Right now I'm reading the Bible (finished it all but most of the prophets) and America: A History in Black and White. I need to hurry as I've got about a million books in the queue!

"Full Body Burden: Growing Up in the Nuclear Shadow of Rocky Flats" (http://www.audible.com/pd/ref=sr_1_1?asin=B00804L7L4&qid=1359173709&sr=1-1)
I drive a lot and listen to books. This is written and narrated by Kristen Iversen. I'm 80% through it and STRONGLY recommend it in whatever form is convenient. |

I just read POWER BALLADS by Will Boast. Very good short stories about professional musicians in Chicago. Most stories focused on a jazz drummer who works for different bands to make a living.

A few days ago I finished Benjamin Roth's, The Great Depression: A Diary. Anybody interested in seeing how the depression affected people and society as well as investments should read this book. Like in Germany, many people were convinced that the bottom had been reached and invested in stocks or real property only to see them drop further. This happened several times from 1931 to 1940.
Now I'm going over Ernesto Bagnasco's book, The Littorio Class Battleships. They were sure handsome ships. |
