			Currently reading An Earthly Crown by Kate Elliot. It's supposed to be the first book in a series, I have the second. However, if you don't read Jaran which is in the same world/story you'll be lost.

			"The Road to Dallas" by David Kaiser - Harvard U. Press.  
		
		
		
		
		
		
			He is a Naval War College historian who cleanly details the conspiracy by the Mob, Cuban nationals linked to CIA and 3 men, including Oswald, to kill JFK. It is excellent.

			Right now I'm in the middle of "Until We Have Faces" by CS Lewis, before that I read a bunch of books when I was at Ghazni, the first 3 Bournes, "Marching through Peachtree", "Time travellers strictly cash", and I'm about to re-re-re-re-read "Starship Troopers" when I finish the book I'm currently reading.

			Currently working my way through Catch 22.  It is a really strange read  
		
		
		
		
		
		
			 .  I kind of feel like I am losing my grip on reality while reading it, lol.

	That makes 78 books for 2008. My goal was 50, so I guess I made it. I might try for 100, but that is a stretch when I start the year out with so many good video games   Next I am going to try Demon in the Freezer by Richard Preston  |
