The Star Fraction, Ken MacLeod.

"I'm sure." She smiled at him indulgently, dismissively. "Bye. Oh, and I will ask our admin to check out your rates."
"Thank you," he said. "You'll find we're very competitive." He stood up and patted his gun. "Let's go."
When he'd gone she had the nagging feeling that more than one person had left.

My personally autographed copy of Going Rogue (neener neener) and Bing West's remarkable The Strongest Tribe: War, Politics, and the Endgame In Iraq. The former is really sweet, the latter pulls no punches whatever. Both of them highly recommended.

Finally finished “How the Scots Invented the Modern World”, just finished “Going Rogue”, and now on Robert B. Parker’s “Brimstone”.

I'm reading "Aztec" by the late Gary Jennings, a historical novel about Mexico set in the 15th century. This book is not for the faint-hearted. More senseless murders than a book on the mafia and more kinky sex than a year subscription to Penthouse. Not what I was expecting at all when I picked the book up. Were the Aztecs really like that?

Also recently re-read Jack London's "Call of the Wild" - one of my favorite books of all time (actually more of an extended short story than a novel. That story never gets old. Buck - the winter dog!

One of my favorite passages in that book:

And over this great demesne Buck ruled. Here he was born, and here he had lived the four years of his life. It was true, there were other dogs. There could not but be other dogs on so vast a place, but they did not count. They came and went, resided in the populous kennels, or lived obscurely in the recesses of the house after the fashion of Toots, the Japanese pug, or Ysabel, the Mexican hairless—strange creatures that rarely put nose out of doors or set foot to ground. On the other hand, there were the fox terriers, a score of them at least, who yelped fearful promises at Toots and Ysabel looking out of the windows at them and protected by a legion of housemaids armed with brooms and mops. But Buck was neither house-dog nor kennel-dog. The whole realm was his. He plunged into the swimming tank or went hunting with the Judge's sons; he escorted Mollie and Alice, the Judge's daughters, on long twilight or early morning rambles; on wintry nights he lay at the Judge's feet before the roaring library fire; he carried the Judge's grandsons on his back, or rolled them in the grass, and guarded their footsteps through wild adventures down to the fountain in the stable yard, and even beyond, where the paddocks were, and the berry patches. Among the terriers he stalked imperiously, and Toots and Ysabel he utterly ignored, for he was king—king over all creeping, crawling, flying things of Judge Miller's place, humans included.

If I ever had to come back to life as a dog, I'd come back as Buck. Nobody messes with Buck.
