    Finished: Pop: 1280 by Jim Thompson

    Reading: The Complete Stories of J.G. Ballard
    Will Read: Blowback by Chalmers Johnson. An explanation about how American foreign policy is creating their own enemies. Written before 9/11 and the author was surprised the hijackings wasn't done by Chileans (9/11/1973 was when the US backed Pinochet's coup) or the Greeks (Avrakotos regime has embittered them toward America to this day).
