Is it any good Dan?

I've just been on a really long cruise and loved getting naked on the balcony off MH
Cabin and reading a book on the days I was at sea and not on an island :) was amazing

It is amazing! But then again, the 14 books that preceded it are pretty good too. :)

I highly endorses this series.

Can't wait for the next one (peace talks) which according to Jim will be the most violent yet.

I have just finished reading two books about the Aussie outlaw motorcycle clubs. Enforcer (http://goo.gl/QUtguz) and Wrecking Crew (http://goo.gl/N9nyyU). The books are written and from the perspective of a Sergeant  at Arms of one of the big outlaw clubs. Both great reads!

The Aussie outlaw motorcycle club topic really interests me so I am looking for other books in this area of interest to read.

I thought it was going to be Chaucer's Canterbury Tales in modern english.  I'm no master in middle english.  But alas no. 

I am reading though Bill Bryson - One Summer: America 1927

Tim Weiner's book about the history of the FBI. It has been interesting so far.

Excellent book, solid research.

I just finished an excellent graphic novel called Two Generals by Scott Chantler and am now reading Frankenstein by Mary Shelley.

Today I got a book directly from its author.

As a republican[1] I went to an event today about the promotion of the republican ideals and got a book from one of the panelists called « Précis républicain à l'usage des québécois ».

1: Note for my US friends, this has nothing to do with the US political party of the same name. The idea of republicanism in the US died in the middle of the 19th century and the republican party of today is strongly opposed to its principles.

Micheal Kimmel's Manhood in America a cultural history. So it has given this including what's traveled and the crossover with the pioneer spirit in New Zealand.

I'm in the middle of an extensive Tolkien reading. Mostly rereading, but there is some stuff I haven't read before. Currently on Book VI of The History of Middle-earth: The Return of the Shadow.

The Time Traveller's Guide to Medieval England - Ian Mortimer. 

Blows apart Hollywood's interpretation and our sometime bad history books on what it really was like in the 14th Century.  This is history writing at it's best.
