Saw a HUGE history of the US NAVY in Costco this afternoon. Almost bought myself a Christmanst present...
Michael Crichton also has a new book out called, "State of Fear." I like his stuff a lot and that book is on my wish list.
Worse comes to worse, go to Barnes & Noble and get a gift card.

State of Fear, by Michael Crichton, as covered by John Stossel on Fri. night's 20/20: http://abcnews.go.com/2020/story?id=316580&page=1
"The Enemy Within" by Michael Savage
Do any of the people like Alternative history?
The series by Harry Turtledove is very good, starting with "How Few Remain" and going up to WW2....
He also wrote "The Guns of the South", a story in which the CSA gets the AK-47 in 1864.....
Or anything by Michelle Malkin or Ann Coulter.
From Amazon.com reviews:
"[Author] Natan Sharansky has lived an unusual life, spending nine years as a Soviet political prisoner and nine years as an Israeli politician. ...
"When there is every reason to doubt that freedom will prevail in the Middle East, this book declares unequivocally that the skeptics are wrong. The argument advanced here makes clear why lasting tyranny can be consigned to history's dustbin if the free world stays true to its ideals. The question is not whether we have the power to change the world but whether we have the will. Summoning that will demands that we move beyond Right and Left and start thinking about right and wrong."
Hmmm. Let's see:
Non-Fiction-
The Memoirs of Hector Berlioz
Titan (The Life of JD Rockefeller) by Ron Chernow
Roosevelt: Champion of Freedom by Conrad Black
Hitler's Table Talk
Fiction-
The Necroscope Series by Brian Lumley
The First Circle by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
The Best of H.P. Lovecraft
Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Novels and Stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
Last Full Measure by Jeff Shaara
In The Arena: An Autobiography by Charlton Heston
The Complete Peanuts 1950-1952 and The Complete Peanuts 1953-1954 by Charles Shultz
I suspect I might see this under my tree from my aunt and uncle (a piece of correspondence got misdirected to my house instead of theirs), but who knows?
THE HEAVENLY MAN about Pastor Yun paperback is a great rapid read. Very dramatic; moving, touching. Has comments by co-prisoners and family members--especially wife. Miracles are verified by fellow prisoners.
ATTACHMENT by Dr's Clinton and Sibcy is an absolutely great book about attachment flaws in childhood and resulting adult pathologies, craziness. More importantly, it has a great list of things to do to overcome such complications in living.
I have some other suggestions but not coming to my sleepy mind at the moment.
I just now saw your intro about no children's books. However, I think you will forgive me when you take a look at Angel in the Waters.
What's a good book to send someone in jail?
For any of the following groups:
-J.R.R. Tolkien/LOTR fans
-Fantasy/Sci-fi fans in general
-Christians
-Conservatives in general
-Folks who have read/enjoyed anything by Ayn Rand and/or George Orwell and would like to read something from those same writer's times for comparitive purposes.
I recommend C.S. Lweis' "Space trilogy" of novels:
1. Out of the Silent Planet
2. Perelandera
3. That Hideous Strength
Great reading!
