I prefer the book that came after Glass castles.  I believe it was called 
wild horses?;

Right now I am reading a book from Bard called blood and ice, about people 
who must get turned into vampires at some point, though that word is never 
used,  that are chained together and thrown overboard from a ship at the 
south pole in 1856, and are found and brought back to life by divers in our 
time at an American research station.  Totally escapist fiction, but fun 
anyway!  The book is following parallel lines between the 1850s and now 
describing how they met and got into this mess, and what is happening now.
No idea where it will all end.  This is one of the commercially recorded 
audio books done by Amazon.

Here's another one, but this is not in the same vein as those you have 
recommended.
DB-Carr, Nicholas-The Shallows- What the Internet Is Doing to Our
Brains-DB74072
And before I am accused of being a neo luddite (<grin>) give it a shot. It 
is an interesting and thought provoking book. Loads of good science on the 
brain for the layperson. Don't let "science" and "the brain" detour you from 
this. Science isn't my gig, and in college I stayed as far away from those 
subjects as I could. This is well -written, interesting and understandable.
We blinks even get a few paragraphs regards the brain's adapting itself 
(reconfiguring would be closer) after sight loss.

Hi,
Here's something to do on these hot days of summer. These are books that are 
tech related and a thrill to read.
These 3 books are currently available for download via BARD.

events occur around the world. Former government analyst Jeff Aiken fears 
these cyberterrorism attacks are just the beginning.
Some strong language and some explicit descriptions of sex. 2011.
Zero Day, DB73939

2.
Daemon
Suarez, Daniel. Read by John Polk. Reading time 18 hours 6 minutes.
Suspense

Violence, some strong language, and some descriptions of sex. 2010.
Freedom (TM), DB71118


I've read all three of these books and they are excellent. Both authors have 
books soon to be released. Mark Russinovich has a new book scheduled to be 
released in September called "Trojan Horse: " here's a brief description.
   Publication Date: September 4, 2012
It's two years post-Zero Day, and former government analyst Jeff Aiken is 
reaping the rewards for crippling al-Qaida's attack on the computer 
infrastructure of the Western world.  His cyber - security company is 
flourishing, and his relationship with Daryl Haugen intensifies when she 
becomes a part of his team.

But the West is under the East's greatest threat yet. The Stuxnet virus that 
successfully subverted Iran's nuclear defense program for years is being 
rapidly identified and defeated, and Stuxnet's creators are stressed to 
develop a successor.  As Jeff and Daryl struggle to stay together, they're 
summoned to disarm the attack of a revolutionary, invisible trojan that 
alters data without leaving a trace.  As the trojan penetrates Western 
intelligence, the terrifying truth about Iran is revealed, and Jeff and 
Daryl find themselves running a desperate race against time to reverse it - 
while the fate of both East and West hangs in the balance.

Like Zero Day, Trojan Horse is a thrilling suspense story, a sober warning 
from one of the world's leading experts on cyber-security, Microsoft's 
Technology Fellow, Mark Russinovich.  Trojan Horse demystifies the 
dangerously realistic threat of a cyber-terrorism attack on the Western 
world, while chronicling the lengths through which one man and will go to 
stop it.

The new book from Daniel Suarez, "Kill Decision"
Publication Date: July 19, 2012
The shocking techno-thriller that cements Daniel Suarez's status as the heir 
to Michael Crichton and Tom Clancy-a terrifying, breathtaking, and 
all-too-plausible vision of the world's near future.

Unmanned weaponized drones already exist-they're widely used by America in 
our war efforts in the Middle East. In Kill Decision, bestselling author 
Daniel Suarez takes that fact and the real science behind it one step 
further, with frightening results.

Linda McKinney is a myrmecologist, a scientist who studies the social 
structure of ants. Her academic career has left her entirely unprepared for 
the day her sophisticated research is conscripted by unknown forces to help 
run an unmanned-and thanks to her research, automated-drone army. Odin is 
the secretive Special Ops soldier with a unique insight into the faceless 
enemy who has begun to attack the American homeland with drones programmed 
to seek, identify, and execute targets without human intervention.

Together, McKinney and Odin must slow this advance long enough for the world 
to recognize its destructive power, because for thousands of years the "kill 
decision" during battle has remained in the hands of humans-and off-loading 
that responsibility to machines will bring unintended, possibly 
irreversible, consequences. But as forces even McKinney and Odin don't 
understand begin to gather, and death rains down from above, it may already 
be too late to save humankind from destruction at the hands of our own 
technology.

As of today, these two new books are only available in an electronic format 
via kindle and text to speech is enabled for both books. It should be just a 
matter of time before they are available from Bard and other sources.

Happy reading,
Steve
