don't know nuthin' 'bout tungsten. But the book by Oliver Sacks "Uncle 
Tungsten" is a very good read.

Also just finished reading "Caught Stealing" and "Six Bad Things" by 
Charlie Huston. Very good if you don't mind a little brutality.

Just starting Charlie Hustons very new "Already Dead".

On another note Happy New Year to all readers of theforge!
