I read on and off. Subjects that interest me include history, military history, biographies, science, and good ol' Ken Follett novels.

    I stayed up until 3AM one morning to finish this book. While I didn't exactly enjoy reading it, it was without a doubt an engrossing read. A haunting book that will stick with me for some time.

  • The Odessa File
    • Rated 4 stars

    A damn good read with a wholly unexpected twist at the end. Forsyth effectively combines fiction with history to create a truly memorable tale.

  • The Billionaire's Vinegar
    • Rated 4 stars

    Absolutely fascinating tale of old wines and the people who spend outrageous amounts of money on them. Reads like a mystery up until the very end. I also learned a lot about wine in general from the book. Highly recommended!

  • Judgment of Paris
    • Rated 3 stars

    The first 1/2 of the book is great. However, the section after the actual famous wine tasting begins to ramble a bit. Read it for the stories of Mike Grgich and Warren Winiarski.

    Greatest book ever... unless you don't have a sense of humor.

  • Yeager: An Autobiography
    • Rated 4 stars

    Yeager is/was the man. His true life story is even more incredible than Sam Shepard's portrayal in The Right Stuff. A great read if you're a fan of the movie or are into WWII history.

    Probably the only book you need to read in regards to the events and history leading up to September 11th.
