The Complete Hammer's Slammers Volume 1 by David Drake

Paul’s first review of the year

it was amazing
I read this after learning of Drake's passing. For all of the sci-fi and militaria I consumed in my teen years, it's baffling to me that I never read more than a couple of the Slammers stories (I DID tear through the "Fleet" anthology series, co-edited by Drake, when I was in high school and finally moving on from my middle-school diet of Star Trek serial fiction.)

The Name of This Band Is R.E.M. by Peter Ames Carlin

The Name of This Band Is R.E.M. by Peter Ames Carlin

Paul’s last review of the year

really liked it
Solid rock bio-- this book reminded me that, even before the band exploded with "Out of Time," they were already a part of the soundtrack of arty, left-of-center kids, even in the small-town world in which I grew up.
