I am originally from Michigan but now reside in Tennessee. Having served in the US Army for several years I really enjoy reading Military History books, both fiction and non-fiction. I like all eras of military history from the dark ages through modern times on into what the future might hold. Still, I do try to read other books from...more »

    Dang!!! You read a lot of books. I have only read a couple this summer. I did start rereading some of my "Harry Potter" books though. Aunt Sue says "HI".

    Sorry- I haven't gone on this site in ages. I added some books to my list. I loved "The Book Theif" that you suggested. Great summer reading.

    Chris,

    I am working on Red Seas Under Red Skies. Excellent, I've got about 100 pages to finish and I can't wait to see what happens. Looks like "Republic of Theives" comes out in February and he's got 2 novellas coming out in May next year that are prequel-type stories: (per Wikipedia) The first two are entitled The Mad Baron's Mechanical Attic and The Choir of Knives. Gollancz will be releasing them in an omnibus edition entitled The Bastards and the Knives in May 2009. Lynch later announced that, due to an email he received from an Australian fan, at least the first novella would concern Locke and Jean's acquisition of a cask of expensive brandy, set before The Lies of Locke Lamora....

    Chris, without a doubt Nigel Tranter was one of the best. It was his series on Scottish history that got me hooked on the Historical Fiction genre. My local library only had a few of his novels in and now they have the whole suite.
