On the tail end of my second read-through of Stephen R. Lawhead's King Raven Trilogy.

Dreadnought: Britain, Germany, and the Coming of the Great War by Robert K. Massie
The Changeling Sea by Patricia A. McKillip
Helix by Eric Brown - just started it after picking it up from the library; after reading the Amazon reviews, I'm prepared for disappointment.
Winter Song by Colin Harvey - another pickup from the library shelf, I quit after less than 100 pages (too much of the erotic in it for me, and it's a bad adaptation of Icelandic culture).Veritas vos Liberabit<>< Learn Greek <>< Look here for an Orthodox Church in America<><Ancient Faith Radio

I read The Cygnet and the Firebird a long time ago. That's the only one I recall off-hand (I still have a copy, so I liked it well enough back when I read it).Veritas vos Liberabit<>< Learn Greek <>< Look here for an Orthodox Church in America<><Ancient Faith Radio

Took a break from some heavier stuff.
The Slow Regard of Silent Things by Patrick Rothfuss - this shouldn't work (as the author admits in the foreward), but it does. It's a week-long look inside the world of Auri from the Kingkiller Chronicles. There's little action, and only incidental contact with other bit characters, and there's no denouement.
I was hooked.
I also discovered Bernard Cornwell, and read Sharpe's Triumph, Agincourt, and am working through The Archer's Tale (and have the rest of that trilogy on tap).Veritas vos Liberabit<>< Learn Greek <>< Look here for an Orthodox Church in America<><Ancient Faith Radio

My father-in-law got me Stephen Ambrose's Band of Brothers for Christmas, and I've been reading it on weekends.
I get that drama and emotional content may not have been the writer's point in recording the account from interviewing the members of Easy Company, but I'm still shocked at how bland this book is compared to the HBO miniseries.Seeing Gray in a World of Black and White

Robert Kysar - John, the Maverick Gospel"I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill
