American Gods by Neil Gaiman. Very good read! Will start on Solomon's Key after that. Does anyone know if Solomon's Key is a Dan Brown under a pen name.

I'm reading the Ted Dekker's Circle Trilogy (Black, Red and White are the books). Good stuff. More modern than my usual reading, but there's a lot going on to keep it interesting. There are elements of Christian allegory, fantasy, and modern suspense novel. It's a change of pace for me.

Also started reading O'Reilly Books "Security Warrior." I got it free at my office, as one of the authors used to work for my company. Pretty interesting if you are into hard core IT security.

An AWESOME book called "Smoking In Popular British Culture" by Matthew Hilton. I strongly recommend this book for folks with an intrest in tobacco literature from the turn of the century.....

Empire Falls, by Russo. Won the pulitzer prize a few years back. Falls into a local history category
being set in Maine and concerning small town life and times. I'm lovin' it.

Just started "American Gods" by Neil Gaiman. I have read it once before, but certain books and authors I will revisit if it really grabs me and I enjoy it. I have several I read over time to time as the mood strikes me.

Currently reading The Day of Battle by Rick Atkinson and The Annotated Sherlock Holmes, Just finished The Pipe Book by A Dunhill. Waiting in the wings is Brisinger by Christopher Paolini. After that my annual reading of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.
