    Green Eggs and Ham, years ago, because books are for nerds! jk.
    I'm slowly trudging along the Wheel of Time series when I should be doing more professional reading.

    Shotgun Alley, crime fiction by the always-excellent Andrew Klavan. Currently reading The Mandibles: A Family -- a near-future dystopian novel by Lionel Shriver. Recommended!

    Reading "Lincoln in the Bardo" by George Saunders. I often read while on the elipse cranking out my cardio. Helps the time fly by.

    Speaking of time, I also read The Wheel of Time series. Nice choice, Cptbklee. Those books kept me immersed for hours and hours.

    I’m currently reading two books;I'm going back and forth between the two. Book one is “Tonight I Said Goodbye” by Michael Koryta. It’s a mystery novel set here in the Cleveland area so I couldn’t resist. I’m also re-reading “The Tao Te Ching” by Laozi.

    The Libertarian Reader by David Boaz. I've always leaned libertarian but the last election turned me into a card carrying, Kool-Aid drinking proselytizer...

    @Motorsheen I may have to read RETRIBUTION. My kind of history book. I have three relatives who were in the Navy and fought at Okinawa, including one who survived a direct hit by a Kamikazie into the ship he was on.

    I also have a son who was deployed to Okinawa and the main island of Japan with the USMC. The end of the Pacific War is an interesting place and time in history.

    Do yourself a favor and read Hastings' : armageddon / Germany '44-45'

    It's the best account of the war I've ever read in regards to the European theatre of World War 2.

    Also.... Goodbye Darkness by William Manchester is nails.
