In the Woods - Tana French
Don't rush out to buy it. It wasn't great

Thanks -- i was actually looking at that today, and remembered your rec. I just finished The Tenth Insight by James Redfield

Mellon

Mellon by David Cannidine.

While it is intended as a biography of Andrew W. Mellon, the book is necessarily a history of the family, touches on some of the notorious Pittsburgh "robber barons" (e.g., Carnegie, Frick) and relates the origins of iconic American businesses such as Alcoa, Gulf Oil, Mellon Bank, and Carborundum. I'm on the home stretch and am enjoying it. Cannadine is, more or less, sympathetic to his subject.

[LoveHerMadly]

The Count of Monte Cristo ~ Alexandre Dumas

 

[jorgan]

book

just finished "Who's your Caddie?" by Rick Rielly......pretty good book.

Chapter on John Daley and Donald Trump had me laughing out loud
Chapter on Casey Martin had me all choaked up. Casey MArtin is the pro golfer who fought for, and won, the right to use a cart during a tournament due to a health issue with his leg. The story itself is increadible.

 

[TallAZguy]

Just finished "Crossroads of Twilight" by Robert Jordan. I love the Wheel of Time series.. it's book 10 in the series I think. Now I'm on book 11.

A little before that I read "Shogun" by James Clavell and LOVED it. I recommend that book to almost anyone.

 

[TallAZguy]

Oh and one more than I also just finished: Instrument Flying Handbook for my flight training.

 

[Shukaku]

I just finished re-reading Twilight by Stephenie Meyer.

 

[twosidesmeet]

Visions of Cody - Jack Kerouac, the last Kerouac book I had yet to read since I started reading him years ago as a teenager.

 

[ScootNKit]

Danse Macabre by Laurell K Hamilton

Reading that series too.

Just finished Obsidian Butterfly.

 

[Corbie]

The Family Trade--Charles Stoss. And just prior to that, The Politically Incorrect Guide to Global Warming and Environmentalism. (Clue, the global warming scare is just that. I remember 30 years ago when they were telling a new ice age was just on the horizon.)

 

[princessbear]

The Guy Not Taken by Jennifer Weiner.
It's a collection of her short stories and was very good, although I prefer her novels (Good in Bed, In Her Shoes, etc.).

 

[bsbrian]

Stormbringer by Michael Moorcock

 

[trysail]

The Last Mughal, The Fall of a Dynasty: Delhi, 1857

The Last Mughal, The Fall of a Dynasty: Delhi, 1857 by William Dalrymple.

This is a thoroughly researched, well-written, and readable account of the last Mughal emperor of Hindustan, Bahadur Shah Zafar II, a gentle man who became an unwitting victim of the Indian "Uprising" of 1857. British retribution was harsh, vicious and indiscriminate.

 

[RedCherries05]
