People's History of the United States downstairs, and I just finished The Drunkard's Walk upstairs. I want to read some fiction next, so it's either going to be the Dexter series of books (love that show) or the Yiddish Policeman's Union.

Has anyone ever read... The Secret Policeman's Other Ball?
I believe it was the first book written by a computer.
It understood sentence structure, but not vocabulary.
It was hilarious.
I'd like to find a copy; any ideas?Edit: I've been searching all afternoon, while watching football.
The only things I can find are a couple of books written by computers, neither was what I was looking for. The title that I remember has been linked to a series of benefit concerts. (That's definitely not what I read back in 1975.)Posted 2 years ago # -

"Dies the Fire: A Novel of the Change" S.M. Stirling

“Hoplophobia is a mental disturbance characterized by irrational aversion to weapons, as opposed to justified apprehension about those who may wield them.”

I did enjoy S.M. Stirligns Change series.
Right now I'm going through:
Demons, by Fyodor Dostoevsky. (About 500 pages in and all I've met has been character development. Oh those Russians...)
Gravity's Rainbow, by Thomas Pynchon. (Interesting in a strange way, its confusing but at the same time it makes sense.)

I have a Sony Reader that I carry with me pretty much all of the time. I tend to be reading more than one book at a time, alternating between them depending upon my mood and how much time I have to sit and read at a given stop.
At the moment I am reading (re-reading) Atlas Shrugged, Benjamin Franklin's autobiography, and piece of entertaining science fiction by David Drake entitled The Seas Of Venus.

I am currently rereading Sun Tzu's "The Art of War".
@Thomc80: I agree with you 100% on Lovecraft short stories. I have dozens of paperback collections of his short stories and novels and they never ever ever get old. He was a master at creating fantasy worlds. Not many guys can make up a completely otherworldly setting complete with history, language, culture etc. in a 10 page story. And his writing has a way of sucking me right into the world he has created in text to the point of being able to feel the humidity, smell the air, feel the mentality of the culture...etc.
