What book are you reading right now?

I'm halfway through The Face of Death by Cody McFadyen - I can't recommend this highly enough.

Very well written and has an engaging story line. Can be hard to read sometimes if you have young kids.

Amazon:

A June 2007 Significant Seven Editors' Pick: Don't let the title fool you. Cody McFadyen's The Face of Death is not just another scary-as-hell serial killer novel (although it is that in spades). Drawing a chilling portrait of a child stalked by a serial killer seeking revenge, McFadyen's second novel is surprisingly moving, standing out in an already packed genre by focusing on victim Sarah Langstrom and her struggle to survive.

EDIT: Excerpt from the first chapter

The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam

Rereading actually. Takes balls to portray Islam as it really is, what with the threat of reprisals against the author for exposing it's inherent ugliness.

Age of turbulence by Alan Greenspan.

i'm about 25% done with the book and it's all starting to make sense now...

Alternating between Temeraire: Empire of Ivory by Naomi Novik, the first four volumes of Kare Kano, and an African American history book loaned to me by a friend that I was curious about.

I just finished that the other day. I like it a lot, but yes, it was getting long in the tooth after a few months of reading it on and off. I really couldn't stand Galt's 60-some page speech, for some reason.

I'm getting started on Hamlet, I suppose.

This post.

 

[imported_Imp]

Cultural Anthropology, Handbook of Structural Steel Design and Fundamentals of Geomechanics. Having to read this type of crap 8 months out of the year, it's no wonder I don't read for fun.

Tom Clancy/David Michaels- Endwar

bought it yesterday and almost done with it already. Pretty interesting.

About to finish Black Hawk Down.

Just went outside and see my shipment came in. I've been meaning to get Inside Delta Force for a while now but some others caught my eye, and with the Amazon 4-for-3 deal plus I wanted free shipping, I got 5 books for under $33 shipped!

Inside Delta Force
Warrior Soul - The Memoir of a Navy Seal
The Commandos
First In - An Insider's Account of how the CIA Spearheaded the War on Terror in Afghanistan
No True Glory - A Frontline Account of the Battle for Fallujah


They were all highly rated and recommended often for their respective topics. I will start with Inside Delta Force. I think that and some of the others I bought are the ones that are so hard to put down that you finish them in a couple of days. The Commandos is an older book so it's going to have some outdated information but I think it is a good primer to the various special forces groups.

[lokiju]

Night Watch and am also listening to The 7th Son on podcast/audiobook.

I recently finished Next by Michael Crichton which was alright.

 

[Batti]

7th Son was great! You'll enjoy that.

I'm reading "Searching for Robert Johnson".
