Right now, I'm reading "From Lenin to Ben Laden : The Great Revolt against Mordernism" from Pierre Clermont. It's a quite interesting one. Though I'm not sure it's been translated in English.

BOB DYLAN'S ROCKIN OUT!
Catch-22 is about a bomber pilot in Italy in World War II named Yosarrian. He is the main character but there is alot of stuff about his fellow soldiers, superiors, priests, etc. And they're all pretty insane.
Basically, its a whole bunch of crazy people in a war.

Warrior Race by Lawrence James. Packed with excellent anecdotes and insights on the British Isles at war. Falls down a little on his take on the British peoples attitude to war during the 17th and 18th century where he relies on government propaganda and military ditties to support his view rather than on sources who were attempting to document the oral history of Britain at the time.

Just finished Thousand Orcs --good ol Drizzt. Just started Fellowship of the Ring for I'm not sure what time.
Aside from the New York Times print edition, Time, Newsweek, US News & World Report, this forum, and bunch of stuff for classes....just got Lies and the Lying Liars That Tell Them by Franken. If nothing else, it's interesting. Saw a few other books that looked interesting (hell, I might even read Treason for the hell of it)...but I wanted to make sure I had money for other purposes right now.
Anyone got suggestions for other satire/political books? Haven't updated my lookout lists in a while.

I read tons of books, I can't be bothered to keep track 
As far as news goes, I read The Economist regularly, the New York Times intermittently, the Guardian very rarely [I like British newspapers - the Americans are too brash for my taste. Plus, the Economist is just my sense of humor
]. I watch PBS and CSPAN. I read this board and a few left-leaning political linkfests [www.thismodernworld.com is particularly good if you don't mind the pretty extreme bias]. I also keep an eye on the Yahoo! News website.

I read Treason, Yankee, and it was even more deranged then I exspected.
So maybe I can have a good laugh. But with that statement, I may buy a used Treason...

I read a borrowed-from-the-library Treason.
