I haven't had much time to read, only 7 chapters in. If you liked the others in the Swagger Series, you will like this one.

Finished 'Heart Shaped Box' by Joe Hill (Stephen King's son). Was a pretty good book and only took me a couple days to read. You can see a lot of his father's influence in his writing.

Now I have moved onto 'The Dark Half' by Stephen King.

Just finishing "The American Civil War" by John Keegan. Nothing new or groundbreaking in it, but very readable and a nice single volume account of the war.

Just finished "The Last Aerie" by Brian Lumley. His Necroscope series is awsome and just keeps going.
Now I'm on "Consent to Kill" by Vince Flynn.

Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy.
First McCarthy novel for me, taking me a while to get used to his style. The lack of punctuation really threw me off for a while.

I loved "With the Old Breed". Another good memoir from the Pacific Theater is "Helmet for My Pillow" by Robert Leckie; pick that one up if you get a chance.

Reading the whole Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy series......again. :D



<Spolier alert>






Wish the ending was better, but I really enjoy reading these books, so much fun and funny. :tu

Black Powder War by Naomi Novik - third in a series (5-6 books so far?) - psuedo-historical fiction set during the Napoleonic wars, but with dragons. Very well written and engaging.

Was also reading some Brian Lumley - the first few Necroscope books. Pretty good, definitely entertaining, and very bloody.

And finally a bit of Dan Simmons - Hyperion and Fall of Hyperion. Incredible books - think Chaucer's Canterbury Tales style, but set in a sci-fi world.

:tu:tu:tu Sledge is amazing- they have him on video somewhere and a more articulate person you won't find anywhere!
