I enjoyed that one several months ago. Now I'm just starting With the Old Breed: At Peleliu and Okinawa by Eugene Sledge after finishing One Square Mile of Hell: The Battle for Tarawa by John Wukovits. And that one makes Normandy and Iwo Jima look like child's play.
Oh, and about two weeks ago I read The Nazi Officer's Wife: How One Jewish Woman Survived the Holocaust by Edith Hahn Beer. A very quick and interesting read. Actually, reading it was like listening to an old lady tell you a story of what happened when she was younger.
And after my current book I've already lined up two books about the Holocaust. You know, that scouring of most of Europe's Jews that some folks still think didn't happen.

I just finished reading Dean Koontz's "Watchers" about a week and a half ago and it was a really good suspense, thriller. It's about a dog with the intelligence of a human being that escaped from a government laboratory along with another intelligent, monster-like, man-eating creature called "The Outsider", which has a sort of telepathic link with the dog and is tracking it down to kill it. There are a lot of other subplots going on including a love story, one with a perverted stalker, an investigative agent who's hunting the dog and the outsider, and a hired assassin who believes that he gets the life power of everyone he kills, especially when he kills a pregnant woman. It was a good book.
I'm currently reading another book by Dean Koontz called "Forever Odd" which is the second book in his Odd Thomas series. (Yes his first name is "Odd"). It's a pretty basic premise about a young man who can see the dead and he goes around trying to save people from impending doom. In this particular book his friend who has very fragile bones has been kidnapped by some lunatic of a woman who is trying to lure Odd to her for his special supernatural gifts. So far I'm confused as to what's really going on, but I guess I'll see.
I used to read alot of Dean Koontz after being a Stephen King fan. The DK books are pretty rivetting. Have you read the ones with the guy who can't go out during the day. Can't remember what they were called. They are pretty good. And another one called Intensity I think where a woman is trapped in the back of a motor home. Edge of your seat stuff. I have seen the Odd Thomas books but haven't got around to reading them.

Yep me too. Try a book called The Day After Tomorrow by Allan Folsom. It came out before that movie but the stories are completely different. I couldn't put it down. After reading the first page I just had to find out what the mystery was. Maybe not everyone's type of book though.

Somebody gave me one of Einstein's theories to read a while back. I had given him an equally unapropriate book.
But its good to broden you horizons.
The next time anyone drops a pound coin from a platform whilst I'm on moving train, I'm in the position to talk about it!!
Useful or what!

Are you guys all smarter than me?! You're all reading such heavy stuff. Am I the only one who reads trashy romances?
