Currently reading The Virtues of War by Stephen Pressfield. It's an historical novel of Alexander the Great's conquests. I've been interested in that period of history and after reading the "true" histories available, this book seemed like a good way to provide the drama histories tend to lack. Pressfield did a good job, a good read if you're into this kind of thing.

Currently waiting on George R.R. Martin's next offering in the Song of Fire and Ice saga. Good stuff if you're into fantasy at all and 4 thick books to read while awaiting the next installment.

Also have going From Dawn to Decadence by Jacques Barzun and am slowly but surely whittling away at Penguin's A History of the World.

I'm half way through February's "Pipe Collector" newsletter put out By "The North American Society of Pipe Collectors"... If you folks don't currently subscribe you're really missing out on a great read....

Best,
Dock

Presently half way through "I Love My Rifle More Than You". Very interesting tome about a former Female soldier and her views of having served in Iraq. Interesting.

I think it is fair to say that currently I am studying this forum and quite busy reading a billion posts. So much to learn, so little tobacco in my cellar.

Right at the moment I'm working my way through the Dark Tower series by Stephen King. A very good tale. Not very much like his other books and I think that is what I like about it.

Declare, by Tim Powers. Bought the book a few years ago, when he came to town on a book tour. Only now started it.
