Insert usual dismay at posting procrastination<\/i><\/p>\n
097. I Should Have Seen It Coming When the Rabbit Died<\/a> – Teresa Bloomingdale (09\/13\/2004)<\/p>\n This is one of many we picked up at a library book sale. I'd read this book an eon ago when I was a kid, and it's still as funny as it was. It was a little annoying though, with the author's smug assumption that people without children can't possibly really<\/i> be happy.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n 098. Red Dragon<\/a> – Thomas Harris (09\/15\/2004) Basically these are serial-killer thrillers. I love these, and I'd just as soon not know why. Red Dragon was good, though a little disappointing. I thought it would be more about Dr. Lecter, but he was only a side character. Silence of the Lambs was great – I had actually never read it, or seen the movie. I read Hannibal earlier this year, and I liked it quite a bit. Dr. Lecter is really a fascinating and likeable man, aside from the whole killing and eating people thing. Still, we all have our faults.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n 100. The Cat Who Knew a Cardinal<\/a> – Lillian Jackson Braun (09\/20\/2004) Man plays god again and releases nanobots that learn and evolve.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n 106. Heroics For Beginners<\/a> – John Moore (09\/27\/2004)<\/p>\n Funny<\/i> fantasy hero book. I “heard” the entire book in Princess Bride voices.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n 107. Dirty Dozen<\/a> – E. M. Nathanson (10\/02\/2004)<\/p>\n Fantastic WW2 novel – take a bunch of death-row prisoners and make them into a fighting force. Whose side will they be on?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n 108. Dancing Barefoot<\/a> – Wil Wheaton (10\/10\/2004) Another great read by Margaret Atwood. She's rapidly climbing my list of favorite authors.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n 110. Starship Troopers<\/a> – Robert Heinlein (10\/17\/2004)<\/p>\n This is one of my favorite Heinlein books. I read it this time because I was loaning it to a co-worker who had just seen the movie<\/a> and hadn't read the book. This also prompted me to rent the movie again – it's still horrible. I was able to enjoy it a little more this time as a mindless sci-fi flick, but it definitely is not<\/i> Heinlein's vision. Though, judging from the trailers, I think that I, Robot<\/a> is going to take ST's place as Worst Movie Adaptation Ever.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n 111. Just a Geek<\/a> – Wil Wheaton (10\/18\/2004)<\/p>\n Wil Wheaton is an incredibly nice guy and funny as hell. If you don't read his blog<\/a>, you should. I've been reading it off and on for a while now and I'd have to say he's one of my favorite bloggers.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
