John Scalzi

Pleasantly surprised..
I picked this up on a whim. This book is not the type of sci-fi I read, but it sounded funny. I thoroughly enjoyed this book from the humor, the characters are a hoot and the story line flowed very nicely. If you have thought eh, maybe - give it a shot you will be ...

Brief Encounters with Che Guevara: Stories (P.S.)

Encounter Books, 2008

ESSENTIAL TOOL FOR YOUR BRAIN
IT IS VERY TROUBLING TO DISCOVER THAT 78 REVIEWS HAVE VANISHED. ACCESS TO INFORMATION SEEMS TO BE "MANAGED" AND THIS RAISES QUESTIONS ABOUT WHO IS DOING IT AND WHY? AT THIS POINT ALL I CAN DO IS TO RE-POST MY REVIEW OF MARCH 31, 2008 AND PROTEST THE ACTIONS OF ...

The Day After Roswell

Philip Corso

Pocket, 1998

Good Read for understanding what was gleaned in the "early" years
