Bruce Springsteen's autobiography, while I wait for the release of the next novel in John Sandfors's "Prey" series (due out later this month).

Wow I read The Magic Strings of Frankie Presto Las year. Enjoyed every page, but I'm a fan of Mitch Albom.

Right now I am reading Pat Conroy's South of Broad. Pretty deep and dark, but I like it.

The People of the Broken Neck - Silas Dent Zobal

A novel about an Iraqi/Afghan special forces veteran on the run with his two children.
But it is much more than that.

Just finished this book last week. One of the best books I've read in the past few years.

My wife (Nanny Jane) bought me a Kindle a while ago.

Amongst my earlier purchases were :

1. Slaughterhouse 5 - Kurt Vonnegut

2. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - A trilogy of Five - Douglas Adams

3. If Britain had Fallen - Longmate - what might have happened here if Operation Sea-lion had happened.

4. D-Day Through German Eyes - (Books 1 & 2) Holger Eckhertz

5. Sapiens - A Brief Story of Humankind Yuval Noah Harari

6. Homo Dues - Harari

7. Without Getting Killed Or Caught - Bio of Guy Clark - Tamara Saviano

8. A Line In The Sand - Britain, France and the struggle that shaped the Middle East - James Barr

9. They Fought Alone - The True Story of SOE's Agents in Wartime France - Maurice Buckmaster.

10. Word Drops: A Sprinkling of Linguistic Curiosities - Paul Anthony Jones.

As you might gather, I'm interested in History (not just WW2), alternative histories, and satirical dystopian novels.

I loaded up may of these for reading matter whilst in Hospital but today I mainly read "The Fretboard Journal!"

The PRS Electric Guitar Book by Dave Burrluck. Great guitar pics and some interesting history on Paul Reed Smith.

FAR Part 145 at the moment. I always read it when I need something to make my life seem exciting by contrast.

I have that trouble remembering the title with my kindle. Especially with those Lee Child/Grisham/Michael Connelly series of books. The worst part is when it's time to order another, since I don't necessarily read them in the order they came out. More than once I've ordered another only to notice I had already read it. Sometimes it takes 3 or 4 days before it dawns on me. I hate when that happens.

At the moment I know exactly what I'm reading though. 'AWOL on the Appalachain Trail' about a 40 year old guy that quit his job to do the AT.

Sounds like a pretty vicious loop.
