    Is that the Bernie Sanders signed copy you've been bragging about in the PWT for weeks now?

    Almost forgot, reread "Swiss Family Robinson" before "Lights Out". Not as enjoyable as an adult as it was as a kid.

    Definitely. It's rather too fanciful for an adult to take seriously.

    10 ring. They saw and did it all.

    Still a classic though. Added it and "Treasure Island" to the minions reading list for January.

    Marko Kloos - his "Frontline" series is a pretty good military science fiction read.
    To their credit, the NSA is the only agency of government that listens to the American people.

    Freehold by Michael Z Williamson. I'm sure some folks here have read it already, but it's a science fiction novel about a planet basically ran by libertarian ideals. Which of course pisses off the Earth "United Federation of Planets" statist government to no end, so they attack and try to hold the planet, since how dare anyone try to rule themselves! The war is fought with .. well, give it a read, I'm sure you'll love it. I just gave a copy to a member here as a Christmas gift.
    Of course, this is book one in a series.
    If anyone does the facebook thing, send a friend request to the author. He'll gladly respond, assuming he's not locked out of his account again for telling the FB admin nazi's what they can do with themselves with rusty farm implements, etc., all the while causing mayhem.

    I've about a quarter of the way through 1984. I'm not sure how I've managed to go this long without having read it.

    Finished "Lights Out" and "Patriots" recently.

    Enjoyed both, particularly "Lights Out".

    "Freehold" Chad mentioned above looks interesting.
