John Adams, halfway through, amazing book.
Just got Broke today though so I am going to speed through it since it's probably stuff I already know.
First 100 pages down, basic common sense history so far.

I've been reading Lee Child's Jack Reacher series lately...

Man, I'd vote for a Mitch Rapp / Jack Reacher ticket any day...

Have you picked up the new Mitch Rapp novel yet? Flynn is taking us back to Rapp's early days in the clandestine service.

I'll be picking up Where Men Find Glory: The Odyssey of Pat Tillman in the next week or so. It looks good.

Have you tried Daniel Silva's books? His Gabriel Allon series is very good stuff.

Cosmos by Carl Sagan & Guns, Germs, and Steel by Jared Diamond. Both excellent reads thus far.

I think I read one that I grabbed from the library... I did like it, so I'll have to look at the series more...

Fiction - rereading Moonfall by Jack McDevitt. Excellent Sci-fi author up to Polaris. After Bush was re-elected, he had a left wing loon meltdown.

Here is an online excerpt for Sci-fi lovers:

Yeah this is a fascinating treatment of one of the outstanding Americans of his time that makes you wonder how, from such a relatively (compared to today) small colonial population, were so many great characters produced without a public school system?

Ironically, Adams was one of the few of his day to be a proponent of public education.

Amazon.com: Inside War: The Guerrilla Conflict in Missouri During the American Civil War (9780195064711): Michael Fellman: Books​

This part of the Civil War is horrific reading in its detail: Something any American who feels any superiority over terroristic activities in A-stan should read.

I don't get the chance to read many novels, I started one Friday and finished it yesterday afternoon, [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Help-Kathryn-Stockett/dp/0399155341"]The Help[/ame]

From the Amazon link:

From Publishers Weekly
Starred Review. What perfect timing for this optimistic, uplifting debut novel (and maiden publication of Amy Einhorn's new imprint) set during the nascent civil rights movement in Jackson, Miss., where black women were trusted to raise white children but not to polish the household silver. Eugenia Skeeter Phelan is just home from college in 1962, and, anxious to become a writer, is advised to hone her chops by writing about what disturbs you. The budding social activist begins to collect the stories of the black women on whom the country club sets relies and mistrusts enlisting the help of Aibileen, a maid who's raised 17 children, and Aibileen's best friend Minny, who's found herself unemployed more than a few times after mouthing off to her white employers. The book Skeeter puts together based on their stories is scathing and shocking, bringing pride and hope to the black community, while giving Skeeter the courage to break down her personal boundaries and pursue her dreams. Assured and layered, full of heart and history, this one has bestseller written all over it. (Feb.)

It was so good! May be more of a 'chick' book, though deals in a novel way with the Civil Rights era, from a Southern perspective.
