    Reading "The Stalingrad Protocols", which is about the Battle for Stalingrad in WW2.

    The human spirit of the Russians in WW2 never ceases to amaze me.

    "The Boy Who Shoots Crows," by Randall Silvis, about a boy who goes missing in the woods. Silvis is an excellent mystery writer with exceptional character development, although the stories can be devastating. I also liked "Two Days Gone," by the same author.

    Well I finished "Ego is the Enemy" a few days ago. And to be honest, I would highly suggest this book to anyone.
    I'm giving it to my 21 year old to read. Some great stories of men and women who were very successful and how if they let their Ego in, would have been failures. It puts a great outlook on how to control and tame the Ego.

    Currently on the night stand I have two books, the first one is The Zookeeper's Wife by Diane Ackerman (a story about Warsaw zookeepers during the WWII) and the second is Most Dangerous by Steve Sheinkin (a story about Daniel Ellsberg and the secret history of the Vietnam War).

    Just re-reading Gravity Dreams by LE Modesitt jr. Have re-read it many times for something over 15 years.
    About truth and honesty and love, a relationship between two individuals set against a future world after the devastation. Technical personal superiority is the background, Ethics vs. morality; which is which?
