The two books for me right now are "POSTWAR", A History of Europe Since 1945,by Tony Judt,and" THE THIRTY YEARS WAR",Europes Tragedy,by Peter H. Wilson. I am really enjoying both of them,but Mr. Wilsons book is a book I read at the computer so that I can research people and places as I read.

I started reading Tom Clancy's latest fantasy novel, Threat Vector, a week ago. I'm now about 40% through.
As always he's a fantastic story teller. And there is no way this book is going to be made into a motion picture. Not unless the world changes mightily in the next decade. He should NOT have made Jack Ryan President, although having his son more or less taking his place in the adventures semi-works. I can understand passing the torch. But making him President doesn't really work. |

I'm reading " Dye Trying" by Lee Child
The main character in this series is "Jack Reacher". It kind of kills me that they finally adapted one of these "Jack Reacher" novels to a movie, and cast F'in Tom Cruise as "Reacher". I will still support Lee Child, and go see the movie........ F-ing hollywood, they get most things of interest to me way wrong.... |

Listening to FUN AND GAMES by Duane Swierczynski. Fun but frustrating because the main character is (purposefully) a bit thick.

I just finished The Great North Road by Peter Hamilton. I realized a couple weeks ago that I'd been so involved writing my last book this last year I hadn't actually READ anything new in SF the whole time (well, unless you count MHI Legion).
It was a good read, but not as good as it could have been. It was like 950 pages and it should have been about 700. The guy seriously needs an editor. |

I just finished Stephen Hunter's latest Bob Lee Swagger book, "The Third Bullet".
Hunter's books have been sliding the last few years, but this one is a come back with a roar. This one concerns the assassination of JFK and a fictional view of how it could have happened. It's mysteries within mysteries, but Bob the Nailer figures it out, and as usual a lot of people are real sorry. There's lots of interesting technical gun information, and real people we know, thinly disguised. This one keeps your interest right to the end. |
