Currently reading An Earthly Crown by Kate Elliot. It's supposed to be the first book in a series, I have the second. However, if you don't read Jaran which is in the same world/story you'll be lost.

Just finished The Limits of Power by Andrew Bacevich and started The Guns of August by Barbara Tuchman. Also reading The Collected Stories of Paul Bowles.

"The Road to Dallas" by David Kaiser - Harvard U. Press.
He is a Naval War College historian who cleanly details the conspiracy by the Mob, Cuban nationals linked to CIA and 3 men, including Oswald, to kill JFK. It is excellent.

Right now I'm in the middle of "Until We Have Faces" by CS Lewis, before that I read a bunch of books when I was at Ghazni, the first 3 Bournes, "Marching through Peachtree", "Time travellers strictly cash", and I'm about to re-re-re-re-read "Starship Troopers" when I finish the book I'm currently reading.

Now that the semester is over I can start reading things I actually want to read. Going to finish up Mickey Mantle biography and then get into Complete work of Poe.... maybe pick up Artie Lang's autobiography "too fat to fish"

12-15-2008, 12:49 PM

Reading Dan Simmons' Summer of Night. Excellent book so far.

Is it good? Thinking about picking it up

Currently working my way through Catch 22. It is a really strange read

. I kind of feel like I am losing my grip on reality while reading it, lol.

Feet Wet: Reflections of a Carrier Pilot by Paul T. Gillcrist

Steve · 12-16-2008, 08:23 AM

Crunch & Des, Classic Stories of Saltwater Fishing by Philip Wylie.

I finally found a copy at a library that I could check out. Fun read!

PeteSB75 · 12-16-2008, 08:47 AM

Slowly working my way through Anathem, the new Neal Stephenson. Starts off pretty slow, but it's getting good now...

lightning9191 · 12-16-2008, 04:32 PM

I finished "How We Die" and have moved on to "From Here to Eternity"

Cigargal · 01-01-2009, 12:06 PM

I read Black Ice, The Concrete Blonde and now I am reading The Last Coyote.

That makes 78 books for 2008. My goal was 50, so I guess I made it. I might try for 100, but that is a stretch when I start the year out with so many good video games

Next I am going to try Demon in the Freezer by Richard Preston

Starscream · 01-01-2009, 10:48 PM

The Complete Adventures of Sherlock Holmes Vol. One

Absolutely wonderful work. I didn't know that Holmes was a cocaine addict.
