OK everyone, it's time for my quarterly "What Are You Reading Now?" thread.
I'm posting this a few days early because of the Labor Day weekend. I like to get as many responses as possible.
Well...? What are you reading now?
It can be a technical journal. It can be a trashy pulp novel. It can be a a best-seller or a travel guide.
I'll start. Right now, I'm finishing "One Soldier's Story: A Memoir" by Bob Dole.
What a great book. I encourage everyone to read it - even if you felt Bob Dole was a sell-out to conservative causes. I believe he would have made a great President!
Next week, I'm starting "Breaking Point: The 1995 Quebec Referendum" by Mario Cardinal. This one looks to be fantastic.
OK fire away! What are you reading now?

I've just started "A Patriot's History of the United States." I'm a history buff and I've learned new stuff from this book. Kudos to LS!

I need to start getting up earlier. Early meetings and maybe the traffic will be better.
What about you? You're missing your beauty sleep.

"The Nightmare Years" by William Shirer. I've been wanting to get to that one. You might also enjoy Shirer's Berlin Diaries, a great read.
