What are you reading right now?

I am reading about war, and peace, and a bit o' magic. I am still looking for a kilt to make it related to this site, but in "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" there aren't too many kilts. I have been reading that for about 6 months or more and just don't get a lot of reading in, especially now that I am spending hours and hours programing my Light Show and putting things up outside when it is not raining or snowing.

DALE.

Several different things currently. Reading more than one book at a time drives my wife crazy.
Runestone by Don Coldsmith, historical fiction
A Pilgrim's Journey, a compilation of magazine article's by Mark Baker, 18th century reenacting
That Dark and Bloody River by Allan Eckert, history of the Ohio Valley, also 18th century.

Waiting to start reading, a biography of Benjamin Franklin by Walter Isaacson
The Odyssey, by Homer, been quite a while since I read it so needs revisiting.
American Soldier by General (Retired) Tommy Franks
Personal Reminiscences of General Robert E. Lee compiled by Rev. J William Jones
Warfare in the 18th Century a Smithsonian book

Yep, heavy on the history.

YMOS,
Tony

Right now I'm in the middle of Gabriel García Márquez's "Memoria de mis putas tristes." As with all his books, it is a tale of obsession, filled with his usual array of characters and magic, both in setting and in the language itself. It is (in spite of its title) a tribute to all women and the mysteries of all things feminine. This book is being sandwiched between Edward Rutherfurd's "The Princes of Ireland:The Dublin Saga" that I finished last week and its sequel, "The Rebels of Ireland."
