Also have a bunch of Jeff Shara books.

Being a history major, I keep collecting books. :)
I've read Michael Shaara's book, The Killer Angels. Excellent book if you're a history buff. Michael is Jeff's brother.

Hunger Games both books - Loved 'em.
Percy Jackson and the Olympians the Lightning Thief (because of the movie) - Sucked. Flattest characters I've ever seen. Movie should be good. I think he thought all he had to do was have Greek Mythology and it'd suffice.
World War Z - liked it. Didn't have a central narrative so I didn't latch on, which is also kinda a plus too. Yeah, I'm weird.

Now reading:
Altar of Eden by James Rollins
A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson.
Lovely Bones

Ya, I read "The Killer Angels". Great book. I also read the other books on the civil war era by Jeff Shara.

I grabbed the ones on WWI, WWII and the American revolution.
Should keep me pretty busy.

Very good and engaging reads.

I recently finished reading "Shantaram" by Gregory David Roberts. Amazing. Possibly the best book I've read!

Odd Hours by Dean Koontz

Two nights ago, I finished Let the Great World Spin by Colum McCann. I think McCann is extremely gifted and this type of book is right in his wheelhouse.

The book is set in NYC circa 1974. The charcters are incredibly rich, particularily Corrigan, a Catholic priest living out the early days of liberation theology.

I've been wanting to read that. Is it worth the 1200-page investment?

Haven't seen the movie yet, but just devoured the book. Looking forward to reading more of his work.
The book is amazing, as is the movie. The rest of his stuff is awesome too. No Country was the first book of his that I read, and I went out and bought every single one after that.
