I just finished David Baldacci's The Fix. It's the 3rd of his 'Memory Man Series.

Amos Decker (the protagonist) was a pro football player who received a head injury and subsequently developed total recall along with other things. That may be unlikely, but it works. It was a good read.

+1 on this. Very good read. Decker has a unique personality because of the injury and Baldacci did a great job in creating him.

I've been reading "The Bible", by God. It's a different kind of reading, really, so a few chapters a week is enough to get you thinking.

H&K-Guy

Tools of Titans by Tim Ferriss and Shoe Dog by Phil Knight. Recommend both.

Hue 1968 by Mark Bowden. I liked his books, Killing Pablo and Blackhawk Down. It's a good read so far. He tells both sides and also weaves the political aspect into the story.

Command and Control - Eric Schlosser

People of Chaco - Kendrick Frazier

Doc Holliday - Gary L. Roberts

Redshift - William G. Tifft

Bunker Hill by Philbrick.

The book is engaging, and many many characters. Plus it is all true or plausible conjecture. A few pages at a time is all I can absorb.

In hardback from the library on a 9-week loan. My second.

Just finished Stephen Hunter's latest, G-Man.

I finished Right to Kill right before G-Man.

I suggest you read It IS about Islam- Glen Beck
Despite your feeling towards him he wrote a very good interpretation of the Quorum. Not that it's good for infidels, but you can understand what they are taught/teaching.
It's oil and water mixed with the US Constitution...

Foreign Agent - Brad Thor

Up next
The Black Widow - Daniel Silva
The Wright Brothers - David McCullough

Way of Shadows (Night Angel Trilogy) is very good.

Finishing the Joe Abercrombie First Law trilogy. Really struggling through the middle of the 3rd book, really have just stopped caring.

At any given moment, I'm also reading a number of non-fiction books. Currently it's business and branding stuff.

The Brand Flip: Why customers now run companies and how to profit from it. By Marty Neumeier.

Reading "Enhanced Interrogation" by Dr. James Mitchell. Eye opening look into the minds of top terror leaders like Khalid Sheikh Mohammed who masterminded 9/11 and it turns out personally beheaded Daniel Pearl. If there was ever any doubt about the continuing threat of Islamic terrorism this book erases it entirely.

I am currently in the front half of Defeating Jihad by Dr. Sebastian Gorka.

Buckskin, by Kit Dalton. Available at a Dollar General near you.
