The last book I read was Ishmael. it's definately not my favorite.

Before that, I read Chriton's new one called Next.

Both of these had apes in them.

I don't know about favorite but I'll say "Ghost Rider" by Neil Peart.
It's about a 50,000 mile journey he took on his BMW Motorcycle after losing his wife and daughter in less than a year.

FYI: He's the drummer/lyricist for Rush, and and big bicyclist.

Fiction - The Memory of Whiteness by Kim Stanley Robinson

Non-fiction - Normally I'd put Cadillac Desert by Marc Reisner, but I haven't read that for awhile, so I'll go with one I just recently re-read - The Right Stuff by Tom Wolfe.

Favorite authors - Kim Stanley Robinson, Jim Harrison, Harlan Ellison, Hunter S. Thompson, CJ Cherryh, PJ O'Rourke

I'd go more towards the idea that we are combining the worst aspects of BNW and 1984 quite nicely.
