1776 by David McCullough, it will make you proud...if you are an American.

-The Second World War by Winston Churchill
-Depraved and Insulting English by Peter Novobatsky and Ammon Shea (a collection of archaic curses, insults, and obscenities, it's the funnest lexicon ever written)

This fall my wife an I have been buying big volumns of Poetry and resolving to read extensively in this area of neglect for us over the next year. A daunting task requiring help.

Therefore, one of our Christmas gifts (a major one) to ourselves was the Oxford English Dictionary, Shorter Edition. Now keep in mind the the full Oxford is twenty volumns. The shorter is two volumns each the size of the unabridged dictionaries you used to see in your high school library. It is a luxury we have always wanted and finally decided to purchase. We took the Barnes and Noble Card, a Barnes and Noble Coupon and hit them on our personal discount shopping day because it is an outlandish price otherwise.

Happy reading!

I received, two Christmases ago “The Politically Incorrect Guide to American History” by Thomas E. Woods. While both informative and enlightening, it was also an easy, entertaining and quick read.

I’m also a fan of Historical Biographer, Alison Weir, author of, among others, “The Six Wives of Henry VIII”, “The Children of Henry VIII”, “The Life of Elizabeth I”, and “Eleanor of Aquitaine”, all of which I’ve read and enjoyed.

The last work of fiction I really, really enjoyed was “Memoirs of a Geisha” by Arthur Golden.

If you're into the fantasy genre, this year I have re-read the Drizzt series, starting from the Dark Elf Trilogy and all the way through The Hunter's Blades trilogy. Also, I am currently awaiting the next installment of A Song Of Ice And Fire, "A Dance With Dragons". There's not much non-antasy that grips me; if I want historical reading I crack open my history books, as I am a history major.

I just finished "Turning Angel" by Greg Iles, and I loved it.
