Revolutionaries by Jack Rackove. Great insight into our founding fathers and what eventually led to their founding of the United States.

Adam Carolla, In Fifty Years We'll All Be Chicks Great observational humor with a hint of curmudegonly anti-PC political commentary (without being overtly political) A great light read.

This weekend I'm reading Nick Hornby's Slam.
I like this writer,he keeps it light and humorous, but still has something to say about society today.Bjoernar
Um, all of them, any of them that have been in front of me over all these years....

Some time ago I read Richard Mason's "The Drowning People". I guess it will be the best and scariest book I read this year. Scary not in the sense of murderers behind each corner, but human behaviour and how jealousy can drive you to manipulate others. I would recommend it to anyone!

Just started the latest Harry Turtledove series, The War That Came Early. This one titled Two Fronts. An interesting take on alternate history, detailed by following a number of individuals from all sides of the conflict while detailing alternate paths of WW II. Slow reading, a lot of characters to keep track of but still riveting in my mind.
