There are many different truths in history. Depends on whose doing the telling and what point of view they come from. Truth is all in perspective.

The City and the City by China Mieville. Really strange premise, but an interesting read.

After reading a history of WWI, it was time for a little fiction. I'm a mystery fan and a very helpful lady at Borders suggested The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Steig Larson. Not one of my regular authors, never heard of him but what the heck, I was in the mood for something different.

Started it this morning with a pot of coffee and a nice Trini Coloniales. All of the Swedish names and locations was a little unusual. Interesting characters and after 80 pages I'm hooked. I'm eager to see where this thing goes.

One of the best books I read this year. We are reading it for our Mystery Book club in September. His next book comes out this week. What a shame we only have three from this brilliant writer.

Started A Drink Before the War by Dennis Lehane. I am not usually a fan of 1st person narration so we will see if he pulls it off.

I'm on a Chuck Klosterman kick lately and started "Killing Yourself to Live" today.

Also got "The Guns of August" by Barbara W. Tuchman but haven't started it yet.

A Drink Before the War was an excellent book for a first book in series. even better was the second Kenzie Gennaro book, Darkness Take My Hand. It was a great book. I can't wait to start the third book Sacred. First I have a library book to read. The State of Jones by Jenkins and Stauffer. A true account of a Mississippi man who was a Union sympathizer in the Civil War and his county that did not secede from the Union but formed its own state. Of course, the Confederacy disagreed with him.
