The Biggest Brother, the life of Major Dick Winters, the man who led the Band of Brothers. By larry Alexander. Great read so far.
Link at Amazon (did JB88 figure this out yet?) (http://www.amazon.com/Biggest-Brother-Major-Winters-Brothers/dp/0451218396/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1213719766&sr=8-1)

It'd been a while, so I'm reading through the Lord of the Rings again.
I'm also reading Beowulf (the REAL one, not a modern novel adapation of the utterly horrible movie :furious).

I hate fiction. I think I burned out on fiction in the 80's with Steven King novels.
Anyway, currently reading "SAS Survival handbook" and "Hidden Hawaii" and a handfull of self-improvement Project Management books from time to time (like when I'm taking a crap)

I'll be reading Hans-Joachim Marseille; Life Story of the Star of Africa by Franz Kurowski once it arrives...

I reread "Point of Impact" every 5 years or so. Great book, wish the movie could have been a little truer to the character.

I just started reading some zombie books.. I just finished the second in a "morningstar" series that starts with "plague of the dead"... great, fun read. "city of the dead" is also great but never lets up.. there is no place to put the book down.
Another good read is "house to house" a very intense firsthand look at the falujah fighting in iraq..

It was still a pretty good movie MT. Some changes had to be made to keep the main character current. So Bob Lee Swagger couldn't be a Vietnam war veteran.
Man....I would have LOVED to have seen this made ten years earlier with Tommy Lee Jones playing Bob Lee! ;)

Been reading a lot of kids books lately, with the boys out for the summer. Read Escape to Witch Mountain the other day... Jim Bowie: A Texas Legend, as well as a slew of picture/info books on snakes, spiders & any other creepy-crawley things.
-
Picked up "The Road To Reality" by Roger Penrose in the bargain bin. The title is a bit arrogant but it's pretty good.

You might enjoy these. They are a ripoff of the Romero stories but I enjoyed them.

texasmom, the best novel I ever read about Jim Bowie was entitled "The Iron Mistress" by Paul Wellman, and it was later made into a movie starring Alan Ladd. Bowie's family once owned land within a few miles of my home town. His brother is buried in a small church cemetery at Halley, Arkansas.

I'm reading a Biography of George Orwell by Christopher Hitchens.

I picked both of those up in a bookstore in the airport in Atlanta last week on the way to Vancouver and haven't had a chance to start reading them yet.

I am re-reading a few Star Wars novels and just saw a book last night on my son's bedside table called "Football Genius" (its a kids book but I got hooked into it about midnight when I couldn't sleep). Also reading the SAS Survival guide book since it was my father's day gift to me a few weeks ago.
