I just reread Watchmen a couple weeks ago, and Maus is sitting in a pile waiting to be reread. Great stuff.

Currently reading "To Kill a Mockingbird." Read as a Freshman in high school, which, by my poor math, was about 22 years ago. Not as good as it is made to seem, in my opinion
Joshua 15:1
The Instruction of Ptah-Hotep & The Instruction of Ke'Gemni
Just finished two books by James Randi :
1)The faith healers
2)Flim-Flam! Psychics, ESP, Unicorns, and Other Delusions
Both highly recommended!

Maurice Garland Fulton - History of the Lincoln County War
Finished Blood Song, an excellent novel. Jumped right into book 2, The Tower Lord.
I'm finishing up Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn Trilogy. Fun books with interesting "magic" systems.
I have started reading book one of Greg Iles trilogy,Natchez Burning.
Empire Falls by Richard Russo
Reading: Two Treatises on Government by John Locke
Victory by Joseph Conrad.
Just finished Lord of the Flies, started Time Machine.
That is a worthy read.
Re-reading, for the umpteenth time in my life, ACD's Sherlock Holmes canon.
The one that started it all. I've read all the Ryan-verse novels except the new ones (anything past Teeth of the Tiger) at least 3 times.
Seveneves - new novel by Neal Stephenson.
Just finished "The Gardner Heist" by Ulrich Boser, about the theft of paintings from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum.
Starting with Red Rabbit, it seemed like somebody other than Clancy was doing the writing. Teeth of the Tiger was almost unreadable.

+2 on the deterioration of Clancy's novels, seemed the fatter they got and the more co-authors became involved the less readable they became.
Monday my library served up Greg Iles new book - The Bone Tree. Starting out well (though I don't recall much detail from the first in the series), kind of a mix between Harper Lee and a Grisham book I think, or perhaps just because of the Deep South overtones. Finished up Sandford's Gathering Prey first. That was good if you like the Lucas Davenport series - as always a quick read, this one takes place mostly outside Minnesota, much of it in Michigan's own UP .. first I had ever heard of a creature called a Juggalo, I mean, they're insane ..
