Well, it's time again for my quarterly inquiry for "What Are You Reading Now?".
It can be anything. A classic novel. A technical journal. A trashy pulp novel. A best-seller. Please DO NOT defile this thread with a unfunny reply such as "I'm Reading This Thread".
I'll start. I'm reading "Backlash: The Killing of the New Deal" by Robert Shogan. A interesting and easy read about how Roosevelt's court-packing scheme as well as labor union troubles helped to derail his plans for explanding the New Deal.
Well, what are you reading right now?
Luke. Just finished II Kings.
I have started Union 1812: The Americans Who Fought the Second War of Independence , by A. J. Langguth who wrote the earlier book Patriots some years ago.
I have quite a few others I am in the middle of but not reading straight through, such as Freehling's second volumn of The Road to Disunion subtitled Sucessionists Triumphant and the new book that Pope Benedict has out plus a collection of his writings.
I have also picked up a good collection of Woodsworth's Poetry and am trying to get a little of it done each weekend before I start the summer plan for Milton that will probably not get underway until Fall. Both of these are great language artists that can have long portions read aloud (in private, of course) to really get the full language impact of these giants.
Business travel is kind to me in providing time where little else can be accomplished other than reading.
I also just noticed that Thomas Sowell's Basic Economics is out in a new third edition and I will probably put it on the list.
Another surprise I have found is Unstoppable Global Warming (Every 1500 years) which is terrific.
Re-reading “Podkayne of Mars” by Robert A. Heinlein
Reading “Main Street” by Sinclair Lewis
“Pearl Harbor” by Gingrich & Forstchen
2 Timothy is one of my favourites.
Song of Susannah, Book Six in Stephen King’s Dark Tower series.
This looks very interesting - I had not heard of it before.
I think I’ll pick up a copy.
He does do a good job of debunking the environmentalists view of the Amazon basin as pristine forest.

ARE WE LIVING IN THE END TIMES by Tim LaHaye & Jerry Jenkins
CHINA'S CHRISTIAN MARTYRS by Paul Hattaway
THE COPPER SCROLL by Joel C Rosenberg--recently finished. All his tend to be page turners. His nonfiction on the MIddle East are also great. Others good by him: THE LAST JIHAD, THE LAST DAYS, & THE EZEKIEL OPTION. EVERY PROPHECY OF THE BIBLE by John F Walvoord
A DIVINE REVELATION OF HEAVEN by Mary K Baxter [Didn't read all of the A DIVINE REVELATION OF HELL--we have plenty on earth in some respects]

FROM IRAQ TO ARMAGEDDON by Keith Intrater

ISRAEL THE CHURCH AND THE LAST DAYS by Keith Intrater & Dan Juster

THE RAPTURE by Tim LaHaye
WITNESS TO ROSWELL by Thomas J Carey & Donald Schmitt
All ofthem are worthy reads.
A couple of weeks ago, Bugliosi was on Michael Medved’s show.
Apparently, his book is supposed to shred any and all possibilities that Kennedy’s assasination was a conspiracy.
It look s like a long but interesting read.
I'm curious about what they thought of it ?
An old Tom Clancy, “Rainbow Six”, which, since I like to read in bed is a real challenge - given its weight.
halsey’s typhoon
sea cobra (another book about the typhoon)
inferno (july 43 bombing campaign by raf and usaaf that destroyed hamburg)
guns, germs, and steel
the battle of heligoland bight (ww1 north sea naval battle)

on the list
books 26 and 27 alexander kent bolitho series

This thread.
That's right...
You'll show them...
You won't read.
