much to the detriment of the items on my 'to do' list, I'm immersed in "dead or alive" by tom clancy (and other unnamed author; or at least, I don't remember the co-author's name)
great stuff. |

Into the Storm by Taylor Anderson
http://www.amazon.com/Into-Storm-Des...6106275&sr=8-3 I'm actually reading the second book now, Maelstrom. Very strange concept, but great books. |

Just began reading the book "The Greatest Generation" by Tom Brokaw. I was turned to it by another planateer recently....My curiousity was piqued because I have always felt that the generation of world war II was the last great generation of Americans....

Finished "War" by Sebastian Junger - author follows one platoon of paratroopers over the course of a 15 month deployment (2007-08) to the Korengal Valley in Afghanistan; hard to put down. Sometimes you might have to. Excellent read.
Started "The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable" by Nasim Nicholas Taleb. http://www.amazon.com/Black-Swan-Imp.../dp/1400063515 |

"Unbroken" by Lauren Hillenbrand, who also authored the bestseller "Seabiscuit: An American Legend". Captivating! (no pun intended)

I just finished reading all 3 Hunger Games books in less than a week. I enjoyed them very much.
I just started The Book Thief (about 40 pages in) and I'm just not into it.

![]() I've gotten into a Gene Wolfe kick. Read Pirate Freedom (which I really, really liked - I could swear somebody told me it sucked) and re-read The Knight, and I've just started re-reading The Wizard. Also been reading The Best of Gene Wolfe, which is a collection of stories from throughout his career. |
