    I'm reading a few books.
    "The Somme" by Martin Gilbert, "The Return" by William Shatner, and I just picked up "Crime and Punishmemt" by Dostoyevsky, a classic that I've never read before.

    I'm another one who reads several books at one time.. Right now I'm working on "Club Dead" by Charlaine Harris, "Courageous" by Randy Alcorn, and "Gods Story Your Story" by Max Lucado.

    I just finished "The Edge" a rollicking fun sci-fi book about time travelers. I just started the 1st book in what is ostensibly a series oriented toward the wee lasses titled "Outlander." It is interesting. Recently I finished both "A Short History of Scotland" and "Scotland's Mark on America."

    I usually have two books going at once. One for livingroom reading and one for bedroom reading. As luck would have it I finished both books in the last two days. The livingroom book was Lives of Ancient Egyptians by Egyptologist Toby Wilkinson and the bedroom book was Deceptions of WWII by William B. Breuer. Now I have to find 2 new books to start reading.

    I'm presently reading, "The Chiefs of Clan Macpherson" by Macpherson of Dalchully, a first edition and published in 1947. It's an excellent, vintage book with well researched information and delightful stories. I picked it up on eBay a few weeks ago.

    Cheers,

    "The Celtic Magazine" Volume I Number 3. January 1876.
    Free from the Gutenburg Ebook Project.
    “A Monthly Periodical Devoted to the Literature, History,
    Antiquities, Folk Lore, Traditions, and the Social and
    Material Interests of the Celt at Home and Abroad”

    Excerpt From: Various. “The Celtic Magazine, Vol. 1, No. 3, January 1876 / A Monthly Periodical Devoted to the Literature, History, Antiquities, Folk Lore, Traditions, and the Social and Material Interests of the Celt at Home and Abroad.”
    I find the magazine very interesting.
