Also reading a Clancy Classic - "Without Remorse".
There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the universe is for it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened.

Now reading Old Man's War by John Scalzi. So far it's a brilliant book - sciency but not too much, with Scalzi's dry humor on most pages - and a story (75-year old man who joins an interstellar army and gets a new body) that is fast-paced and interesting.

Going back to Terry Pratchett. I restarted the whole cycle.
Murphy's Law says, "Whatever can go wrong, will, and when you least expect it." (And, of course, we all know that Murphy was an aviator.)

FInished Fourth Crisis: The Battle for Taiwan by Peter Bleichert. It's a forgettable book - reads like a movie script for a Michael Bay movie and has just about as much character development as these movies.
Now reading Heavy Weather by Wodehouse.

Gonna check out the Dune series again. It's been ages since I read the whole lot, should keep me busy til Spring!
Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty. This is known as "bad luck.” -Robert Heinlein
