Right now - The Aviators by Winston Groom. It's a history of aviation during the inter-war period, focusing on Eddie Rickenbacher, Jimmy Doolittle, and Charles Lindbergh, and it's really well written.

I've read all of the Game of Thrones books (long but worth it), all of the Jack Reacher books, and all of the Harry Dresden books by Jim Butcher, but my all-time favorite books are the Aubrey-Maturin series of historical naval fiction by Patrick O'Brian, and the Horatio Hornblower books by C. S. Forester.

Well I'm about 2/3 through "Gone Girl" by Gillian Flynn. It started a bit weird, but now all the plot is out and the characters are unravelled it's got very good and tense and steamy.

I've started on a history book as well. I always wanted to find out more about the French Revolution so here we go....

Pretty good. I'm listening to the audiobook, and the fake cowboy accent the narrator is using can be a bit much, but the story is good.

I read everything. If it's near me.....I'm gonna read it.

I haven't read any novels in a long time now though. The internet is my preferred reading these days.

I'm old fashioned! I just love paperbacks....could it be the smell of freshly printed paper...must be a distant childhood memory ;)

Just finished reading this last night. Learned a ton of new facts about the attack. What those people went through. Good read. IMG_20170619_205741278.jpg
