[The Citizen Soldier]

First, I must say that my reading tastes are extremely eclectic, changing dramatically week to week by whatever has my attention at the moment. That said, here is my list of books read over the past 60 days with my rating (* being poor or waste of time, and **** being excellent and worth a reread in the future):

1.) The Circle by Dave Eggers ***
2.) The Auschwitz Escape by Joel C. Rosenberg ***1/2
3.) The Story of Edgar Sawtelle by David Wroblewski ***
4.) Iron House by John Hart ***1/2
5.) Bushville Wins by John Kilma ***
6.) The Book Thief by Markus Zusak ****
7.) Goat Mountain by David Vann **
8.) The Longest Ride by Nicholas Sparks ***1/2
9.) Winter of the World by Ken Follett ****
10.) Fall of Giants by Ken Follett ****
11.) And Then the Roof Caved In by David Faber **1/2
12.) The Talent Code by Daniel Coyle ****
13.) 11-22-63 by Stephen King **1/2

A few brief notes:

The final book in the Century Trilogy by Ken Follett will be released in September.

The Story of Edgar Sawtelle was an excellent read ...until the final 25 pages. I would definitely have given **** with a different ending.

Currently reading The Twelfth Imam trilogy by Joel C. Rosenberg. Half way through the first volume, and thus far it is a very good read, that, while fiction, is drawn right from the headlines coming out of Iran as I type.

Of that list, I haven’t read any of the books, and the only author I’m sure I’ve read is Nicholas Sparks. I read two of his books at a vacation house a couple of years ago, decided I didn’t care for them.
