Just finished:

Anthony Loyd's My War Gone By, I Miss it So

Evan Wright's Generation Kill

Even though Loyd is a better writer than Wright, the account of what happens in the fog of war, and the unbelievable incompetence displayed by the leadership in Generation Kill made for a more interesting read.

I'm interested to see what David Simon does with Generation Kill.

And saving the best for last, Michael Herr's Dispatches.

Also recently finished:

Michael Lewis' The Blind Side
Oliver Sacks' The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat
Daniel Levetin's This is Your Brain on Music

About to start:

John Dower's Embracing Defeat: Japan in the Wake of World War II
Oliver Sacks' Musicophilia
Norman Doidge's The Brain That Changes Itself
