Cthulhu stories by the guy who wrote Conan. Hm.

Ooooh. Scary.

Cool story about secret societies.

In an obvious ploy to pull in a certain sort of reader, this book features a fantasy role-playing game that becomes real. I guess I was that sort of reader, because I remember enjoying it immensely.

For someone who generally doesn’t like Heinlein, I sure read a lot of him.

Cypherpunk. I think it was pretty good.

Glassner debunks many of our more pervasive scares like crime, drugs, school shootings, etc. and shows the actual danger from those “threats” has been greatly exaggerated by the media and politicians leaving other, actual problems with little attention. A rather sobering and depressing book.

A short little work exploring, from a philosophical perspective, the possible differences between human minds and other possible minds, including the minds of other creatures on the planet. Dennett provides lot of good references for further reading.

Yes, I read a book called SuperTanks. Actually, a collection of short stores all about tanks, so there. And not even one Amazon review!

Stoll’s fascinating story of catching a computer cracker.
