Been doing a lot of reading lately... started and finished a short story by Brandon Sanderson called Firstborn -- nice little read. I also read Warbreaker and Elantris by Brandon Sanderson. Would like to see some sequels to these books -- I thought they were both very good.

Also read Containment by Christian Cantrell an SF novel about the first colony on Venus. And I read Treason by Orson Scott Card. This was an early work from Card that he touched up a bit before publishing.

Now I am trying to decide whether to read The Great Santini or The Count of Monte Cristo... Tough choice :-)

Just finished Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. Had never read it before and had heard good things about it. Picked up a hard copy for a quarter at a garage sale. Good read.

Just finished The Shia Revival: How Conflicts Within Islam Will Shape the Future by Vali Nasar. It gives a good historical perspective about why there is tension between Shias and Sunnis. Lots of insight about Iran's rise as a regional power.

Now, I'm about half way through Fall of Giants by Ken Follett. Really enjoyed his sagas about 12th and 14th century England. This is his first of a three book series that follows several fictional families from just before WWI to the Cold War. So far, it's great read.

Any comments on that one? I just picked up a couple Flynn books. Not bad for thriller pop fiction.



Currently I am reading "The Looming Tower" by Lawrence Wright - It is his analysis, based on interviews over many years on the road to 9/11, its justifications and impact.

I am just starting it, about 1/3 done so far. It ts MItch's early life. So far I like it, but I have liked all of them.

Just finished 'Consent to Kill' by Vince Flynn. After I finished it I found out it was book #6 in a series of books. Waiting for #1-5 to arrive now.

That's my favorite and they plan to make a movie based on it! I'm excited!
don't worry about where you start, they all weren't in chronological order anyway I found out.
