I just started the Dresden FIles by Jim Butcher. Kind of Sam SPade meets Harry Potter. A rather enjoyable bit of fluff.
These days I'm reading a two-volume compilation of Raymond Chandler. The first volume has many of his "pulp" short stories. I need to stop messing around on the computer and read more books.
I'm reading a fascinating book called Infamous Aircraft, about aeroplanes (and airships) that weren't exactly a joy to fly under all conditions. Thoroughly enjoying it too.
OK, Doc, there's another book I have to buy. Gee, thanks! Anything that mentions the Tarrant Tabor is pretty much a must-buy.
I just started "Freedom From Fear" by David M. Kennedy, It's a history of the US from the depression to the end of WWII. The book is about five inches thick so it'll be awhile before it's finished.
I thought the movie was okay, until I actually read most of the book and saw it again, then I thought it was pretty poor. I got another movie version not long ago, I haven't watched it yet, it looked a little bit more accurate. But still not true to the book.
That one looks good so does this one http://amazon.imdb.com/title/tt0167565/ I think I'm going to have to pick up both of those.
I am reading "The Autobiography of Henry VIII" by Margaret George. I love reading anything about England's monarchs, and mysteries.
The Virgin Queen: Elizabeth I, Genius of the Golden Age by Christopher Hibbert. Also those trashy Phillipa Gregory books - love those.
