I just finished Anthony Bourdain's Kitchen Confidential and I'm in the process of re-reading Neil Stephenson's massive Baroque Cycle.

I love those Wordsworth's Classics. Enjoy the quality reading and have a great vacation Sam.
Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert Pirsig. Great read, one of the 2 books I read every year. The other is Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People.
Lawrence in Arabia
War, Deceit, Imperial Folly and the Making of the Modern Middle East
by Scott Anderson

I'm about to finish "Atlas Shrugged", by Ayn Rand.
The BFG by Roald Dahl.
Actually I'm reading it to the kids and I'm definitely stumbling my way over some of the made up words.

I read this earlier this summer. Some of it is really good, and some of it is really monotonous.
As a Navy vet and a fan of sailing ships, I liked it. I did leaf through some of the pagers to speed things along.
I began reading On Writing by Charles Bukowski

I saved your note about Ian Toll's "Pacific Crucible" so when I was cruising the online library stack looking for that one, I found "Six Frigates" so I thought I'd start at the beginning of the Navy not halfway through the story.
Not far into it yet... just got to Tripoli last night before sleep.

Crime and Punishment is my favorite Dostoevsky
I was so impressed with that book. I had expected it to be some sort of dated self help drivel, but it's an exceptionally well written and we'll thought out book that's as relevant today as when it was written.
I just finised Words of Radiance and now I'm on to Salvatore's Companions - the Sundering. So far it's not great but I've been told that it's worth sticking with. Sort of a "good enough" series to hold me over while I wait for the next book from Sanderson or Martin or Rothfuss.
Have you read the other Drizzt books? I can't imagine jumping into Companions without any context. It's a long series, so it has the occasional lull for a book or two.
Until this month, I had never read a full Stephen King book. After 3 in quick succession, I'm headfirst into that rabbit-hole now. The man can tell a tale, that's for sure...
So having read "The Shining", "Thinner" and "The Dead Zone", I figure why not another? Next up, "Pet Cemetary".

I actually have not. I picked this up on a whim, but perhaps I'll put it back down for now and start at the beginning.
I recently finished Girl From Above: Falling by Pippa DaCosta. It is a short story, basically a prequel to the four book series. While a quick and easy read, I didn't find that it added much to the story.
Just finished The Dark Army. Follow up Series to Spooks/The last Apprentice Series. Pretty climactic finish. The next book should be good...
Just finished Anne Perry's Blind Justice, my first read of one of her Monk novels. Enjoyed it immensely.
I am now in a re-read of The Fellowship of the Ring.
