America Alone, by Mark Steyn. It's a great read, a must read, actually. It's a chilling prediction for the future of the world, and I challenge anyone to point out where Steyn goes wrong.

When I'm home I'm reading Will Beall's
L.A. Rex. Will is my nephew and this is his first novel. He's an LAPD cop, now working homicide, but he spent 10 years on the gang and drug task force in South Central and those streets and that world are where his novel is set. It got picked as one of the top ten fall books by GQ and has already been optioned for a movie. Pretty gritty and rough. It's gotten great praise, including a great jacket blurb from the guy who wrote the Spencer for Hire books.
When I'm out and about I have David Weber's Honor Harrington series on my PDA as ebooks and I'm re-reading them in anticipation of the new one due next year. I just finished the 3rd one and am well into the 4th.

I am currently reading "Don't Shoot, it's Only Me!"
It's an autobiography of the career of Bob Hope. He gives it a subtitle, 'A History of Comedy in the Twentieth Century'.

You'd probably like "In Stalin's Secret Service" by W.G. Krivitsky. It's subtitled: "Memoirs of the First Soviet Master Spy to Defect." It's another look into the Communist penetration of our government during the FDR administration. It's available from used booksellers or libraries.
I read it in stupefied disbelief. Walter Krivitsky was assassinated by Soviet agents in a Wshington D.C. hotel room in 1941. Since 1918 or so he had been chief of Soviet Military Intelligence in Western Europe. While he did testify before the House Unamerican Activities Committee, the FBI didn't even bother to interview him! It's a fascinating look into Stalin's atrocities by a man who was an eyewitness and participant. It's also a blood-curdling account of the state of American denial about the true nature of Soviet Communism.

I'm reading America Alone as well. It is great.
