Wallace, ID is a funny little town if you're ever driving I-90. For decades it was the only remaining stop light on I-90 between Seattle and Boston. Up until about the mid-90's, brothels still openly operated with relatively immunity to prosecution. Uber wealthy guy named Harry Magnuson headquartered in Wallace - at one time the largest private land owner in the country.YellowSnow said:

There's a ski resort (Silver Mountain) about 5 miles down the road in Kellogg, ID. If one were so inclined, one would purchase either a condo or home there. Still pretty affordable and a kick ass ski hill with solid snow. Gondola runs straight from the parking lot on the freeway up to the lodge at the top of the hill. Hasn't been Aspened/Sun Valley'd yet.

That may explain HondoFS lead poisoning/lack of brain development. Downwinder to the Spokane Valley.

Rock Creek outside Missoula is solid too. Anything in that Bitterroot Range is pretty damned tight. Used to spend a ton of time up on a gold claim south of Superior. Pan a little gold to keep the claim active, then fish and hike and commune with nature (ie: jackoff in the woods).YellowSnow said:

The Throbber is waiting for the re-release of the children's illustrated version of "Me So Horny" by 2LiveCrew.creepycoug said:

I'm a freak in heat, a dog without warning
My appetite is sex, 'cause me so horny -
Yeah, that’s a phenomenal book. Since you liked that, you would probably like “Black Banners: The Inside Story of 9/11 and the War Against al-Qaeda.” It was written by an FBI agent who interrogated senior al-Qaeda members. It’s a a great perspective from someone who was behind the scenes.GrundleStiltzkin said:Just finished, outstanding

Looming Tower certainly painted a different picture of Al Qaeda than was portrayed immediately before and after 9/11. -
Some of my faves. Anything by Irving and Vonnegut you can pretty much just grab and go. Love those two. The Rabbit series by Updike is a good read as well. The second and third books in particular. The Abercrombie trilogy is pretty grim and bloody. Need to be in the right frame of mind. They are a weekend trilogy. Easy and satisfying. -
Heinlein is a pig but Stranger is a good book.

I may have thrown this out before, but deserves second if so.
Meticulous research. -

What did you think of it? I just remembered when I read the print version, there were some sections that had a lot of redactions. Did you listen to the book? If so, I’d be curious how that played out on audio.GrundleStiltzkin said:

Yes, audiobook, and finished the last 3 hours on a drive yesterday. The wife was quite irritated with “blank said.”Fecal_Matter said:

To continue, excellent book. This is perhaps 4th I’ve read overlapping the pre & post 9/11 intel operations. The CIA does not come off well in any of them. FBI is always good or at least better guys. I’ve wondered if there’s any books of similar quality from the CIA point of view.
And fuck everyone that enhanced interrogation became a political binary issue. It didn’t work. I’m pretty disgusted with all that. -
East of Eden is the greatest novel ever written. Figures since you have @theknowledgetheknowledge said:

The Wheel of Time is the best fantasy series I’ve ever read. Buckle up, it’s long. Amazon TV series is beginning production this month.
The Silmarillion. Read it in advance of the new LoTR/Tolkien series Amazon is making.
Just finished The War on Normal People by Andrew Yang. Can’t recommend it enough.
First Law trilogy is on the shelf tanned ready and rested.
Currently reading Fire and Blood cuz I’m a sucker for them dragons.
Been on a real nerd bender lately...
