Max Barry books
A companion topic to NationStates.
Anyone who plays NationStates has probably read or is reading Jennifer Government (or one of Max Barry's other 3 books).
I've read Jennifer Government and Machine Man, and am currently reading Company. I haven't read Syrup yet, but I hope to before the movie comes out.
Anyway, have you guys read any of his books? What do you think of them?
I personally think Max does corporate and political satire like no other author, and although Machine Man, his newest novel, didn't fall into either of those categories, it is still a highly entertaining and intriguing read.

Re: Max Barry books
Machine Man is in my queue behind a book on the Transcontinental Railroad and a Gettysburg book. 
I'm going to try to get Jennifer Government next time I get to a bookstore probably.

Yeah, I loved Machine Man. You should definitely read it.
Jennifer Government is good too.
