing so. Burke weaves in background deftly for a series author.

I recommend Burke for most any reader. I don't read a lot of police mystery (nothing against them, mind you) but I thoroughly enjoy this.

I finished Haruki Murakami's Sputnick Sweethearty. I can already see Murakami's themes in just reading two books. Entertaining and interesting, but I know it would annoy people that like tidy endings.

Now I'm off to a mystery with Agatha Christie's The Mysterious Affair at Styles.
