Got Flight of the Nighthawks by Feist to read,first in The Darkwar trilogy.
Carrying on with the characters from Exiles Return :w00t:
Two years' vacation (Jules Verne)
Treasure island (Stevenson)
Hitler's War - David Irving (Excellent!)
Mythology - Edith Hamilton (Basic Greek/Roman with some Minor Norse thrown in, pretty good!)
Musashi - Eiji Yoshikawa, Trans. Charles S. Terry (Just started, translation seems to be very good, something different instead of the usual western literature I read.)
Do you read lots of books by holocaust deniers? :ermm:Quote:

I was a little annoyed when vol.5 (Wolves of the Calla) veered off almost uncontrollably into ridiculousness. Authors putting their own books into their own books is always a shite idea, but then suggesting I suspend belief over deadly plate-throwing women? Come ON!
In vol. 6 (Song of Suzannah) King put himself in there as a central character and I didn't like the book at all because of it.
Vol. 7 is a big improvement over the last two but I get the impression King has spent his effort on finishing the series before he either goes blind or gets run over properly. The result is that a great story has deteriorated somewhat.
These last three installments have been a disappointment for me, a huge SK fan.
At Risk - Patricia Cornwell
Fort Pillow - Harry Turtledove
Odd Thomas - Dean Koontz

Maximum Ride: School's Out Forever - James Patterson
Imposter - T Davis Bunn
Hour Game - David Baldacci
No, but I am indeed reading this book soley because of his status as a Holocaust Denier. I want to know what this man could have possibly written to be sentenced to three years in jail. Why listen to biased news sources when I can read it straight from the horse's mouth and form my own opinions? It's like asking the Catholic Church if The Da Vinci Code is a good book or not. I may be ~200 pages into Hitler's War, but I can already see if is a far better written and sourced book than great's like Shirer's The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich. Your statement bothers me because you seem to act like I'm doing something questionable or wrong. I was brought up to hear both sides of an argument and not form a biased opinion based on my personal beliefs. If I did I'd probably be a Bush supporter!Quote:
