I had to stop reading Tony Robbins' Awakening the Giant Within and move on to The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. Nothing wrong with Tony Robbins book, but I have to read Unlimited Power 1st to have a better understand of his 2nd book.

Right now i'm reading Homers Illiad. But I won't be able to finish it because College is starting back up soon. I'll have to pick at it here and there until I get enough time to finish the book.

Started this yesterday
Then noticed this is out
So reading both but As the World Dies is a pretty quick read so I will probably finish that first.

Finished A Darkness More Than Night and absolutely loved it. By far, my favorite Michael Connelly book so far. Next up is Harry Bosch #8:

If you have ever read "A Bridge Too Far" or other books about Market-Garden, this tells the story from the other side of the hill. The troops that defeated this operation were basiclly rear area and raw recruit types. A little different than accepted history.

Seems like you and I are at a similar pace w/ the Bosch novels (I read City of Bones about a month ago and just finished Lost Light recently). Anyway, A Darkness More than Night...I was let-down by it. I liked how the characters from earlier novels converged into one...but something just didn't sit right w/ me. Loved City of Bones though.
What did you think of Lost Light? I also didn't read Blood Work before ADMTN, but I did know about the Terry Caleb character. What did you think of Blood Work?
