    2 books at the same time, depending on what room I'm in....American Sniper ( I am a believer in book before seeing movie, which comes out next week) and You Lost Me: why young Christians are leaving church.... Both are interesting and the second, I think, pertains to most religions, certainly Judeo-Christian religions, because it discusses the avaibility of information sources that young (under 30) people have besides their parents that lead them to rethink things, and find comfort in less confining groups.

    I just finished American Sniper for Kindle on my Nexus 7 yesterday and it breaks my heart to think of what happened to such a great, patriotic, humble man. I hope to see you in heaven Chris Kyle.

    "Flight Engineer Trilogy" Three books by James Doohan; "Scotty" from Star Trek

    The Rising
    Flight Engineer
    The Independent Command


    Books by "Scotty" James Doohan
    All are a good read if you are looking for a way to spend a few hours of time. Mankind vs Aliens and religious fanatics. A wartime romance if you will!
    Former space fighter jock lost a hand and received a new prosthesis but cannot fly. He becomes a Flight deck Engineer and the three books are proof that he did not lose his skills and quick thinking.
    Good place to buy books at the site reached by the link.
