I tend to read a lot (sci-fi, fantasy, history, and so on) so I'm always curious to hear what everyone is reading right now.
I'm reading "Wizard's First Rule" by Terry Goodkind, before that was "Blood, Tears, and Folly" by Len Deighton and "Death Troopers" by Joe Schreiber.
Next!

My wife and I rented an Alex Cross audio book for a long car trip we took this past fall. It kinda got me hooked. Patterson is a great writer and Alex Cross is a great character. I plan on starting on the first of the series and reading them all in order.

| | | | I'm currently not reading anything, but the next book I read will probably be Transforming Leadership by McGregor Burns, which my girlfriend gave me a couple of months ago. Leadership and leadership theory are a big academic interest for me. I just wrote a Master's thesis on perceptions of transformational and transactional leadership.
I still need to read through my book by Robert Greenleaf on servant leadership.

I'm not reading anything right now, but I just ordered Larry Burkett's "The Illuminati" from Barnes & Noble last night. It sounds like an interesting story, so I hope it's good.
I read Raymond Khoury's "The Last Templar" a little while ago.
Not the best book, but it was decent.
I'm a big Dan Brown fan, so I read The Lost Symbol the week it came out. I liked it a lot. |

-- Bonfire of the Vanities - Wolfe
-- Pirate Latitudes - Crichton
-- Rereading King's "On Writing" now because of a thread yesterday
-- Will likely pick up King's "Under the Dome" because of this thread (thanks)
This month has seen more recreational reading, per se, than the prior 3 years combined for me. It won't last much longer. |
