I bought Living History today and plan to begin reading it tomorrow. Then, I plan to make it through as many of the bestsellers this summer as possible - both fiction and non-fiction.

About 750 pgs into The Stand...first time reading it, I finally found the courage to tackle this enormous book.
Then it'll be Salem's Lot in preparation of Book V of the Dark Tower....
and then The revised Gunslinger.

I'm reading a paperback Signet Classic from 1988 with an introduction by Robert Wilson. It doesn't say who translated it, so am I to assume that Robert Wilson did since he wrote the introduction?

I finished The Count of Monte Cristo. For some reason I've always wanted to read it, but never have. I think maybe because of it being mentioned in my favorite movie, The Shawshank Redemption. Funny how Shawshank kind of parallels Monte Cristo.
Next up is And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie. If I like it, I'll probably try to eventually read all of her work interspersed with some other books.

I finished And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie. Pretty neat little twist. I'm sure I'll be reading more of her work in the future.
I borrowed these books from the library:
Plum Island by Nelson DeMille
The Millionaires by Brad Meltzer
Spec Ops: Case Studies in Special Warfare Theory and Practice by William McRaven

I'm finishing up Seabiscuit and I haven't decided what to read next. It will either be the new Ben Franklin biography or Dark Tower II. I haven't decided yet.

Zeus, you are going to love Plum Island, that is one of my all time favorite books! DeMille is a great writer IMO.
So far this month I have read Hard Eight and To the Nines by Stephanie Plum. I'm currently reading the latest Op-center book Sea of Fire to gear up for Teeth of the Tiger coming out later this month. After that it will probably be Angels and Demons.

Reading The Green Hills of Earth by Robert Heinlein. It's a short story collection. I ordered another Heinlein book (can't remember which one), and I'll read it next. I'm gradually working my way through all of Heinlein's novels.
