European Cigar Journal, spring 2011
Charles Henderson's Marine Sniper aboutSergeant Carlos Hathcock.
Started A Dance with Dragons the day after it came out. The wife had it preordered!
In the middle of "A game of Thrones." Debating if I can handle the wait and not start the second book.
LOL
I highly recommend reading book 1 through before starting book 2.
Even if you saw season 1 on TV, and it does follow the book quite well, it doesn't give you the detail the book does. It's well worth your time to read it through so you don't miss anything.
I got a few graphic novels for my birthday. Right now, I'm working on The Walking Dead: Compendium One. At the rate I'm blowing through it, I'm not going to be able to wait for Compendium Two, and will need to buy them book by book.
Any other graphic novel fans out there?
I got into graphic novels about two years ago but my interest faded because I couldn't afford to buy them as often as I could read them. The one that got me started was Local by Brian Wood and Ryan Kelly. I also love The Killing Joke by Alan Moore. Some day I want to finish reading Preacher and 100 Bullets.
Just finished Anthony Bourdain's Kitchen Confidential.
Presently I'm rereading Dune
Just finished a couple favorite Robert Heinlein and the Dragonriders of Pern (first 4) series.
How to Run the World: Charting a Course to the Next Renaissance by Parag Khanna
Book 3of3, The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet's Nest.
Right now I'm reading peoples posts of what they are reading.
Just finished Night and Day by Robert B Parker.
Amateurish :smiley21:
Just finished "Patriots: Surviving the Coming Collapse" by James Wesley, Rawles.
If you're looking for a book that helps explain the current "financial crisis" (as though it's any different than any of the recent -- or distant -- past "financial crises") pick up Milton Friedman's Money Mischief, Episodes in Monetary History.
I was familiar with some of the information he covers, but as to the source for our current problems, dating back to the so-called "Crime of 1873" which details the Coinage Act of 1873 that allowed the bi-metallic monetary system to die in America, it adds an interesting perspective on how we got to the current stage in our monetary history. It details how the "money changers" took over the temple.
This is one certainly not for the timid or the "head in the sand" crowd.
I've just finished Perdido Street Station by China Miéville, and am now reading Neil Gaiman's The Graveyard Book. Both quite good.
