@Flyguy: The Knowledge of the Holy by Tozer is going to rock your world. Towzer's Pursuit of God changed my life. He is my 4th favorite dead guy.

Trinity by Leon Uris

Currently I'm working through a CompTIA Network+ study guide (plan to take the exam early next year - no later than March...). Also working my way through Edward Said's "Orientalism" - getting back to my academic roots. For lighter reading, I've been chewing through urban fantasy novels. Just finished Jim Butcher's "Cold Days", and am about to start Richard Kadrey's "Devil Said Bang".

Just finished a quick Cussler book, and The Forgotten, by Balducci. I plan to read the Jack Reacher series, by Lee Child, right after I open them for Christmas.

Just finished the most recent Dresden book by Jim Butcher.
If you can't pack it, light it, and smoke it then why do it. It's a dieing art that must be rekindled in all of us as fortold by our forefathers.

@Zonomo Yes, I read Pursuit of God earlier. Tozer was a good man. His books have a clarity to them like no others. I appreciate that he has no doctrinal axe to grind...just good biblical stuff. I have lots of favorite dead guys too.

I am reading "The Generals" by Thomas E. Ricks. As a soldier myself, I find this fascinating reading. However I think that any thoughtful person in America today would find the history of military leadership in America since World War II to be a worthwhile read. Ricks writes very well, and the book is broken down into sections for each major conflict (WW II, Korea, Vietnam, & Iraq), with each chapter centered around one or two generals whose leadership style is examined. His research is top notch, and while you will recognize the names of some of our leaders, you may find yourself surprised that some generals have been lost to history despite their excellent contribution to military doctrine.

I'm reading 2 books right now. Feed by Mira Grant; it's a great series about zombies, friendship and life. Cold Days by Jim Butcher; I love this series! Harry gets in and out of so many scrapes. Plus I want his dog.

Just finished Dostoevsky's The idiot, Charles Dickens "Great Expectations" now I'm reading Dostoevsky's "The Brothers Kamrazov" One of the great Russian writers, but whoever translated it makes all the difference in how it flows together. I work in a hospital overnights and I mainly get paid 18.50/hr to sit and watch people sleep and read. If only it were the good ol days when you could smoke in the hospital behind the nurses desk.

Just finished reading The Dude and the Zen Master - by Jeff Bridges and Bernie Glassman. Recommend it for anyone looking to chill out and look at the bigger picture of life.

For the second time round, ''Children Of Hurin'', by the incredible Mr. Tolkien. If you're a LOTR fan, and you like tragedy and Shakespeare, you owe it to yourself to read this (skip the wordy introduction if like me, you're not as well versed in his legendarium)

I'm bouncing around a bit with finals coming up quickly but still taking some time to read Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time Series.

Just finished "My Sixty Years On The Plains" by William Thomas Hamilton. Written in 1905 about trappers. If you enjoy that kind of thing I highly recommend this book.

I've recently started the "Lord John" series -- Lord John and the Private Affair by Diana Gabaldon. Historical mysteries of sorts that take place in 18th century England, just before the American Revolution.

A true masterpiece of literature, imo. If you're reading the Pevear/Volokhonsky translation, you've got the right one...again, imo.

Almost finished with another of Philip K. Dick’s novels that I hadn’t read yet: Flow My Tears, The Policeman Said. As with all of his works, imo, a truly creative, inspired, insightful and entertaining read.
