Actually, I am reading a spy novel. Not too good, but a great time waster.

I am finishing up The Testimony of Two Men by Taylor Caldwell.It is the story of a doctor accused of crimes he did not committ set in the early 1900's. It is a good story and I remembered enjoying it. I had read this years and years ago--probably over 25 years ago and was stunned at the political predictions that she made that are now coming true.

One example where the main character says "We are a republic, but I fear we will slide into a democracy. A democracy slides into despotism."

Seriously; I am on the last book of David Gemmel's "Stones of Power" series.

I was halfway through "Shake Hands with the Devil," but I am taking a break from it. Before picking it back up I might reread "The Art of War."

Just finished Old Yeller. I read it to check it out for my tutees. It's just as sad decades later as it was when I was in 5th grade. Then we got the video, which is just as sad as it was before. Before that I read Where the Red Fern Grows, another sad dog book. It's good too.

It was a summer of Junior Fiction, which, imho, is THE BEST fiction around.

I have been reading "All His Jazz," a biography of Bob Fosse. I saw it at the library and since I have always liked the movie "Cabaret," I decided to read up on Bob.

I've been enjoying Robert Crais novels. I found him while waiting for the next Lee Child. :)
