I read Wild at Heart a few years ago and just picked up The Sacred Romance. So far I liked Wild at Heart better, but this book is not too bad. I just haven't gotten far enough into it yet.

I started this but as usual became intensely frustrated by the fact that I've totally forgotten who the minor characters are, and Jordan makes no effort to recap the first time they appear in the book.Then Feast for Crows came out, and I put down the Knife and will be reading this instead. I'll probably come back to it, but somebody should've stuck a fork in Jordan after Crown of Swords, IMHO.

Andrew Jackson : His Life and Times -- by H.W. BrandsVery good read so far. The background is very well done and isn't so dry that you want to skip to the good parts.

The cast of characters in this series is HUGE. I gave up trying to remember who most of the minor ones are. I figure I'll put them into context as they go along. When I knew the book was coming out I found online chapter synopses of the first 9 books. I had to refresh my memory.

I see you're from Charleston, and IIRC he lives there. Ever met him?
Good luck on your test.

Hmm, on the one hand this is good news since I'm having a damned hard time leaving any pages for the 15 hour plane ride home today. On the other hand, I've selected the worst Gaiman novel.It is a good book so far (through the mid 300's in pages). I have to admit the Chabon quote on the cover sold me on the book as I'd heard good things about it and Gaiman (probably here).had its moments but definately my least favorite gaiman novelI didn't see the genius in it.American Gods Neil Gaiman - halfway through andso far

Atlas ShruggedRand's philosophy is excellent. The "tooheys" on this site will disagree.

Just finished Red Harvest by Dashiell Hammett. Mentioned this to a fellow bookworm over drinks and found out that he'd never heard of Hammett. 
Maltese Falcon is a fantastic book, whether you love the movie or just couldn't get into it. Red Harvest is darker but along the same lines. It's an easy read, but the man packs a lot into a sentence.

Just bought "Jawbreaker". Accounts from the top CIA operative on the hunt for Bin Laden. Anyone read it?

Finished American Gods on the plane ride back yesterday. It was a very good book (although I saw most -but not all - of the plot twists coming). If the rest of Gaiman's work is better, I look forward to reading it.Hmm, on the one hand this is good news since I'm having a damned hard time leaving any pages for the 15 hour plane ride home today.

Recently I've finished "Blue Blood" by Edward Conlon and "The Science of Cold Case Files" by Katherine Ramsland. Right now, I'm on "The Restless Sleep" by Stacy Horn and next will be "Homicide Special" by Miles Corwin.

It's good. I liked it alot. It reads like a novel. I really like the way Bowden writes...giving you the deatails without overloading you with alot of useless crap. BHD was indeed a great read and I enjoyed this one just as much. I'm looking into either getting Killing Pablo or Finders Keepers

Actively reading Wolves of the Calla by Stephen King. Starting to drag in the middle, though.
Also perusing Smithsonian Baseball. Awesome book for collectors or just baseball history buffs.
In the bathroom: The Art of Surrealists. Not very comprehensive or insightful, but wasn't expecting it to be.
Off and on glancing at A Dad's Guide to the Toddler Years . I don't know how I feel about these parenting books yet, whether they're very helpful.
