I just got done reading this book:
Decent book. Interesting. I'm intrigued by espionage.
Not sure what my next book will be.
Anyone else read?
Haven't read that book, but it looks like a good one.
I've been reading a lot of Stephen King lately.
I read a lot of Stephen King years ago. I'm more into non-fiction now.
My favorite King book would be Eyes of the Dragon. I read that when I was 13, and loved it. Hearts in Atlantis was pretty good too.

Good books, pretty much I like everything King writes.
One of my favorites was Bag of Bones.

I'm re-reading "It".Been 10 years or so,so it's kinda nostalgic and still good enough to reread.
Eyes of the Dragon is King's most under rated book.
I'm a prolific reader,read every fiction genre,from Louis L'Amour to Robert A Heinlein to Robert B Parker to Michael Crichton.
I'll read non fiction if well written,hate the dry tone some people take when writing non fiction.
Comrade J looks interesting.I too,am intrigued by intrigue,I especially like the whole Cold War and it's aftermath.
I trust you meant espionage.
And if that's the case, the author (Pete Earley) published two other books that were, IMO, better.
My favorite book that I've read at least 4 times is the following:
I'm very familiar with this book, and the story it's based on. I held the same position in the Navy, and worked out of the same office that John Walker, the person the book is about, did. He is probably the biggest reason why we lost the Viet Nam war.
The other is Confessions of a Spy, based on CIA spy Aldrich Ames.

lol @ me.
yeah,don't know why I typed that.
I am fairly familiar w/Walker and Ames stories,but am always interested in a different telling of any story,especially when
recommended by a fellow reader.
Strangely enough,my nephew is an Intelligence WO in the Army.Meaningless,I realize,but sychronicity,you know?
Intersting that you mention that. That is a topic that really interests me, and the following book was recommended to me:
Regicide: The Official Assassination of John F. Kennedy
Familiar with it?

No but I'll have to check it out.
I just finished reading this:
It's a pretty good book. It's located in the business section of the bookstore. He talks about how he started, his principles, and how he got to where he is today.
Right now I'm reading this:
It's written by a guy who was embedded with a Marine company during the invasion of Iraq. It can be graphic at times, but it's also a good one.

And here I thought the DCU didn't have an active book thread! Boy, was I ever wrong!
I've been reading 11/22/63 by Stephen King. I wasn't planning on getting this book since I'm not a child of the Kennedy era and ain't particularly interested in learning more about, and because, with the exception of Cell, nothing King has written in the last 15 years has turned my crank even a little bit (though I have read everything the man has ever written).
This is a GREAT novel, though. It's definitely not horror (at least, not yet...I'm only halfway through), but it's damned brilliant and I'd give it my highest recommendation to any fiction fan.

There are lot of threads our members don't know we have.
You just have to dig a little to find them. You'd be surprised.

Last book I read was The Last Stand about the Battle of the Little Bighorn this spring by Nathaniel Philbrick.
