I just finished it. I also finished a re-read of Snow Crash that's I've been working on for a few months. I'm now reading A Princess of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs. yet another classic I never got around to reading.

After finishing several series by Isaac Asimov, I am now reading 'The Idiot' by Fyodor Dostoevsky. The incidents of my having to re-read passages has increased dramatically.

Good luck

I am a huge Clive Cussler fan. I really enjoy Valhalla Rising, and I am reading it again.

"Drive" by James Sallis. I LOVED this movie but the book is nowhere nearly as good.

**Bowhnter** · 06-14-2012, 10:06 AM

Holmes on the Range by Steve Hockensmith. A Western with a Sherlock Holmes theme. The first one in the series.

"Looking for Rachael Wallace" by Robert B. Parker. Really like his books, especially this Spencer series!

Proust "A la recherche..." with English crib. I started it this month planning to read 10 pages per day and to finish by June 2013.

**O.G.** · 06-14-2012, 12:11 PM

Im reading the 17 Indisputable Laws of Teamwork. Pretty good so far and has helped my perspective for motiviting myself and others better to focus on the big picture.

I finished The Hunger Games and just started book two, Catching Fire.

**RSC** · 06-14-2012, 02:27 PM

W. Somerset Maugham, Of Human Bondage. About 80% read, and really enjoying this.

Im a huge fan. My favorite is either Diamond Age or Cryptonomicon. I'm thinking of picking up Reamde soon.

I'm finishing Eisenhower in War and Peace by Jean Edward Smith (2012). Readable, exhaustively researched and supported. One of the best books I've ever read on 20th Century history. Smith provides many facts regarding WWII and Ike's presidency that challenge our prior understanding. Highly recommended.
