I just started reading Room in anticipation for the movie coming out. I haven't gotten that far, but I've heard nothing but amazing things about it.
Fuck that.

There’s a good place to start. This book series will kick your teeth in. And it’s almost all completely true. I’ve listened to it three times on audible and I’m about to start it again.

NOS4A2 by Joe Hill should fit that criteria. It doesn’t have the same kind of questionable details Stephen King books can have, but it’s written by his son, who has a lot of the same voicing his fathers writing contains. It’s a great read!
No soy muy fan del género pero hace poco leí "NOS4A2" de Joe Hill y me gustó mucho. Además de que es el regalo perfecto para navidad por la ambientación.
These books look cool! Thanks for sharing.
>I actually read about this some time back in two GREAT and well-researched novels called Power of the Dog and The Cartel.
>Actually I learned more about the drug war in those 2 novels than I've learned anywhere else.
Don Winslow has a couple novels dealing with the cartels, and the efforts to fight them. While they are fictional, they do track pretty closely with reality, and go into a lot of the politics, corruption, and economics involved. It's a lot easier to understand when you have a full picture of what exactly is involved.
They are definitely worth checking out. They are fairly graphic, but nothing that will shock someone who just looked at that album.
The two books are a series, but they don't strictly need to be read in order. I read The Cartel first, and didn't feel like I missed out on anything.
I'm 63 years old, and I was involved in the Internet before Tim Berners-Lee invented the WWW. My son is currently a PhD candidate in Comp Sci, and will go to work for Google next spring. I have some familiarity with the Internet. Let me tell you a couple of things about it. First, it can't be "cleaned up". Second, it shouldn't be "cleaned up".
By all means learn security. Learn how to keep people's data safe. That is a skill that will be in great demand from here on out. Forget about this whole "justice" thing though. There is no justice. There are just people who don't want to get fucked over, and people who want to fuck them over.
Addendum: If you haven't already, you should read Reamde.
I work in the judiciary, and based on what I can tell, so many of us are broken, and we turn to so many different forms of abuse--self and otherwise--in reaction.
I'll check out that book. Thank you. 2 books which informed me tremendously about the effect of drugs on society were novels, of all things, written by a fella named Don Winslow. First was Power of the Dog, and the other was its sequel, The Cartel. If you're familiar with the movie Sicario, its tone, substance, characters could have been drawn directly from these books.
But in addition to the issues you describe, there's so much profit in drug-dealing, and so much corruption and other business opportunities arise from it, that a surprising amount of society seems to have an interest in keeping them illegal.
All of this because we're so fragile.
While it wasn't Seattle-centric, Neal Stephenson's Reamde had a scene or two in Seattle. Some of the other locations in the book are in British Columbia and the wilderness between BC and Seattle.
It seems to be the epilogue and contained at the end of this version of The Woman http://www.amazon.com/Woman-Jack-Ketchum-ebook/dp/B004MPRXKE/ref=la_B001HMPRV2_1_10?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1457312606&sr=1-10
Various reviews and discussions seem to confirm this is the case http://www.screenread.de/jack-ketchum-interview-the-woman/
Just a quick sidenote, have you read Room. I mean, it's right up your alley to be honest. It happens in childhood and, fair warning, it isn't occult horror, it's everyday horror if that makes sense.
But I am with you, stories taking place in childhood would be so much fun. I have many memories of the weird and outright scary when I was young but for it only to be something I didn't understand because I had the brain of a Winnie The Pooh book. Yet if that scary thing was real, how could I get help? I would be a child trying to fight something beyond my power and strength.
Then again, I also like stories where it is something bad happening to the child but the child can't really figure out that it's bad. I like that because the reader is both simulateously going "you idiot kid! Can't you see what is happening to you?!" yet also going; "What the fuck? What if something like that happened to me?".
Good point, /u/GobiusIndustries.
In a story in this recent short story collection that was just released, Mulder is married to an El Salvadorian woman named Samanda. He married her so that she wouldn't be deported. It's not romantic beyond that. In fact, it's also the origin of why he always sleeps on the couch.
She gets a job to be a law professor at USC, which is the reason for their "divorce."
Think this is Leo preparing to play the role of Art Keller in the upcoming Ridley Scott film, The Cartel.
Based on the books, The Power of the Dog and The Cartel, released recently. I've just been lucky enough to read the latter, absolutely briliant. Would seriously recommend it to anyone!
This is the one he'll win an Oscar for

I'm currently reading The Power if the Dog by Don Winslow. It's a fantastic crime/thriller about the start of the War on Drugs. The sequel just got released and looked interesting enough that I had to buy the first book before I read it.
/u/neongreenpurple is an avid reader and LOVES books.
She helps so many people and have adopted newbies to help. She even gifts them. I think she's a very kind person and deserves a new read :)
