Wierd topic, but so well written, it is actually a compulsive read!

Read that a couple of weeks ago - very interesting, and a real eye-opener.

Re: What are you reading?
I'm on a roll atm read Richard Montanari's 2 books The Rosary Girls and Play Dead. He does like his puzzles. In the middle of reading Michael Connelly's new book The Scarecrow about his other main character Jack McEvoy a newspaper reporter. Read The Brass Target a few months back that brought together 2 of his other characters Mickey Haller first introduced inThe Lincoln Lawyer and Harry Bosch an LAPD homicide detective.
It may be pulp fiction but I like it how they haven't picked up the Harry Bosch books for tv seems strange. Too 1970's probably

Re: What are you reading?
A good but painful book from the perspective of a nine year old boy.

Re: What are you reading?
The Devils Sandbox ( with the 2nd bttn 162nd infantry in iraq ) - John Bruning
An excellent book from the guy who went on to co-write "House to House" about the battle for fallujah about an Oregon national Guard regiment called up for deployment in iraq
House to House is an excellent read also
