Currently reading Harry Turtledove's 8-book alternative history (the first is How Few Remain ). Subject: what if the South had won the Civil War? Fascinating.

Have you read his WWII series? Really good stuff, if you can get over his overuse of the phrase "worse luck". [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Did you notice that it was surrounded by other questions about a certain card game? And that this getting to know you thing has been called "2+2 style?" I'm pretty sure he doesn't care what our literary tastes are out of the blue.

Mine, by the way, is The Outsider by Richard Wright, closely followed by Kafka's The Metamorphosis. But he was asking about poker books.

That's for the first book in the series. If memory serves, there are 8 total (4 WorldWar titles, and 4 (?) in a follow-up series called Colonization).

I intended for the 'favorite book' to be favorite poker book. Though its been interesting see what everyone else's favorite book is.

He could have been card dead, but if he was paying attention to the table, he would have had to be pretty epically card dead not to want to take on those two guys.
