[MD] Book Recommendation for DMB and Arlo

[John Carl]

I just finished a book I thought both of you would love.  Either of you
familiar with Ben Elton <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Elton>?  His Blind
Faith is a retelling of Orwell's 1984, extrapolating current cultural trends
where the Fundamentalists have taken over England and all of society is
oriented toward emotional revelations via constant webcam.  It's
hilariously, skeweriingly, shiveringly prophetic.

And for gav, I'd highly recommend his Stark - an environmentalist screed set
in Australia.

Actually, I'd recommend all of his writings to everybody, he's good.  Think
raunchier, earthier Doug Adams.  He's so good, in fact, I'm sure this is old
news (again) and John's just rehashing what everybody knows (the dice are
loaded)
