Just finished the book on Women Heroes Of World War ll-- excellent!

Now to dig into some older books lying around which I've always loved.

Steinbeck and Gladys Taber (love all of her Stillmeadow books)..

It's fun to look inside old books and see the notes people have left.. or look at the destruction of one Miss Weenie on my Taber book from the library book sale, years ago... and the old stamp posted due dates.

Stilled mired into Malazan Book of the Fallen by Steven Erickson. I am on Book 3 of a 10 book series. I may need a break in a few books just to read something different. Great series though.

I've spent the last month going through reloading books. Not what I would call exciting but it is important to say the least.

Speer Reloading Manual 14
Lyman Reloading Handbook, 49th Edition
Modern Reloading Second Edition
The ABCs of Reloading

Getting closer though to getting back to more imagination inspiring books soon though.

The Satanic Verses - Salman Rushdie
If you haven;t read this, don't bother. Dude was definitely into some really heavy rope by products when he created this abortion.

I'm reading Percy Jackson series right now. I'm at the fifth book already. I'm excited to find out what happens in the end.

I'm planning to read The Perks of Being a Wallflower next. Does anybody know if it is any good?

Tom Kratman - CALIPHATE.
A little over a hundred years in the future. The mid east is a desert. Europe is the new caliphate. America,in self defense went imperial. Pretty good read. Kind of gives one seriously to think though. Danang, I think you would like this one. Really sobering is the afterword, with an analysis of what is currently happening demographically in Europe.
