What is on your To Be Read pile?

Currently, I am reading Gavin De Becker's Gift of Fear. I read it a very long time ago and find it more relative now than ever.

In my TBR pile:

Fear Less by Gavin De Becker
The Gentle Art of Verbal Self Defense by Suzette Elgin

"Guns, Germs, and Steel" by Jared Diamond.

Gibbons "History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire." a re-read from a long, long time ago.

Just finished "Coolidge" by Amity Schlaes and "Innocents Abroad" by Mark Twain, both multiple re-reads.

Alternately working through the entire works of Robert Louis Stevenson, and other books. Currently Octavia Butler's "Seed to Harvest."

I am currently reading this forum.

Just finished reading "Sense and Sensibility" this afternoon, which meant that dinner was salads instead of stir fry because I should have put down my book to make dinner half an hour before. I'll probably wind up making my way through the Austen collection (it happens every year or two; I can't resist). I'm waiting for a friend to finish her draft of the final novel in her trilogy so I can read it. She's not published yet, but if the publishers have any sense she will be. And I'm also waiting for the next Diana Gabaldon "Outlander" book. Otherwise I'm trying to stay away from fiction because I have terrible self control when it comes to books and nothing gets done when I get into a good book.

For non-fiction, I'm working through "The Well-Trained Mind." I want to finish the entire thing, but with a particular focus on getting the elementary years sorted out.

Hebrews, I'd highly recommend it.

What a coincidence, me too.

The Bluegrass Conspiracy An Inside Story of Power, Greed, Drugs and Murder, by Sally Denton
ISBN: 978-0-5951-9666-1 (sc)
ISBN: 978-1-4502-8378-6 (ebook)

This is the true story behind the 'Drew Thornton' storyline that was highlighted in the last few seasons of the TV show 'Justified'

Just finished "Robot Apocalypse". Good fiction book.

Going to pick-up "Tesla: A Man Out of Time" next.

Then I'm going back to re-read "Ender's Game" before the movie comes out. It's been most of 10 years since I read it last.

The Bible. I read everyday a few chapters in the Old Testament, a few chapters from Psalms, one chapter from Proverbs, one chapter from Acts, and then a a few chapters in the New Testament.

Books: Meet The Holy Spirit and Killing Kennedy

An excellent book. Wasn't too crazy about his others, but G,G,& S is extremely illuminating.

My current reading books are "MongoDB" and "MongoDB Applied Design Patterns"

You think I went to college for 12 years just to be an FFL?

Light of the World, by James Lee Burke.

Physical Anthropology....real interesting stuff
