A Northeasterner suddenly trapped on the other side of the country. I recently read my first work of fiction since the Tom Clancy days in middle school; I pretty much stick to history and politics when I'm feeling serious, sports books when I'm feeling lazy.
My shelf is a short-term list, just the books I've read/have had with me since I got to CA, with a couple of all-time favorites sprinkled in.
I tend to start a lot of random reading projects that I never finish. Current one: to read as many Pulitzer Prize winning books as possible.
Ones I've read:
An Army at Dawn - Rick Atkinson (History)
Founding Brothers - Joseph J. Ellis (History)
The Age of Reform - Richard Hofstadter (History)
Profiles in Courage - John F. Kennedy (Biography)
Arab and Jew - David Shipler (General Non-Fiction)
The Killer Angels - Michael Shaara (Fiction)
Advise and Consent - Allen Drury (Fiction)
The Caine Mutiny - Herman Wouk (Fiction)
