King's Blood / Steven Barnes
I like Barnes' series of books about Aubrey Knight -- Streetlethal, Gorgon Child, and Firedance. This is an interesting alternate history, a sub-genre I read a fair amount of. However, like a lot of the alt-histories, not as much happens as you might like. That's usually OK, because like any good history text, part of the pleasure is seeing the world explained.

Finished it Saturday.

The CEO of the Sofa / P.J. O'Rourke
Pretty poor, really. I actually started skiming about 1/3 of the way in, and leafed quickly through the rest, in between dozing off. Not particularly good writing, especially in comparison to someone like Dave Barry. I'm sure there are funny right-wingers out there, but this wasn't it. Like the unfunny sidekick to the captain of the football team ingratiating himself into his idea of the "cool crowd" by presenting insult as wit.

It didn't help, of course, that he slagged Indiana University right as they were surprising Duke in the NCAA tourney. Dope.

Oh! A funny right-wing writer: Chistopher Buckley. Extremely funny novels like Thank You For Smoking. Of course, I don't know how right-wing he is. Maybe he doesn't have his dad's politics.
