Off Armegeddon Reef - David Weber

3/5

Interesting idea - Earth is killed off and a last colony of humans are sent to another planet but literally the fear of god is put into them against developing technology for fear of the aliens getting to the planet.

Turns out a loan pica (cyborg) is set to wake up after 800 years and tell the people the truth. This doesn't really happen though. There are a bunch of interesting wars going on in old school naval battle style - but no real progress is made towards fighting off the aliens or getting back to earth, etc. I assume there must be sequels, but I wouldn't be interested enough to read them. Don't think I'll read Weber again.

Tom Robbins - Half Asleep in Frog Pajamas

DNF....

Just couldn't do it, written in the second person. I am a 20 something chica who is interested only in the stock market and making a buck. Really annoying and drawn out. Didn't feel compelled to continue reading and just really didn't care about anyone in the book or the book itself. Pass.

Fight Club - Chuck Palahniuk

5/5 - Pretty much the exact same as the movie. Similar narration, characters kinda f'd up and so on. A few differences, Marla's mom gets made into soap... small things. Overall fast and good. Crazyness with the internal monologue. Intro Palahniuk talks about this as a love story, sort of. Would read again and recommend. Ends up in the mental institution... and it looks like Tyler is still around.

Star Strike - Ian Doglas

5/5 Aweseom military sci fi. Now we're chasing the Xul in the future. He keeps coming up with great ways for our slow culture to kill these folks. Looks like we found some friend to help us fight to. Will absoulutely read the next one.

Tim Dorsey - Hammerhead Ranch Motel

4/5 

Entertaining read, mostly forgettable. 5 million in cash is lost and they're trying to get it back. Serge is back and we also meet Lenny, one of his buddies. Hillarity insues. Rediculous situations, just lots of fun. Will continue reading his books. Fun for fluff reading.

Basket Case - Carl Hiaasen

4/5

Mystery novel - reporter investigating a potential murder of a singer. Good for a one read. Entertaining protagonist, nothing groundbreaking, but a fun quick read. Probably as good as mystery novels get, just not as much my style.

Tim Dorsey - Atomic Lobster

5/5 Crazy weak plot, more of an excuse to throw a bunch of random characters together. Mainly a bad guy gets out of prison hunting down the guy who put him there. Crazy Serge Storms is the friend everyone should have and kills only those who deserve it.

Would definitely read again and will continue with more of Dorsey's books
