Anyone reading anything good?
What are books 2, 3, 4 and 5 titled?
Calvin's Institutes, 1536 Edition.
Oh, and the Bible as translated into German by Luther. Reading Scripture in another language is quite interesting.

Under the Loving Care of the Fatherly Leader : North Korea and the Kim Dynasty, by Bradley Martin
I've been on a Revolutionary War binge over the last few weeks: These are all EXCELLENT books:
1776
John Adams
Washington's Crossing
Victory at Yorktown
His Excellency
George Washington is absolutely hands-down the greatest founding father and my true hero!!! John Adams is a close second. Thomas Jefferson was an eloquent writer and did many good things--but he was also THE original "limousine liberal".
Reading these books has reminded me of the greatness of our country.
Thanks.. think I will look for it sounds good. For what I am reading now ( ducking as I say this) Harry Potter books for the second time.
Any thing by Neil Stephenson, but Cryptonomicon is his best.
The trilogy, of which Quicksilver is the first book (followed by The Confusion and The System of the World, is very good as well. It deals with the rise of Trade and the passing of Fuedalism as the driving forces in the world.
"Why the Greeks Matter"
If you love Heinlein, check out Steel Beach and The Golden Globe by John Varley. Lots of books claim to be Heinleinesque, but Varley must have channeled him.
