"Fugitive Nights" - Joseph Wambaugh
I've actually been reading this for most of the week. Almost finished with it, but it's really good. No wonder I love mysteries so much.

Over my hiatus, I have been reading a lot of historical fiction, notably by Patrick O'Brian and C.S. Forester, with a particular interest in the 1700s-1800 Royal Navy. Entertaining the idea of an original novel somewhere along this line, but to do with the American Revoluntionary War, rather than the Napoleanic era. That's included some relevant fantasy/alternative history, the Temeraire series by Naomi Novik - great fandom if you are partial to dragons. With a touch of James Patterson work: Along Came A Spider, and the first book of the Maximum Ride series. Currently reading: Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code.

I went through "Equus" by Peter Shaffer.
... for litterature class. So I got an overdose of it.

Currently reading:
The Flashman series by George MacDonald Fraser. Great if you like historical adventure in the Victorian era, at the side of a self-confessed coward, cad and cur who nevertheless gets showered in war and glory.
Prayers for the Assassin by Robert Ferrigno and Caliphate by Tom Kratman. How do you tell the truth about life under a radical theocracy in this day and age without getting your ass hauled in front of a "Human Rights" tribunal? Write it as a work of speculative fiction, of course. Science fiction and fantasy, since their inception, have been fairly reliable ways to work around censorship, just ask any writer active during the Soviet era. Presenting politically incorrect thoughts as fiction is becoming an essential survival skill for western writers as well.

"The Paranormal Sourcebook: A Comprehensive Guide to All Things Otherworldly" - Charles E. Sellier
Yes, I've become very interested in this subject. It is quite fascinating and it gives me ideas for RPs and fanfics.

Animals In Translation by Temple Grandin. Grandin, one of the world's foremost animal behaviorists, a premier designer and planner of livestock handling facilities and a high-functioning autistic, outlines the connections between the thought processes of autistic people and the mental and neurological capacities of animals. Good read for those with an interest in the subject.
