Complications by Atul Gawande
The Devil in the White City by Erik Larson
Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides
I know this much is true by Wally Lamb
The Road by Cormac McCarthy

Not necessarily the last book I read, but The Long Tail by Chris Anderson is a really interesting book about how smart technologies like Amazon etc. are using - which keeps track of your purchases and recommends similar items - are helping to aid the growth of niche markets. Since the internet allows for unlimited "shelf space", people can find niche items that they might not normally come across in a Brick and Mortar store.

Agreed, the only Hemingway I could get through was The Sun Also Rises.

Right now I'm working on a light mystery, James Lee Burke "Swan Peak", but I'm sorta loosing interest.

Chuck,

Not yet, I've been going through a few weeks of interviewing/hiring new employees, but I have it all ready to go on my Amazon wish list. Looking forward to it.

Winning with People by John C. Maxwell :bow1:

 

[mch69]

actually it was Che guevara and the useful idiots who idolize him

 

[carendt242]

The Collected Civil War Stories of Ambrose Bierce - most of you probably read "Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" in jr high; this guy wrote that; and a lot more stories like it. The stories read like a cross between Thin Red Line and Apocalypse Now, but written back in the late 1800s - the stories aren't about war as much as they are about the crazy humans fighting it.

Highly recommended.
