About to finish "The Beatles" by Bob Spitz. Fantastic biography of the group - their family histories, childhood, personalities and all the good, the bad and the ugly.

There was one part in the book I laughed out loud. When Brian Epstein was writing his autobiographical book, he was stuck on what to call it. Lennon suggested "Queer Jew."

I've got 4 others from Christmas I've read a chapter or two.

"33 Questions About American History You're Not Supposed to Ask" by Thomas E. Woods, Jr.

"The Language of God" by Francis S. Collins.

"The Politics of Life - 25 Rules for Survival in a Brutal and Manipulative World" by Craig Crawford.

"Clemente - The Passion and Grace of Baseball's Last Hero" by David Maraniss.

Normally I'd sail right through books but I'm taking a class at school, working full-time and putting in about 20+ hours of overtime at the hospital every pay period. It's very busy there these days.

Oh well, job security and all that.

I just finished Confessor, the final book in the Sword of Truth series, by Terry Goodkind.

I am currently reading Atlas Shrugged, by Ayn Rand. (Somehow, I never got around to reading it until now.)

I just finished two books by Elizabeth George; With No One As Witness and What Came Before He Shot Her.

Not a huge amount of choices here but these two were sitting around, and once I got going I was turning pages and losing sleep. Very good how the second ties into the first.

Dark Sun, by Richard Rhodes. I bought this book years ago after reading Rhodes’ riveting story of the making of the atom bomb (which won him a Pulitzer). I never could get into it then, but now that I am retired with “time on my hands” I am deep into it. Fantastic book — history, science, espionage, and all true. Rhodes is a gifted writer, and for anyone interested in the “atomic era” I highly recommend these books.
