Robert V.S. Reddick's The Red Wolf Conspiracy, because noone can be done with awesome fiction.

I'm loaded up on Skram and Dostojevskij as well as uncle tom's cabin and the great gatsby, that should be enough fiction for one summer(my reading cycle goes fiction/nonfiction/fiction/nonfiction and so on).

Also, I despise fantasy in all its forms.

[Greyblades]

All writings are fantasy to some degree, and I find that if you have a genre you can't get enjoyment out of, it's usually because you havent found the right example yet.

W.H. McNeill's The Pursuit of Power: Technology, Armed Force, and Society since A.D. 1000

I disagree. Having read this with much difficulty, its a hard read even for me, who devours military history books. More like a monograph than anything else.

I simply loved his turn on economics and the varying degrees of centralized control over time/culture. Some useful insights there. Thought it was a dense read, but not too tough to enjoy/make the connections.

I recommend this in every book-thread, http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...ouse_of_Leaves it certainly isn't cheap but there isn't anything like it, it's an experiment in how far typography can go, some pages have only a few words, it's truly a descent into total madness like no other.
