I am reading Flyboys by the same man that wrote Flags of Our Fathers
He did a great deal of research on this one as well. About fliers off carriers in the Pacific during WWII. Engrossing and a fast read. I found it in paperback at a yard sale.
Explains the Japanese mind a that particular time. Enlightening.
Most of us in WWII were just boys, as well as those that we were fighting.Bob TuttleComment

I just finished Footfall a couple of weeks ago myself. I've always enjoyed Niven & Pournelle's collaborations. I'm going to have to dig up Lucifer's Hammer for a re-read.Comment

The First Choice by Nicholas SparksChris

I'm reading "Dies the fire" by S.M. Stirling... Pretty neat stuff, if you're into post-apocalyptic sci-fi/fantasy. Basically, all technology just stops one day - electricity, anything that relies on fast burning (cars, planes, explosives and firearms become useless)... Heck, even steam engines just stop working for no apparent reason, plunging 21st-century people back into Medieval-level technology. Quite an interesting read so far...
On the "serious" side, just a bunch of technical documentation for Citrix and Citrix-related technology...Comment

I'm finishing Donald Miller's Searching For God Knows What. Well written, quite enjoyable, and he has some interesting things to say. On the other hand, he but has a John Eldridge-ish way of trying to be provocative or make a point by saying things that seem ... wrong. Sometimes I can't tell when writers are having a little fun and when they're actually being obtuse.Don't just say no to kickback.Comment

Robert Parker, Lee Child, John Connelly, similar trash. - Steve, " mote" is good - just read book one of the "2nd" Foundation trilogy - not bad, not great - had to skim a few hundred boring pages. Can find few real hard SF anymore, fantasy is not SF for me. TanssaaflKen in Cincinnati

Ken I agree with you completely! I grew up reading Wells, Norton, and Heinlen. Great stuff! I just can't find much anymore to read, and like you, the fantasy stuff just doesn't do it.
