Scott is 34% done with Becoming Human (Exilon 5 #1)

Interesting enough I guess. Traditional sci-fi in that it focuses extensively (exhaustively?) on the "other."

Scott is on page 88 of 424 of Railsea

Really unlike anything I've ever read. Fascinating... but I'm not entirely sure yet if I like it...?

Scott is on page 50 of 337 of Unwind (Unwind, #1)

YAYA... yet another YA novel. Hopefully it picks up soon.

Scott is on page 35 of 480 of The Unseen War: Allied Air Power and the Takedown of Saddam Hussein

If this guy makes one more nauseating neo-con appeal to the wisdom of the architects of the Iraq War (and he really is lauding the second Iraq War) then I'm done.

Scott is on page 200 of 453 of Catch-22

I've started this book many times, but always stalled out about 20 pages in. It is only by willful perseverance that I've made it this far this time. I don't see what all the fuss is about.

Scott is on page 30 of 256 of The Art of Significance: Achieving the Level Beyond Success

Obviously written by someone whose job it is to sell nothing to people desperate for something. If it doesn't start saying something substantive soon I'm done.

The Art of Significance: Achieving the Level Beyond Success

Scott is on page 100 of 308 of The Eye of Minds (The Mortality Doctrine, #1)

YA should come with a warning label. Ugh. Here I was expecting sci-fi and I get sophomoric schlock... if it doesn't pick up soon I'm done.

The Eye of Minds (The Mortality Doctrine, #1)

Scott is on page 350 of 531 of Allegiant (Divergent, #3)

Maybe the worst book I've ever read. I'm only going to finish it so I feel justified in writing a scathingly negative review.

Scott is on page 80 of 256 of The Sovereignty Solution: A Common Sense Approach to Global Security

Great quote: "Declarations of War appear to be the proven method for reaching political objectives through military means. When Congress has issued them, the United States has succeeded in war. When Congress has not, the United States has reached inconclusive end states at best."

Get to the point already... getting kind of sick of hearing about teenage girl drama

A lot of corporate speak thus far.

Plodding along. Non-fiction is just so boring to me...

Scott is on page 288 of 592 of The Dead Hand: The Untold Story of the Cold War Arms Race and its Dangerous Legacy

Dry, dry, dry, intermixed with occasionally fascinating sections (stuff about Aldrich Ames and Robert Hanssen). Overall interesting information, but presented in a way that invariably puts me to sleep. I'm going to soldier on.

Scott is 66% done with Divergent (Divergent, #1)

ERMAHGERD THE ROMANCE IS SO DUMB... the actual story is not bad though. I might be done with "16 year old girl saves the world" stories after this one. (yeah right, who can resist?)
