After watching the first season on HBO, I decided to reat The Game of Thrones. Excellent, but I don't know if I'd like it as much if I hadn't watched the series.

Just finished "An Army at Dawn" by rick Atkinson. Excellent narrative history of the allied invasion of north Africa in WWII. Casts a new light for me on people like bradley, patton, eisenhower during their first (sometimes bumbling) steps as commanders on a large scale. Told mostly through the contemporaneous records of both leaders and led.

Salvation and Sovereignty: A Molinist Approach by Kenneth Keathley

Just finished 'Quest For The Faradawn' by Richard Ford last night. Starting 'Dune' today. I know... should have read it a long time ago.

Part of my bucket list is to read some well known classics. I've already read The Count of Monte Cristo, 20k Leagues Under the Sea, War of the Worlds and currently reading Around the World in 80 Days.

BTW, lots of these are free for downloading in Amazon for the Kindle and the Kindle app.

Great Idea - I did the same but went after Hemmingway - old man and the sea plus fitzgerald's great gatsby. Highly recomend both

Last week I finished License To Pawn: Pawn Stars. I recommend the book. Lots of good stories in there.

I started reading Black Mass about Boston mob guy Whitey Bulger.

The President and the Assassin by Scott Miller. Caught my eye in the bookstore yesterday. Didn't know much about McKinley and always wondered about the turn of the chentury anarchists.

Is there any mention of the border patrol? Book sounds interesting based just on the title.

Not yet, but one of the DEA Agents was prior BP.

It's good, but not one of Faulkner's best. A lot more straightforward than his best work.

I'm one of those who starts a book, puts it down, finds another, starts that one, and the it cycles back to the original book. I'm in the middle of Water for Elephants, The Book of Air, The Relic, House of Leaves, and Into the Wild. Sadly I'm about to start Simon Pegg's Nerd Do Well (but I'll probably finish this one)
