It has been way too long since we had one of these....
The replies to your vanity post.
I like vintage sci fi. Phillip Dick is a favorite.
Its amazing how many of his unknown short stories became major movies.
Camp of the Saints, Jean Raspail
Anabasis, Xenophon
Rebecca’s Tale, Sally Beauman
The first two were recommended by a couple of posters on The Burning Platform.
Jean Raspail was depressingly prescient. He and Aldos Huxley were twentieth century prophets.
The Camp of the Saints begins with an invasion from the Third World and builds the case through narrative that the West willingly self-destructs, unable to summon enough will and belief in itself to turn back the hordes.
Yes, very prescient.
de Kooning a Retrospective
Book 9 of the Harry Hole (that’s pronounced “wholly”) series. Norwegian Noir, good stuff.
Reason? The reason is that the upcoming 2016 elections are critical to the future of the nation, and liberty lovers must focus on and rededicate themselves to what Jefferson called, "the essential principles" of liberty, freedom and safety.

New Grisham. Pretty good, much better than the last.
Just finished all the books from Mark Gimenez, also court dramas, but all based in different cities in Texas. Learned much about the state from the series.
Next up Connelly’s new one with Harry Bosch and Mickey Haller.
“Flash Bang” By Kellen Burden
Free on Amazon.com
Its just kind of wild and crazy. :-)
Pun intended. SORRY.
“The Survivor” the first novel in the Mitch Rapp series
written after the untimely death of creator of the series
Vince Flynn. The new author, Kyle Mills has done a fine job on this book and carries on Flynn’s works rather nicely.
Also starting today, “Crusader Castles” by T.E. Lawrence.
Byron’s Don Juan, currently.
A history of England during and after the war of the roses published in 1908,
A historical novel set in France during the same time period (A Distant Mirror byBarbara W. Tuchman) published in 1978,
The 2010 edition of “The Best American Travel Writing” by Bill Buford,
Volume 2 of “Otherland” by Tad Williams,
and just about any other piece of printed material that crosses my path...
“The Hunters of Kentucky: A Narrative History of America’s First Far West, 1750 - 1792”
Meanwhile I'm truly enjoying the Monster Hunter International series by Larry Correia. Fantasy like it used to be.
