BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE
Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

YourStarted "Guns, Germs, and Steel" yesterday. I've been wanting to read it for a while and finally decided to break it open.

I certainly have, though several years ago, back before I really started to understand them on a deeper level. It's on my list to revisit, but I don't think I currently have a copy.
Oh ho ho! Let me see if i can find mine!
If you do I'll trade you for it, or have it back to you within two weeks. I believe I loaned mine to a friend and it's been collecting dust on his shelf for two years or so.
Address please.
Awesome! I'm halfway through rereading the first book in the series. I think the second might be my favorite. The first three are all so good, though.After holdiays craziness I was finally able to finish Book 2, now onto Book 3
Enjoying this

Altered Carbon - Richard K. Morgan
"It's the twenty-fifth century, and advances in technology have redefined life itself. A person's consciousness can now be stored in the brain and downloaded into a new body (or "sleeve"), making death nothing more than a minor blip on a screen. Onetime U.N. Envoy Takeshi Kovacs has been killed before, but his last death was particularly painful. Resleeved into a body in Bay City (formerly San Francisco), Kovacs is thrown into the dark heart of a shady, far-reaching conspiracy that is vicious even by the standards of a society that treats existence as something that can be bought and sold. For Kovacs, the shell that blew a hole in his chest was only the beginning."

@VeLoRoK ,
Beneath the wheel is a very strange and complex book, but the simplest to understand on the surface. So much metaphor and symbollism i will reread that many times before I get it. Jy sister actually got me several Hesses as a late christmas present though, so if you would like your copy back id have no problem sending it, though it's currently on loan to a friend haha but he reads faster than I do.
