What books are people currently reading? Any particular fiction or non-fiction of note? Any recommendations from some recent reads?

I just downloaded the novel Hunter by Robert James Bidinotto for my kindle. It's an indie novel and has received good reviews on Amazon. Will report back once I finish up.

Ameritopia by Mark Levin - a must read if you want to understand the philosophical underpinnings of statism, as compared with individual freedom. Excellent for right now!!!

Just finished King Rat by James Clavell. It’s an old book, but I highly recommend it. Just started The Kite Runner, so far very good.

I just read The Hunger Games Trilogy. Not profound, not even great, but I thoroughly enjoyed the dystopian fiction. Fun!

I am reading “The Great Chief Justice: John Marshall and the Rule of Law” right now, and it isn’t as fun as the above, but it is interesting.

I have to intersperse the books I read-—light/heavy etc. Otherwise, I would not be the cheerful optimist and fun person that I am ; ) ....

I just finished The French Revolution by Thomas Carlyle. I wanted to find out how much damage a small number of motivated leftists could cause when they riled the masses. It turns out, they can cause quite a lot.

I don't recommend this book over other histories of the period. It was published in 1837, so the style and language can be difficult to comprehend. I read it because it was already in my library.

I am reading John Grisham’s The Litigators. Of course it is good. He is the best author in America, probably the best in American history.
