Heard a great Q&A on-air with author Carrie Gibson about her latest, "Empire's Crossroads", so I'm going to pick that up as soon as I'm done with finals. http://www.politico.com/bookshelf/books/details/9780802126146/empires-crossroads-by-carrie-gibson

Exams are over, so I have three weeks to read before the final semester grind gets underway. Time to finish up Fromm's 'The Sane Society' and pick up Carrie Gibson's 'Empire's Crossroads'.

"Han Mu Do" by Dr. He-Young Kimm "Killing Patton: The Strange Death of World War II's Most Audacious General" by Bill O' Reilly and Martin Dugard "Memory Jogger: A Guide of tools for Continuous Improvement and Effective Planning" by Michael Brassard and Diane Ritter
The Kushiel's Avatar truology. Found it on best of fantasy list. In all, it was a great adventure with an author that obviously knew ancient history extremely well. Has parts I think were redundant but in all well written and great entertainment
Linton Kwesi Johnson 'Selected poems' Linton Kwesi Johnson 'Mi Revalueshanary Fren: Selected Peoms' Leonard E.Barrett, Sir. 'The Rastafarians' Always interested in something different.
Revival is pretty good read. I've also read a huge box of paperback books someone gave me over the last several months, but none of them were all that post-worthy. They were mostly lame attempts at fantasy and sci-fi...a few were so-so, but most of them were crap.
Probably so, because none of them were worth keeping. They were as cheesy as Harlequin romance novels. lol My mother, her sister, and a couple of other women like to share books, and when my mother has an overabundance on her hands, she passes them on to me. Sometimes they're good ones and sometimes not. She dropped another box off this afternoon, and it looks like more of the same crap. Someone probably got them at a yard sale or something.
I'm a big fan of Laura Joh Rowland's books. I have not read this one yet though. I have read all of the others. Poor San Ichiro! He always comes through, but man does he get abused!
Now I feel like reading the entire series again. It's an awesome time travel story about a teacher on a mission to try to prevent the JFK assaination. Another great short story collection. Unlike some of his other collections, I actually enjoyed every story in the book. lol
So Anne Rice is resurrecting the Vampire Chronicles? Last I heard she was done with it. Might have to check it out.
