The Shack by WM. Paul Young.

Excellent read- best fiction I have read in over a decade and I am only half-way in.

My wife is reading it now. When she was half-way through, she didn't like it, but now she does, and wants me to read it. I'd be interested to hear what you thought about it after you've finished it.

I just finished Strange Adventures of Rangergirl, by Timothy Pratt. Haven't read a fiction book in a while. It was pretty good, I must say.

Now onto "The Second World: Empires and Influence in the New Global Order" by Parag Khanna.

Just After Sunset- Stephen King's latest collection of short stories. Pretty good but I think he's mellowed with age.

Just finished Tweak: Growing up on Methamphetamines. Not great, but realistic. And oh so much better than Jas. Frey's A Million Little Pieces (of Bullshit).

Current: A Lion Among Men - great writer. And, Power of the Dog.

Catch 22 ~ Joseph Heller
I started this novel previously, and I don't think I finished it.
This time I will.

A great read. I can see how some people would not like it. I do not feel like the author is trying to re-invent the spiritual wheel. Everything (except the fictional characters) has biblical context. I found this book to put a lot of basic, yet complex concepts in practical terms. Further, it does a great job in helping to strip everything down to what matters most- relationships. It is a book that I could read once a year and get something out of...

So, I casually picked up this book on Thursday and will probably finish it tonight. I can't say it's the best fiction I've read in a decade, but there's something about it that keeps me plugging away at it every chance I get. It's definitely compelling, however.

The Digital Photography Book by Scott Kelby. Or I will be once it comes in.

Need to learn how to take full advantage of my new Nikon D40.

The Poem of the Cid - gotta teach a bunch of freshmen about Medieval Spain thursday, and this was one of their readings...

I just finished reading Watchmen, the whole thing took me maybe 3 days of reading off and on. Now I'm really excited to go see the movie and even more excited to get more Alan Moore books, I've already read his "Batman: The Killing Joke"

I'm still working on Duma Key, by Stephen King, but I only read that in bed so it's taking a little while.
