I'm reading Atlas Shrugged (for the third time) as the movie is coming out soon and I want to be fresh up on the book to compare it with the movie.

I have been reading, on the web, an Interview with Fletcher Prouty. He is one of the people who helped to set up the C.I.A. after WW11. Very interesting! (see link)

“The Lost Boys” on my MP3 player for when I walk the dog

“Absolute Zero” in paperback (I’m not real impressed with this book, it’s definitely a man’s book, but it’s not bad enough to pitch)

“The Tourist,” by Olen Steinhauer. If you’ve never read Olen Steinhauer, I highly recommend him, brilliant writer.

Democracy in America, by Alexis de Toqueville in a new translation by Arthur Goldhammer.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Just finished “New Deal or Raw Deal: New Deal or Raw Deal?: How FDR’s Economic Legacy Has Damaged America” by Burt Folsom and “The Forgotten Man: : A New History of the Great Depression” by Amity Shlaes.

After those two, I need some time off from depressing failed Democrap politics and the long-march take-over of America, so I’m enjoying “The Girl Who Played With Fire” by Stieg Larsson.

The Histories by Gaius Cornelius Tacitus

[SaxxonWoods]

Just finished “The Worst Hard Time” (Timothy Egan) about the Dust Bowl. Harrowing reading, it’s unbelievable the privations those people suffered.

Now reading “The War Of The Copper Kings” (G. B. Glasscock), about the early copper industry in Montana. Robber Barons unleashed!

Last week I read ‘The Fountainhead’ from cover to cover. Yes, all 694 pages of it—kids were on Spring Break! LOL

Now reading:

‘Almost a Crime’ by Penny Vincenzi—British author who likes to write big fat novels that are right up my alley (her ‘Spoils of Time’ trilogy was quite good)

‘Encyclopedia of Haunted Places: Ghostly Locales from Around the World’ by Jeff Belanger. I love ‘Ghost Hunters’ ‘Ghost Adventures’ and all those ghost hunting shows—my guilty pleasure in life ;)

‘Paul Revere’s Ride’ by David Hackett Fisher; nonfiction.

‘7 Events that Made America America’ by FReeper LS.

My husband just gave me back ‘Atlas Shrugged’ which he just finished reading recently. I read it many years ago, but I’m ready to read it again (I gave him the copy for his birthday in November).

“Turn Coat” - The Dresden Files - James Butcher.

[StrictTime]

"We Two: Victoria and Albert: Rulers, Partners, Rivals" by Gillian Gill, a biography about Queen Victoria and Prince Albert (duh!) and

"Henry VII: Mask of Royalty" by Lacey Baldwin Smith, another biography. This one seems to be a psychological study of King Henry VIII--interesting.

Just finished the Secret Garden. About 1/3 through Shoot Him If He Runs. It’s pretty awful, especially the scenese where 4 middle-aged men and women get naked for cocktails and sunbathing, while discussing the case at-hand.
