Finished "American Lion" by Jon Meacham last week. It was pretty good, more about Andrew Jackson's family and personal life while in the White House, so I'll have to find a good more traditional biography to read on him some time.

Finished "The Pirate King" by R.A. Salvatore last night. Another solid book in his long run series. Looking forward to "The Ghost King" this fall.

Will read "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" by F. Scott Fitzgerald next, then probably "Crime and Punishment" by Dostoyevsky. Taking advantage of public domain ebooks!

thinking about buying the farseer trilogy... you guys like?

Farseer trilogy was pretty good as i remember. I read it years ago though, so i don't know if my opinion would be the same now. I tried to read the liveship trader series by the same author and couldn't really get into it.

"D-day" by Stephen Ambrose, before that I read Watchmen for the first time.

I liked it alot but I believe its a total of 9 books - if I remember correctly.

Three trilogies together.

I was reading World War Z, but had to stop to study for the pcat. I'm going to start reading that again. After that one, I want to read Battle Royale since I loved the movie, and then Corline. I also want to start reading the True Blood books.

Just read "Restavec: From Haitian Slave Child to Middle-Class American", and damn was that depressing and messed up. Good book though.

World War Z is fantastic. And I've had the True Blood book set sitting in my Amazon cart for awhile now. The only thing holding me back is that I don't want the story blown for the HBO show. Speaking of books and HBO .. one of my favorite book series (The #1 Ladies Detective Agency .. anyone else read these?) starts as a show this weekend on HBO.

Instruction manuals, backs of cereal boxes, old issues of Entertainment Weekly, and some Chick Tracts.

In other words, I'm between books right now.

After almost a year, I'm finally finishing up my comic sci-fi anthology. I'd say it was 75% good stuff, 10% junk, and 15% ...what?

Needed way more Dr. Who quality stuff, though. The Day We Played Mars was a good start. My favorites are a toss up between the Forbidden Brides of the Faceless Slaves..., Colquitt's High Energy Trousers, Return of the Warrior, and Sweet Savage Sorcerer.

picked up "pride and prejudice and zombies" heres hoping for the best

Prelude to Foundation- Isaac Asimov

I'm having a midlife crisis or something. I used to read Hugo, Dumas, etc. but now I've been reading nothing but Ultimate Spider-Man.

Just finished Medstar 1: Battle Surgeons and I'm into the second book Medstar 2: Jedi Healer, both by Michael Reaves and Steve Perry.

Biggest Brother: The Life of Major Dick Winters

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: The Classic Regency Romance - Now with Ultraviolent Zombie Mayhem!

Can someone recommend a good post-apocalypse book (other than The Road or Oryx and Crake)
