Novel: ''Trojan Odyssey''
by Clive Cussler
|
|
Published: 2003; Pages: 485; Rating: Good
Dirk Pitt rides again as he and Al Giordino gallop off into the sunrise of ancient lands and adventures with exotic women. Long legged women too. I think the first Dirk Pitt novel I ever read was “Raise The Titanic” which was an excellent book full of history regarding the ship sunk in 1912. I call these books Dirk Pitt novels although they are written by Clive Cussler. Dirk just happens to be his recurring character and action hero that flogs the bad guys and wins the women in each book. Al Giordino is his trusty sidekick (like Poncho with the Cisco Kid) and does the blocking for Dirk when he is carrying the ball.

“Bottle” Walker. People around Kerens have the darndest nicknames don’t they? (Is “darndest” a word?) Where in the world would you get a nickname like that anyway? You might at first think it came from a bottle or brand of whiskey if you did not know any better. But nope, that’s not it. Not by a long shot.

History: ''Gods and Generals''
by Jeff Shaara
|
|
Published: 1996; Pages: 498; Rating: Good
Gods and Generals is the sequel to “Gone For Soldiers” and the prequel to the Pulitzer prize winning novel, “Killer Angels.” The former being about the Mexican War that preceded the Civil War and described the various Civil War generals as young men as they were first coming out of their respective military academies. The latter being about Gettysburg. Everytime I see, hear, or write the word “Gettysburg” small shiver and sharp memories run down my legs. If you have never been to the Gettysburg battleground or have never read your history about this battle, it is simply a must do thing.

This is a real old book I read a long long time ago in a land far away and just pulled it down out of the library again. Not sure why, except real good hard science fiction is a bit rare, and this is one of the old classics. You have to really wander around a Barnes and Nobles for several hours these days to find a jewel like this one. It seems more authors tend to churn out many more books in the "fantasy" category these days than in the true vein of science fiction. When you think about it for a minute, maybe it is because science fiction is based upon science and therefore requires some knowledge of science? Where as the requirement for fantasy is to purely have an imagination that can create monsters with horns and far off planets with Amazonian women that rule galaxies with amazing bodies and mind control.

 To lose weight, eat less; to gain weight, eat more; if you merely
wish to maintain, do whatever you were doing.
The Bronx diet is a legitimate system of food therapy showing that
food SHOULD be used a crutch and which food could be the most effective in
promoting spiritual and emotional satisfaction. For the first time, an
eater could instantly grasp the connection between relieving depression and
Mallomars, and understand why a lover's quarrel isn't so bad if there's a
pint of ice cream nearby.
-- Richard Smith, "The Bronx Diet"
