The Iranians by Sandra Mackey. I know nothing about Iran, and I've learned a lot so far.

Just picked up Adopted son: Washington, Lafayette and the friendship that saved the revolution.

Of course with finals coming up, it will be a few weeks before I get to read it. Looking forward to this book, I love these two guys!

Just finished Candice deLong's book, Special Agent. It was about her twenty years' experience in the FBI. Now I am reading Hashimoto's Sunk. He was a submarine commander for the IJN during WW II and one of its few survivors.
