I read that recently. That heady Lamar book sound like a thing to read soon.

If you liked Chris Kyle's book, check out Marcus Luttrell. I am sure you have heard of Lone Survivor, but he recently released a book called Service which is very good.

The Red Circle by Brandon Webb is also a great read.

An incredible book.  The accompanying documentary by Junger and Tim Hetherington, Restrepo, is good as well.  Sadly, Hetherington was killed by a mortar blast while reporting in Libya last year.

Im about 1/2 way thru book 5 of a Song of Ice and Fire by George RR Martin
This is the series Game of Thrones on HBO was based on.

I dont read a lot of fantasy stuff, but this must be a good series as ive read over 4500 pages of it.

I just finished The Wild Blue by Stephen Ambrose. It's about George McGovern and B-24 pilots in WWII.

I've just started Thurber, TX Life and death of a company coal town, by John Spratt


So far it's a great nonfiction story about him growning up there in the 20's.

Started the new Grisham "The Racketeer" so I'm gonna put the Clancy aside for a couple of days. The Grisham is a library book and the wife wants to read it after me.

It's all in the grind, Sizemore. Can't be too fine, can't be too coarse. This, my friend, is a science. I mean you're looking at the guy that believed all the commercials. You know, about the "be all you can be." I made coffee through Desert Storm. I made coffee through Panama while everyone else got to fight, got to be a Ranger.

Just plowed through all 3 books written to date of the First Law series by Joe Abercrombie, with a break in the middle for the latest Dresden Files book and shortly circling back to the Hours Heresy novels

That is a fantastic series.  I do have to say it starts to fall apart a bit the further you go, Martin has too many irons in the fire at this point or something.  He takes way to long to release the next books due.

I got tired of waiting for Dance with Dragons (I think it was like 6 years between A Feast for Crows and Dance with Dragons).  So I moved on to Memory, Sorrow and Thorn series from Tad Williams, and then to the Wheel of Time series from Robert Jordan (The problem with this one is Jordan died before he finished it, so another writer is finishing it... and still waiting for the last book).  Both are really good IMO, but I do like Song of Ice and Fire better.  I figure I'll just start the Martin books over again, and by that time maybe he'll at least have the followup to Dance with Dragons out.  Haven't seen the HBO series, but I've heard good things about it.

HBO is a good rendition, but, no spoilers here, the books have a lot more depth.
