“The World is Flat” by Thomas Friedman. I highly recommend it so far.
Oh, and a variety of tech manuals for my job
“The Forgotten Man” by Amity Shlaes. Historical treatment of how New Deal of FDR extended the Great Depression.
happy endings by Jimmie Norton.
I bought it for my son, and now he's addicted to Turtledove. It's got some "lightweight" stuff (Anne McCaffrey's Dragonrider) and some classics (Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card).
Nice brain candy after a day of Free Republic.
God’s Secretaries by Adam Nicolson. It’s about Jacobean England, the person of James, and the Translators of the KJV. Also The Origin of Species, which I’ve put on hold while I work through the more interesting book.
The Hardy Way by Lee Child.
One of the Jack Reacher series...
Off Armageddon's Reef by David Weber
Because it takes 50 years to trudge through Ayn's redundant sermons!
Yeah, but it's worth it.
“The Religion of Peace?” by Robert Spencer
“The Bourne Identity” by Robert Ludlum
“Pearl Harbor” by Newt Gingrich
The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (And The Crusades) by Robert Spencer
“Under the Grandstands” by Seymour Butts, a shocking expose.
Don’t remember but apparently it is in a museum somewhere in Russia.
Greenspan’s latest. Interesting.
Dean Koontz, The Good Guy.
“The Many Faces of Mary” by Bob and Penny Lord
“street without joy” is a book i actually read while i was in vietnam-very well written and unfortunately prophetic-right now i am reading a denis johnson novel “angels” and plan to read “tree of amoke”,his new novel on vietnam next0-i finished reading all of cormac mccarthy’s works this year-great stuff!!for plain enjoyment i am going to read tess gerritsen’s “the bone garden”-she is a former doctor who writes very fast moving and entertaining novels-her best book is “gravity”about the space program and deep sea exploration -it’s a science thriller with lots of interesting ideas
Replay by Ken Grimwood. Seen it mentioned on FR so I thought it might be interesting to read.
Thomas Sowell - “A Conflict of Visions: Ideological Origins of Political Struggles”
On Deck:
Amity Shlaes - “The Forgotten Man: A New History of the Great Depression”
