I have just finished my John Grisham book, so im going to start "I'm with Stupid" by Elaine Szewczyk, never read any of hers before I got it from Fictionwise because it was on sale of $1.99

That was my first John Grisham, I quite enjoyed it and will probably read some more.

I really had a hard time with that book. I still have no idea what actually happened in it even now.

I am once again buried in WWII books.

Currently invested in Citizen Soldier by Stephen Ambrose. I just can't pull myself away from the ETO. I really need to move further east into the Pacific at some time.

My wife is in the middle of The Skeptical Environmentalist by Bjorn Lomborg and the Oxford Book Of Modern Science Writing by Richard Dawkins (that title hurts my little pea-brain...)

We are biding our time until volume 12 of The Walking Dead comes out, then it is a full on fight for first perusal.

You might like the Truman biography by David McCullough. It's a bigbook, but has a very detailed accounting of what was happening in th oval office as the Cold War started, plus a lot of stuff about the home front activities to try and stop war profiteering.

No reading of The Skeptical Environmentalist by Bjørn Lomborg (a statistician and political scientist; not a climatologist) would be complete without a reading of the article “Misleading Math about the Earth: Science defends itself against The Skeptical Environmentalist” from the January 2002 issue of Scientific American.

Likewise. Fortunately I had read enough literary criticism about the book which made it easier to follow. Otherwise I would have been completely lost.

I'm very much enjoying a Georgette Heyer Inspector Hannasyde mystery: Death in the Stocks - the Noel Coward dialogue with upper class antics surrounding the murder of the most disagreeable character is quite entertaining.

Nor would any reading of that article* be complete without reading Lomborg's response, which you can find in full at his web site. It's also worth looking around for other articles on Scientific American's treatment of Lomborg's book. They, um... weren't very scientific.

Xenophon

* better called a cynical hatchet job than an article, IMHO.
