It's time again for my quarterly "What Are You Reading Now?" thread!
It can be anything...a NY Times bestseller, a technical journal, a trashy pulp novel...in short, anything!
DO NOT answer by saying "I'm Reading This Thread". It stopped being funny a long time ago.
Here's what I'm reading. I'm just about finished with "Blockaders, Refugees & Contrabands: Civil War on Florida's Gulf Coast 1861-1865."
It's a very interesting book about how the US Navy was able to turn a substantial portion of Florida's Gulf Coast population against the Confederacy, creating a civil war within that part of Florida.
So tell me...what are YOU reading now?

Well, Surrender is Not an Option, Bible, Hail Holy Queen, God’s Politics (eegad, how I disagree with this guy on so many points) and Infiltration. Got a Kindle, and switch around depending on how many minutes I get to myself! Some are more difficult reads, of course. All are fascinating!
