    Damn good read though. I too saw that Prime members can read for free, but the fragg'n think doesn't say exactly how.. just go here, click this type crap.
    Ok, found how it works, but I'll have to read it on my wife's kindle. My kindle isn't linked to her account. Of course, I still have others books in the queue...

    Just finished The Mysterious Island by Jules Verne.
    I don't remember what it was that turned me on to Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde, but that is my current story: The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

    I'm currently reading Night Watch by Sergei Lukyanenko, great book tbh. First of a 4 book series which I hope to read, and if they're all as good as the first one seems it should be a great series.

    someone recommended those books to me as well. My book reserve reading list is starting to like my yet-to-play-but-own game list. Still plan on reading those books, for sure.

    anyone in the military, or on the police force should read them for job training. everyone else should read it so that if it comes time to throw down in a big way you'll be prepared.

    Just finished my "Those Damned Rebels" book. Such an abrupt ending, but still good.

    Now on the queue is "Washington's Crossing," unless I dive into "Worm: The First Digital War" first. (first one is more exploration, second one is a more than 'highly suggested' professional reading from one of my bosses.)

    I still want to read that book Crowbar recommended. I will probably grab it for a summer read.

    Recently finished:

    The Sisters Brothers by Patrick deWitt. It was amazing. Never read a western and when I picked it up I had no idea what I was in for. Very fun adventure.
    Noir by Robert Coover. A piece of detective fiction. Easily the best book I've read in the last year. Very well written, really entertaining protag and a great story. It roped me right in and I couldn't put it down. Definitely a book I'll go back and read again and again.

    Currently reading:

    After The Golden Age by Carrie Vaughn. So far it's pretty good, haven't gone balls deep in it yet but so far it's holding my attention.

    Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer. Fascinating first-hand account of an expedition to the top of Mt. Everest. I picked it up after reading Touching The Void by Joe Simpson which is also a really good read. I'm enjoying Into Thin Air a lot more though. It's a really brutal journey.

    13 Things That Don't Make Sense by Michael Brooks. It covers everything from biology to cosmology, chemistry to psychology to physics... it wanders all over the place. Really interesting look at the world we think we know. Probably about half-way through and having trouble putting it down to finish one of the others. It's going to be a long week.
