Always been my favorite time of year.

I started a thread of books in the Gen. Disc. forum.

I am getting ready to crack the cover of "The Battle for Italy" by Rick Atkinson. This book is around 1,000 pages and was delayed because he wrote a novel on the current Iraq War.

It's good having a brother who can hook you up with free Hardcovers.

Right now I'm reading The Bear and the Dragon by Tom Clancy.

Just got done readin Warpath Across the Pacific. Awsome book.

The Illustrated History of the 345th Bombardment Group During World War II
This is the history of the 345th Bombardment Group, the "Air Apaches" WWII Pacific service. Others reviews have called this book 'the finest history of an air combat unit ever published' . This distinction was earned from twenty years of research by the author, and honed during four editions of updates since its first publication in 1984. The scope of the research and writing go beyond the pilots and missions of the group, to the larger history and details of individual experiences. The book is a beautiful, hardcover 8x10 table top volume with dust jacket. The art direction and design are equally amazing - providing hundreds of photographs, captions, maps, paintings and detailed appendixes.

A friend of mine let me borrow his copy so I could read it. His grandfather flew with the Air Apaches as a radio operator/tail gunner. Some of you may know him by his ingame ID...IrishRed.

Having recently read 'Fiesta', I've bought 'A Farewell to Arms' and 'For Whom the Bell Tolls' by Hemingway, so hopefully I'll read them over the next few weeks.

I've ordered all 4 of the C'htoor Book by David Gerrold. Alien ecosystem kills most of the people and now they have to fight its higher life forms as the ecosystem takes over the planet. Gerrold has finished most of boosk 5 6 and some of 7. So catching up.

I haven't done a Clancy book in a very long time, its about time to read one again. Let me know how you like that one. The last thing I read of his was 'Red October' and man, its a far cry from the movie (yet both are quite good)

Well I finished the Clarence Thomas book in 3 evenings. It was really well written and pretty much ends with his confirmation into the court. I was hoping to read his insights into the more famous cases he's been a part of (2000 Election, etc).

I expected the Anita Hill to be a he-said-she-said affair. He maintains his view and I find it quite credible, based on how the media is eager to smear anyone appointed these days.

Overall an excellent read. The man overcame a lot and its something Id suggest to anyone who enjoys autobiographies.

While I've read a few since THFRO it's still been many years. I may pick up his latest.

Reading the new Honor Harrington book. What if Horatio Hornblower had a spaceship... (psst, they did that, and called him Captain Kirk) Ok, uh, he has a spaceship and fires missiles and nukes. (Yeah, Battlestar Galactica). Ok, fine. Instead of a dude, it's a chick, and she kicks ass. (....ok, you got me)
