Just recently finished the Hunger Games in prep for the movie. Getting ready to start my re read of the Wheel of Time series to get ready for the final book in Jan. I have always reread the series before each release.

Another WOT fan. I can't wait for the last book.

Should be good. It's expected release coincides with the end of the Chineese year of the Dragon. Wonder if that was planned.

Most definitely planned.

i listened to the first chapter on audible. Seems like it has the potential to be awesome

I am sure most of you are familiar with the outdoor writings of Patrick McManus but he has started a mystery series called the Sheriff Bo Tully Mysteries. I have read just finished Avalanche, the second in the series, and do recommend it.

Finished Truman a while back. Man, what a great book about a great man. A guy who valued friendship, loyalty, honesty, integrity, and hard work. A guy who didn't really hit stride until his 50's. Somebody who faced some of the toughestd decisions ever, and who steered us though some of the most precarious times we have faced -- when the survival of mankind was not certain at all. He made some extraordinarily tough calls, and though you might find fault with some now, you appreciate the thoughtfulness that went into them, and the context within which they were made.

If you're a little skeptical about reading history, you should consider giving this a chance. I think you'll find a lot of parallels with what we face now. The political climate, role of government, and lots of other stuff sound just like today. It adds a cool perspective to things.

McCullough really writes well, and the book just flows. It's not a stuggle, but a real pleasure to read. One of those books that I wished didn't end.
