Yeah, the cover art for Kushiel's Dart made me go... "hmm, if the cover looks like this the book can't be ANY good!"

I was desperate for a book to read on the way home. I ended up reading the whole airline magazine in the plane, the duty free shop catalog and of course the safety instructions.

I finished Russell F. Weigley's "A Great Civil War," a single volume survey of the U.S. Civil War, on Friday. Apparently, I should have read McPherson's "Battle Cry of Freedom" first. Not exactly a rollicking read, but there was enough focus on the political (versus the military) to keep my interest.

I'll start Margaret Macmillan's "Paris 1919" tonight or tomorrow. Wilson, Clemenceau, Lloyd George, Churchill, John Maynard Keynes, Lawrence of Arabia, and Ho Chi Minh working in the kitchen: one can only hope for a gigantic food fight as the map of the world was redrawn. They would certainly make a mess of things.

I'm currently reading 'A Storm of Swords' by George R.R. Martin. Good fantasy series with a great deal more promise to it than Jordan. I read a few random Terry Pratchet Discworld novels(novela's?) before that, always good for a laugh and cheering up your day. After I finish the Martin book I'm going to try and pick up CS Lewis' 'Mere Christianity' again and see if I can make it past the first essay this time. Speaking of Lewis, I also reread 'The Great Divorce' recently. Very interesting take on the afterlife. I think Lewis was definately on to something with that book.
Not sure what I'll read after that, I'll probably just go wander around B&N for a few hours and see what jumps at me.
Oh yeah, I'm also reading bits and peices of several O'Reilly Perl books as I have time and when I run into problems that I don't know how to solve.
