Great thread idea. I am reading a bunch right now (I love to read). Two books I just picked up and started are:

Lee Child: Bad Luck and Trouble
http://www.amazon.com/Bad-Luck-Trou...5049759?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1179539725&sr=8-1
I love Lee Child's books, great thriller/action/mystery, perfect read on a diving vacation too.

Bing West: No True Glory
http://www.amazon.com/No-True-Glory...5049759?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1179539934&sr=8-1
It is about the battle for Fallujah. A good friend of mine from H.S. died in Iraq last week, and there is supposed to be quite a bit about him in this book.

No true glory
Note to self, order it tomorrow.
His name? Or is it mentioned?...No matter, he died for a good cause despite what the media would lke people to believe. We all die, few die as heros.

In answer to Fish Whisperer's question, Brown died before completing his novel. It was published as an incomplete draft, lacking an ending. It's still a gift, as is.

Sorry to hear that, but wow... What a tribute to him, that it was published without being completed!

I'm sorry... My sincere condolences. I hope the book is just fantastic.

R. E. Lee volume 1 by Douglas Southall Freeman up next is volume 2 followed by volumes 3 and then 4. After that......

"E=MC2 A biography of the worlds most famous equation".

I'm not even sure why I picked it up when I was at the bookstore, but I got into it after the first few pages and its turning out to be an interesting read.

Right now I'm reading:

No Shortcuts To The Top by Ed Viesturs
The Valley of the Assassins by Freya Stark
Passionate Nomad, The Life of Freya Stark by Jane Geniesse
and lately I've been re-reading parts of the NOAA manual.

I tend to keep more than one book going at a time.
