Killing Lincoln
Pretty interesting written in a unique style for a history book. I consider myself well versed in Civil War history but I learned a couple of new things from this book. It's perhaps a bit juvenile for adults but I'm definitely going to try and get my kids to read it.

That book is awesome. You guys that are Christians should throw that one on your shelves for when your kids become curious and start to branch out in their reading on spiritual matter. My parents had absolutely junk spiritual books on the shelves and lots of them, and I honestly think that's why I avoided God for quite awhile. They just weren't moving. It's amazing how much good Christian literature is out there that I had no idea existed.

I've now read the first seven Dresden Files books. Apart from books 1 and 3, which were merely very good, the other ones have been fantastic. They're just real page-turners.

I'll go best three since it has been awhile since I last posted and I've read quite a few books :
Best Fiction:
Best Religious:
Best Non-Fiction:
The last one gets best non-fiction simply because I've been forcing myself to read counter viewpoint books, just kind of pretending I was in a presidential debate or something and seeing if I could respond point by point without any help and I think he made a few good micro economic points that I had nothing off the top of my head to come back with. The whole book can actually be disputed just by pointing out that the guy failed to understand the impact of financial bubbles on employment(he wrote it in 2008). It's baffling that an editor at the Wall Street Journal writes an entire book on economic issues and doesn't mention monetary policy once when his entire arguments are based on it working. When it doesn't work, and bubbles pop, he has nothing.

Last things Ive read?.....
And, of course:
And, of course:
A scifi book call "Tribulations". What a bad book. It seemed like the author had no plot and just made thing sup. For example: He introduced what seemed to be a major character and then killed them 2 pages later. So ultimatly he had no point for even mentioning the guy but the guy should have changed the whole course of the book. Just odd. Maybe it was his first book...

Full Dark, No Stars - Stephen King. Just Re-read it. Excellent.
