My dad suggested I read “The Grand Jihad”. I haven’t gotten it yet, but it sounds very interesting. Has anyone read it yet?

Just finished the Jouster series by Mercedes Lackey. Didn’t like the beginning, but liked the ending. A friend loaned me Red Mars and the two sequels (Blue Mars, Green Mars), but I don’t have them at work, so I don’t know the author.

I finished The Overton Window by Glenn Beck a few days ago. I had trouble sleeping afterward.

Wow, I now have 103 books on my wish list at Amazon. I won’t have to worry about having things to read for a very long time.

Right now, I’m about 260 pages into the second volume of “The Civil War: A Narrative” by Shelby Foote. I like Foote’s writing because I think it’s sort of similar to mine (i.e.: lots of intermittent thoughts—like using two hyphens to throw in something of note similar to what I just did).

Of course, there’s always Phil Steele’s college football preview magazine. Have to keep tabs on everyone for my fellow FReepers.

3/4 of the way through “Innocent” by Scott Turow. Not bad so far, but I really enjoy Turow’s style. It is a sequel to “Presumed Innocent”, so having read that is a help.
