I'm reading the very entertaining Niccolo's Smile: A Biography of Machiavelli

The Pilot's Wife was awesome.

I'm currently reading Divine Evil by Nora Roberts. I typically gravitate towards suspense and crime stories except for my stint with the Stephanie Myers books, which I thought were awesome.

Drowning Ruth by Christina Schwarz, an Oprah book club selection. I didn't choose it because of that but it's an interesting read so far. And then, The Somnambulist by Jonathan Barnes. Set in Victorian London, the reviews say it's fiendishly clever and funny w/ peculiar characters. I enjoy off the wall books. I recently finished several Carol O'Connell books that I really liked, Bone by Bone and The Judas Child. She writes beautifully!

The Southern Maryland web site has a section called Next Reads with 25 monthly newsletter choices. It's about 5-6 book recommendations in the genre of your choice. I've found several great ones through that.

The book was a million times better than the movie. You can't really even compare the two. I bet you a dollar you'll love the book.

Marian Keyes writes some good books.

I just got done with "Liberal Fascism" by Jonah Goldberg. I highly recommend that one if you like political history and/or are curious about why many conservatives are so staunchly opposed to the "Left". I think Democrats would even find this book interesting. He is very fair.

I am currently reading "An Inconvenient Book" by Glenn Beck right now. It's a fun book so far. It reads just like his personality. (It even has "ADD Moment" bubbles throughout the book). It is funny and interesting; blazing through this one really quick so far.

I will have to check out "Liberty and Tyranny". Anybody who calls Charles Schumer "Shmucky" can't be that bad.

I'm reading DISARMED: The Loss Of The Right To Bear Arms In Restoration England by Joyce Lee Malcolm.

I just finished “A Christmas Sweater” by Glenn Beck.

This is not a political book. It is a very good Christmas story about a pre-teen who discovers the true meaning of Christmas through his own mishaps and life lessons. This will be a classic.

I am currently waiting for “Liberty and Tyranny, Open Veins of Latin America, Animal Spirits, and The Big Three in Economics” to come in from Amazon.
