What I haven't been reading
1. Taxi: A Social History of the New York Cabdriver, by Graham Hodges, 44 out of 240 pp.
2. Kim MacQuarrie, The Last Days of the Incas, 169 out of 522 pp., it is actually quite good.
3. Kiwis Might Fly, by Polly Evans, 1 out of 310 pp.
4. Gold: The Once and Future Money, by Nathan Lewis, 13 out of 447 pp., some of you will love it.
5. Cosmonaut Keep, by Ken MacLeod, 77 out of 352 pp., sorry guys.

I used to discuss gold and some other topics with Nathan Lewis in
an online forum. I wasn't particularly impressed with him, personally.
Kind of rude and didn't seem to have a very good grasp of some basic
economic concepts.

I just got back from Machu Picchu a couple of days ago. Would you recommend the MacQuarrie book or Prescott's classic in terms of following Pizarro and his conquest?

MacQuarrie is more accurate...

I started reading the Taxi book, but it was so unpleasant and poorly written I had to put it down. I read it between Assault on Reason and Old Man's War, in fact which were both very enjoyable. Old Man's War pissed me off because I wasted so much time reading other books before this one. Maybe the greatest science fiction book I've ever read.

Do you finish all of the books that you start?
