What are you reading

I read to be entertained, and suspense, fiction, weird, sometimes creepy stuff fits the bill. I am a Dean Koontz addict, and I am currently reading the third book in his Frankenstein series called "Dead and Alive". Very entertaining thus far. If you are looking for deep and serious, this kind of stuff is not for you!

Heaven and Earth, Life and Fate.

MO mule you will never waste time reading Thomas Sowell, when you finish I recommend Sowell's advanced economics book.

I am reading Heaven and Earth by Ian Plimer. global warming the missing science...a scientific blast at the anthropomorphic global warming crowd. This book caused Australia and New Zeeland to cancel their cap and tax nonsense.
And
Life and Fate by Vasily Grossman this is a War and Peace length book about the USSR during WWII, it was suppressed by numerous Soviet Governments, may still be banned there.
 
Cyrano, next on my list is a re-read of Spy Catcher. The cold war novel at it's best.

Shelby Foote. He was a gentleman among gentlemen. I had the extreme pleasure of meeting him on several occasions through a friend that works at WKNO Public TV, Memphis. I've watched the Ken Burns show but have never read the books. Therefore they are 2nd, 3rd & 4th on the list after a re-read of Spy Catcher.

Clzss III: It reads like a novel but unfortunately it is stone cold autobiographical fact. Excellent reading, however. Upon reflection, it shows how different we are from the British, instead of how similiar.
 
Just finished W. E. B. Griffin's "The Traffickers". Not as good as the prior Badge of Honor series, but OK. Way better than the Argentine stuff.
Now reading "The King's Commission" by Dewey Lambdin. If you liked Hornblower, you'll love this series!
 
Just finished "Tripwire" by Lee Child, a "Jack Reacher" novel.

Read all the Reacher novels now, one of my favorite series.

Just started "Another Man's Moccasins" by Craig Johnson, a "Walt Longmire" mystery.

I like to read several books at the same time

Slavery and the Making of America by James Oliver Horton and Louis E Horton

Race and Reunion the Civil War in American Memory by David W Blight

Masters of the Big House Elite Slaveholders of the Mid-Nineteen-Century South by William Kauffman Scarborough

Israel an the Appomattox A Southern Experiment in Black Freedom from the 1790s through the Civil War by Melvin Patrick Ely

I like to read several books at the same time cross checking references and notes to see the thoroughness of the author's research into the subject matter.
 
I just finished First Family by David Baldacci and Watchers by Dean Koontz. I listened to Watchers on CD while commuting to work.

I've just started Koontz's Frankenstein trilogy.

*** Thread drift alert ***

Does anyone else have an Amazon Kindle? I seal mine up in a plastic baggie and sit in a tub full of hot water and read. That doesn't suck.
