Starting the thread new for 2012.
So, what's the last book you've read?

Read plenty, but currently entertaining myself with an audio book, "Ghost Riders" by Sharyn McCrumb. I've read it before several years back, but I'm enjoying hearing the different interpretations on the voices compared to my own imagination.

Just finished Sun Shuyun's "The Long March" (a history of based on interviews w survivors). Prior to that, had read Massie's "Catherine the Great" wherein he related everything she did to her various lovers. I waited for her bodice to be ripped asunder. Waste of time, poor history. Now onto B. Kingsolver's 1st novel, "The Bean Trees".

What, like give one Poland or another the Navy? Heck, she only had five, it's not like she slept with the entire country so how tawdry could it get?

Actually more like 8, moja mala kapusta. Nothing tawdry about her; Massie's "biography" is what's tawdry. She deserves much better. And, after "giving" Poland, she tooketh away x3.

Hey, if you muck up a gift like THAT, expect it to be taken back!

Gary: I like that!
I'm re-reading In the Shadow of the Swastika, by former Chattanoogan Hermann Wygoda. Terrific story.

Not reading, got audio-book going for run-time. Currently listening to Janet Evanovich's 18th Stephanie Plum novel and grinning at the continuing themes.

Finished, "A Dance With Dragons", liked it, but it killed a theory of mine.

I was listening to "The Necronomicon" on audiobook, but...
At least, it was on sale.

Just finished Randy Wayne White's Night Vision -- was't one of the best in the series, but any time spent in Dinkin's Bay with Doc Ford and Tomlinson is always good.

Don't put me in coach.. By Mark Titus as he chronicles his career as a member of The Ohio State University basketball team. Great read funny as hell. Boy done good parlayed a bench warmer career into a book deal with The same agent James 'bay doll" Dixon as Jon Stewart , Adam Carolla and Jimmy Kimmel.

Finished, "A Dance With Dragons", liked it, but it killed a theory of mine. I'm on the last few pages of that book and I'm not sure I'm liking some of the twists. I loved that book!

Jeff Guinn's "The Last Gunfight", a chronicle of the Earps, but a stunning treatise on the disposability of Lawmen generally.

A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving. For about the 5th time at least. Each time I find something I hadn't noticed previously.
