He sure is! One of my favorite fictional characters, right up there with Jack Reacher, Nero Wolf & Archie Goodwin, Spencer, J P Beaumont.

Of Posidon by Anna Banks

I read this based on a recently read short story. The author has a pretty good style. It's a tween book targeted at young adults and adults. I liked the story, until the ending.

The ending is a cliff-hanger; the author could have done a better job wrapping some things up, instead of forcing us to wait for a second book...

Struck by Jennifer Bosworth. Another book I read after reading a short story... This book was not as well written and the main character was not someone you are drawn to support... meh

Neil Young autobiography "Waging Heavy Peace", pretty interesting read, particularly when he's talking about the 60's and 70's.

Just finished The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown, so I thought I'd stick with the theme and started reading The Last Templar by Raymond Khoury. Pretty good so far, a little farther than halfway through.

I just started this book tonight. Author's name is James M. McPherson. At 904 pages, it certainly is a tome. I don't know that it's fair to call it, 'long and drawn out,' though. Shelby Foote's, The Civil War: A Narrative is 2,968 pages! Now that one's going to require a few more cigars! Coronas gigantes or similar! :D

Battle Cry of Freedom won McPherson a Pulitzer Prize in 1989 so I'm expecting it to be amaaazing. What did you think of it, Scott?
