Morning Discussion

by Alice O'Connor, Feb 18, 2011 5:00am PST

I would very much like to tell you something about video games this morning but the truth is that I'm far too excited to concentrate. Tomorrow evening I'll be seeing the truly wonderful and dreadful Troll 2 along with a documentary about it, Best Worst Movie. I'm a sucker for enjoyably bad movies, especially bad horror movies, and oh my gooooooooooooooood Troll 2 is fantastically bad.

But video games are real, they do exist, and they are happening, so let's get onto those, yes? I hear they have buttons and everything nowadays.

Non-Fiction Mens:

So that story yesterday someone linked about the terrorist hunter in Iraq (link for those who missed it: http://www.esquire.com/features/iraq-terrorist-hunter-0311-3 ) reminded me of desire I have had for awhile in regards to asking the shack for recommendations regarding non-fiction stuff like this.

I really find the cold war era interesting, but really anything like this with neat "secret" stories or just actual political intrigue/espionage, etc would be great. I've read a ton of stuff on wikipedia about Mossad and the like, but I figure there are probably plenty of interesting non fiction books out there, so I am asking you all for your advice.

Thanks!
