Besides numerous biographies of Juana la Loca, this is in my lunchtime readin' bag.

It's time again for my quarterly "What Are You Reading Now?" thread!
It can be anything...a NY Times bestseller, a technical journal, a trashy pulp novel...in short, anything!
DO NOT answer by saying "I'm Reading This Thread". It stopped being funny a long time ago.
Here's what I'm reading. I'm just about finished with "Street Without Joy" by Bernard Fall. It's about France's war in Vietnam from 1946-1954. Very interesting and tragic.
So, tell me. What are you reading now?
The Bible, Freerepublic, North American Windpower Magazine.
So am I! The abridged or unabridged version?
Just finished The Worst Hard Time. Non-fiction about the dust bowl.
Getting started on Street Without Joy.
Tom Clancy’s (my favorite writer) Patriot Games and Dead Sleep by Greg Iles (a great Mississippi writer).
The Last Jihad by Joel C. Rosenberg
The Worst Hard Time is one of the books I was thinking about getting.
How would you rate it?
THE KINGMAKER: How Northern Dancer Founded a Racing Dynasty by Avalyn Hunter.
America Alone is another book I am about to buy.
How is it?
I love Steyn’s writing.... love it...
A Michael Chabon book.
Augustine’s “The City of God”. It is tough reading, but it is good. A few years ago, inspired by my two sons’ attending a classical Christian school, I decided to start reading the classics for myself. I am finally reading the books I had formerly categorized as “only for really, really smart people”. So now I have “War and Peace”, “Moby Dick”, “Notes from Underground”, and others under my belt. And yes, I still indulge in a good novel occasionaly.
also, Merle's Door: Lessons From A Freethinking Dog by Ted Kerasote
Fiction: “Spy” by Ted Bell
Non-fiction: “Pledged: The Secret Life of Sororities”
To the kids: “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows”
On the ‘Pod: “The Four Hour Work Week”
Mags: InStyle, Rachel Ray Everyday, and Southern Living
Abridged... Bonanza Books. I look to it as a bible.. of sorts.

I’ve stopped reading until David Poyer’s KOREA STRAIT comes out in Nov.
(How’s that for a plug of an author?)
Accounting. Warren, Reeve and Duchac, 22nd edition.
Non-Fiction: America Alone, Mark Steyn
A good dovetail of subjects, now that I think of it!
