Any book readers?

Whatcha reading lately?

I just picked up "You: The owner's Manual" book writen by Dr Oz (he's on Oprah from time to time).  Excellent read for us health nuts  

I also found "Yeager" in paperback for $4.95.  I remember reading it when it first came out ages ago and loved it.  His second book, all about his fishing adventures, was a real snore.

I'm reading "The Plague" again.

I think most AH'ers only pickup books with big pictures in em...

I'm just finishing "Losing Bin Laden" about the failures of the Clinton admin and the many chances they were given to remove Bin Laden but chose not to.

"Gettysburg:  Battle & Battlefield"




Very few pictures.



Easy read.

Yesterday I picked up "Lone Survivor."  Was done with it before bedtime. It was awesome.

Also, reading "Here is your war" again by Ernie Pyle

Also, "Galileo's Daughter" Dava Sobel ~ which is really good. Problem on that is that I skip around too much within the book. I think I'd enjoy it more if I started at the beginning & went all the way through.  "Longitude" by her is a wonderful book as well.

Just finished book 16 of the Aubrey & Maturin series by Patrick O'Brien (re-reading the whole series for a third time, it's that good). If you recall the movie "Master & Commander"... this is the book series the movie was loosely based on. EXCELLENT reading.

Today I'm going to pick up the Zombie Survivial Manual, because I'll be damned if I'm going to be caught unprepared.

Environmental Regulation--by a bunch of boring guys
Trademarks and Unfair Competition--by a bunch of boring guys
Basic Federal Income Tax Law--by a bunch of boring guys
Agency, Partnership and Limited Liability Entities--by a bunch of boring guys.

Pretty heavy, pretty dense stuff. Pretty light on plot but oh the detail... The excrutiating detail. A little on the pricey side.

I wish I had a bullet and a gun to load it into.

Darwin's Black Box and Genetic Entropy & the Mystery of the Genome
The system of the world
I'll be ordering a lot of this list over the coming months

Haven't had much time to read recently... Otherwise I'd have these too:
Barsoom series
All the Clarke stuff I haven't read yet, incl. Rama, Childhood's end
The Hitchhiker series
Book of skulls and Time of changes - Silverberg
Iain Banks' stuff at random (recommended as great)
Finishing Catch22 (hoping there's a good syntaxical end to the endless nonsense)
Random stuff by Hume, Locke, Liebniz, Feynman, and others I can't recall off hand
All the obscure references I picked up on this forum, others, and in everyday conversations
Atlas Shrugged
...
I mostly spend my time reading up on space and science on the internet, it's a PITA to be reading a good book, only to have to put it down.

i just got finished reading "NIGHT" by Elie Wiezel. Its a very good book. But it is only 120 pages, only about 4 hours of reading but I would still recommend it.

Turner Diaries never gets old.

I read a lot, maybe 3-4 books a week sometimes.  Right now, I'm re-reading Crazy Ivan by Craig & William Reed.  It's about the life of a sub-diver in the cold war, non-fiction.

To air is human, to HeO2 is divine.

ChickenHawk,

It's one of my favorite series, but I'm feeling the itch to try something new in the same vein. Any recommendations? The only other Royal Navy novels I've heard of are the Horatio Hornblower ones.
