Re: What are you reading?
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.

Re: What are you reading?
"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.

Re: What are you reading?
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.

Re: What are you 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"

Re: What are you reading?
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.

Re: What are you reading?
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 |

The Complete Adventures of Sherlock Holmes Vol. One
Absolutely wonderful work. I didn't know that Holmes was a cocaine addict.
