I'm reading a book titled Mountain Spirits. Its pretty much a book of American history with an emphasis on whiskey/corn liquor/moonshine production and how it impacted our development as a nation. I just finished the first volume of Mark Twain's autobiography, and that was one of the best books I've read in a long time.

I'm just starting into book 6 of Vaughn Heppner's "Lost Civilizations" series - The Lod Saga - Really enjoying his work, sorta like Robert E. Howard with a biblical twist! Got the 1st for my Kindle @ Amazon for a buck - the rest are 2.99 - Cheap reads leave more dough for better bacca!

Following up on a book recommendation by Clanobucklin, I'm just finishing up a Hugh B. Cave collection entitled Long Live the Dead.
This guy can write some pulp fiction!! One of the inventors of the genre actually.

Since reading two of his short detective stories published in the 1930's in "The Black Mask" magazine just a few weeks ago, I've acquired no less than five of his books containing hundreds of titles,....everything from old hard-boiled detective stories to horror pulp.
Highly recommended if you like seedy charactars, fedoras and .45 autos, fast cars and women in tales from the '30's and '40s. 8)
