(Which I haven't, at least not since John Crowley's The Deep). But my To Be Read pile is filling up so I've got to get moving. I just started A Libertarian Walks Into A Bear (The Utopian Plot to Liberate An American Town (And Some Bears)) by Matthew Hongoltz-Hetling.  This has been on my list for years, and I have to read it because I finally decided to just get it out at the library. It's of interest because a) current politics; b) current politics in New Hampshire; c) current trends in people moving into New Hampshire; and d) because Grafton (the aforementioned American Town) is about 15 miles away. So, pretty farkin' local. (Two chapters in, it seems pretty accurate in a "aw shucks ain't local rural culture cute" kinda of way. If you want to pick an area away from the epicenter of almost everything in NH, Grafton is a good choice.)Alas, I was living in NY when the events in the book went down, but the overall "Free State" movement has definitely had an effect locally (both for and against).I also just picked up Lies Weeping, the new Black Company book by Glen Cook. Powerful incentive to finish A Libertarian....</blockquote>
