General Lee's Army: From Victory to Collapse by Joseph Glatthaar
I've just started it in the last week or so and it's really good so far. I can tell he did a LOT of research, including on the demographics of those who jointed this army early on, even before Lee took charge of it. I really look forward to the rest of it. I have some time off work today & tomorrow & hope to spend a lot of time reading this. It is very readable and enjoyable
I have been wanting to get "The Passage", by Justin Cronin, the new weird zombie vampire book, that is supposed to be part of a trilogy that is also being made into a movie. It appears to be something that Stephen King really digs. Has anybody read this?
I actually just finished it LoganBuck. I thought it was good for the most part. I wouldn't say it's anything groundbreaking or new for the genre but it's well executed and I finished it in just a couple of days because I was pretty hooked.
It's tough to pass full judgment also, since it's a trilogy, there are a couple of small criticisms I could make but it's possible they'll be fixed or answered in future volumes.
I think the movie is probably going to be a huge success.
Cool, thanks!
I just finished James Hirsch's biography of Willie Mays. Very good baseball read.
I'm reading the Blind Side now; even better than the movie (which I really enjoyed).
I loved "The Blind Side." I have just started John Feinstein's "Living on the Black."
Yeah. He's really funny. I didn't enjoy this as much as I liked some of his other stuff.
I don't think I've read those yet. I've read Dead Solid Perfect; You Call It Sports, But I Say It's a Jungle Out There and Fast Copy.Quote:
Also recommend "Semi-Tough" and "Life Its Ownself".
Ballad of the Whiskey Robber: A True Story of Bank Heists, Ice Hockey, Transylvanian Pelt Smuggling, Moonlighting Detectives, and Broken Hearts
by Julian Rubinstein
About a quarter of the way through. Like it a lot so far.
Started "Cat's Cradle" last night. That's why I love Vonnegut, it just flows.
