Subject: RE: BS: Books you regret reading once
You might best avoid anything by O'Reilly, Hannity, Coulter, or the Limbaughs (either of them).

I've been a little put off by the latest Clive Cussler and Tom Clancy books; good for a waste of time, but they're leaving me irritated by unbelievable plots and characters, and stuff that just ain't right (Cussler has some stoopid cruise ship with a round superstructure in one book; I'd really like to see how they docked that thing).

But fiction (and "The Fountainhead" is such; despite the hallucinations of the libertarian/"objectivist" crew that it is revealed Truth) is something I generally avoid unless I'm on vacation and want to put the mental gears in neutral ... which accounts for the Cussler and Clancy indulgences....

Cheers,
