About 3 chapters into - " Imposter" by Bruce Bartlett - about how George W. Bush bankruped America. Bartlett actually worked in Treasurey for H W Bush and during W's first term AND he is a Republican, so he knows of what he speaks. I am finding it disheartening how we ended up in this mess we are in right now.
Are you enjoying it? I gave it a shot and absolutely could not get into it. I was so disappointed. I still have it but it is not calling to me. Perhaps it gets better or maybe I was just not in the mood for that style of writing. I plan to give it another try in a month or two after I read The Girl in the Italian Bakery and this mammoth Stephen King novel and a couple of others I have.
I'm halfway through "In the Company of Soldiers" by Rick Atkinson. Its a good read from a former Washington Post reporter who was embedded with the 101st Airborne during Gulf II. He was with the HQ group that included Gen. David Petraeus - gives a lot of insights as to how his mind works.

I read that though he only had the final three manuscripts done, he actually had outlines for more books that were not written yet....I can't remember how many there were supposed to be in the series, maybe 9 or something like that.
I am hoping they find someone else to write them.
I finished Dragon Tattoo and as a PP noted couldn't put it down. I'll wait for the second to come out in paper. Hopefully, another writer will continue with this great series.
I want that one so bad - but having already exceeded my annual budget by nearly half a thousand dollars, I figure I won't be able to afford any more books until about next June! Have to see if I can talk my brother into getting it for me.
Just wanted to let everyone know, I was able to talk my brother into buying this for me - now I just have to wait for FedEx to give him a load out this way so he can bring it to me! (He's a driver for FedEx)

I guess this is the book to the movie I saw in the theater yesterday. Great movie so the book must be a page turner!
My post will probably be deteted because I am the author of this book.
It seems that by talking about it, it is considered advertising but I would love to hear from anyone who has read it.
It's an autobigraphy with particular attention to my 11 years in the Legion Parachute Regiment.
Can you tell us something about it?
I haven't read it, but might if I could find out more about it.

I have tried The Book Thief as well, but I could not get through it. A couple of friends have told me that it was one of the best books that they have ever read, so I keep looking at it sitting on my nightstand and wondering what I am missing.
I am currently reading Marked from the House of Night series. My 13 daughter wants to read it, so I am pre-reading it to see if it is appropriate. So far, not so much.
