Joe Torre's "The Yankee Years"...how ironic is it that this die hard Mets fan is reading a book about the Yankess??

I had to do a double-take ... glad you've got it on audiobook ! :D

I've seen too much reading while driving (on the interstate at 80+ mph, no less !).

Just started Shadow of the giant by Orson Scott Card. It's been a while since I've read the rest of this series, but it's coming back to me.

Rereading the Ultimate Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. Currently on So Long and Thanks for all the Fish.

It is better the second time around.

Next will probably be a fantasy book (series), like the Wheel of Time series. I've been waiting for the next A Song of Ice and Fire book forever :mad:

American Rust by Phillipp Meyer. I'm not sure if this book wants to be a thriller or "literature." So far it's a decent read though.

"King of Torts"- John Grisham

It seems so far this is another classic Grisham. I have read just about all he has written and enjoyed them all.

Googled the book after seeing your post. Really didn't know all that much about WWI, so I put "A World Undone" on my list. Finally picked up a copy. On page 550 now, you're right, excellent read.

This is another in his Sigma Force series. If you like complicated spy genre stories you will like this.

If so I have about 2000 or questions to ask. :confused:

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.
