I'm about 70% through the second Jurassic Park book and it's ok. People on /r/books seemed to think it was even better than the first, but it feels like a slog compared to the first. I'm looking forward to moving on to Stephen King's The Stand.

I'm currently reading Thomas C. Schelling's The Strategy of Conflict. So far, it seems to be presenting a wide range of mechanisms as actual possible strategies, when I would have expected these mechanisms to be cataloged solely for establishing common knowledge of possible counterfactuals best avoided. I'm beginning to be concerned that I'll get more positive examples of how one ought to actually comport themselves in this domain from BDSM Decision Theory D&D Fanfic than from this historical, venerable, seminal work on the subject.
