I am reading Godless by Dan Barker, former Evangalistic Preacher turned leading Athiest, not really my views but an interesting read.

Finished up The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest. Good book but the first and second books of the series were better IMO.

I finished: The Ice Man: Confessions of a Mafia Contract Killer by Phillip Carlo. It is about serial killer Richard Kuklinski. I highly recommend the book.

Now I am reading a book which just came out today: SEAL Team Six: Memoirs of an Elite Navy SEAL Sniper

Last time I posted to this thread I was knee-deep in "The Golden Spruce" and "The Tiger" from Vaillant, "The Hungry Tide" from Ghosh, and "Cutting for Stone" from Verghese.

Vaillant's books were the best back-to-back books I have ever read from the same author. 2 completely different stories, both addictive after 10 pages.

"The Hungry Tide" is a book I would gift to mom, wife, sister that likes to read. Dragged a bit.

"Cutting for Stone" was great.


After watching 4 episodes of HBO's Game of Thrones....I bought the book this morning and plan on power-reading my way past where the show is, now that I have a visual character introduction.

I finished the first two books in the Trilogy but decided to skip the third and I moved onto:

Empire of the Summer Moon. The Rise & Fall of the Comanches, the most powerful Indian Tribe in American History

"The Power of Positive Dog Training" by Pat Miller (Amazon Link).

Good stuff so far. With a new five-month-old puppy, the training exercises are a great way to tucker her out. They seem to make her more tired than a long walk does!

If you enjoyed the first two you should read the third, they are all good I thought.

Game of Thrones book 3 - Storm of Swords, the books are great and the show is pretty awesome too.

I am also with the others on the Stieg Larson trilogy. I enjoyed them all.

The "What are you reading" thread.
Sorry couldn't resist.



I recently listened to "Rant" by the guy who wrote Fight Club.
Interestingly odd.
I have a copy of "Pygmy" but haven't been able to sit down and read much of it.

Chuck Paliniuk is a great writer, IMO.

Yesterday I finished: Family Affair: Greed, Treachery, and Betrayal in the Chicago Mafia

It was decent. I like Mafia books, but this seemed more like an encyclopedia than a story.

Now I am reading: License to Pawn by Rick Harrison of the show Pawn Stars.

Just finished Catch-22. I had heard a lot about it and it never made it on my required reading lists in highschool, so I checked it out. I was not particularly impressed, actually, and I normally really enjoy the "classics".
