Just started reading Stephen King's "The Bazaar of Bad Dreams". First book of his I've read in 10 years.

How is it? I enjoy his older stuff but then there was a period where I wasn't crazy about what he was putting out "from a buick 8 was one example".

The Nightingale is an EXCELLENT book! I read it in 4 days. My honey is devouring it now.

The Amazon Spotlight Pick for February 2015:

Kristin Hannah is a popular thriller writer with legions of fans, but her latest novel, The Nightingale, soars to new heights (sorry) and will earn her even more ecstatic readers. Both a weeper and a thinker, the book tells the story of two French sisters – one in Paris, one in the countryside – during WWII; each is crippled by the death of their beloved mother and cavalier abandonment of their father; each plays a part in the French underground; each finds a way to love and forgive. If this sounds sudsy. . . well, it is, a little. . . but a melodrama that combines historical accuracy (Hannah has said her inspiration for Isabelle was the real life story of a woman who led downed Allied soldiers on foot over the Pyrenees) and social/political activism is a hard one to resist. Even better to keep you turning pages: the central conceit works – the book is narrated by one of the sisters in the present, though you really don’t know until the very end which sister it is. Fast-paced, detailed, and full of romance (both the sexual/interpersonal kind and the larger, trickier romance of history and war), this novel is destined to land (sorry, again) on the top of best sellers lists and night tables everywhere. -- Sara Nelson

I haven't read this yet, but it was written by a woman who frequents the YMCA. She is getting VERY good reviews and not just from Y members.

Alexander Hamilton's Guide to Life

(Jeff Wilser) A nice easy read intro to the great man's biography. Wilser shows how events from Hamilton's life and samples of his writings apply to modern life. Lots of humor, some of it pretty corny, but still kind of inspiring. It has inspired me to dive back into the Chernow bio that has been sitting on my night stand for a couple months.

Reading Defense of the Reich, JG300 history. I know, a bit abstruse...

I'm a WWII buff, I just read Winter Fortress, what a daring adventure against all odds to stop Hitler from making the A-bomb.

I'm in the process of rereading "The Sound of the City. The history of rock and roll" by Dharlie Gilette. I first read it about 30 years ago but the author updated it about 5 years ago. This time around I find it to be very slow reading. I pick it up, read 50 pages, and put it down for a few weeks. It's taken me about 2 months to get 1/2 way through it this time.

Ever hear of the book "'Art of Rock"? 1000s of neat posters throughout the years. Found the book, at an old used book store in Hollywood. One that prolly doesn't exist anymore.

I'm reading Philbrick's first book, Away Offshore. It is about the history of Nantucket. Very interesting.
