I just finished William Gibson Zero History, the last of the Bigend storyline (pattern recognition - spook country - zero history).  my favorite of his so far.

I have Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep waiting to go.

I'm a real sucker for Nordic Noir...
Scandinavian mystery novels, if you will...
I feel like our friends in the North have a good grasp on dark and enigmatic characters.
I'm currently in the midst of the "Harry Hole" novels by Jo Nesbo. I know, it's a TERRIBLE name for a character... but the books are great.

In the middle of Phantom, glad you told me about them.  They have a different tilt or feel which I like, although the fart doctor was a waste of time.

The Sun Also Rises, Mr. Hemingway 

It is good, and while i do normally really like his writing style & work, this is my first time reading it & I am not enjoying it as much as others... great Hemingway style, but not a huge fan of the character interactions in this one...

Kinzua: From Cornplanter to the Corps   by William Hoover

a book about the white man screwing the Seneca Indians to build a dam in the middle of nowhere (my favorite place in the world)

An OK book but limited on perspective.

I like his reference to Schwarzenegger, "Terminatus Strudelhead," and Larry King, "Flatulus Suspenderus."

Another good one of his is "A Time for War"

It's all in the grind, Sizemore. Can't be too fine, can't be too coarse. This, my friend, is a science. I mean you're looking at the guy that believed all the commercials. You know, about the "be all you can be." I made coffee through Desert Storm. I made coffee through Panama while everyone else got to fight, got to be a Ranger.

Re-reading Puck of Pooks Hill by Kipling.  I like the perspective of British History told through the story.
