Since you asked.... heh I finally finished "A Bright Shining Lie" about the Vietnam war, and have begun "The Bible Unearthed" by Israel Finklestein (think he's jewish?).. also reading "on the road" by Keroac...some books you have to read again after 30 years. I'm considering reading some George Orwell too, considering the times. LE

_Atlantis Blueprint_ by Wilson & Flem-Ath. Claims that Antarctica is Atlantis, and that this book isn't flakey like von Daniken or Velikovski. Far-fetched, but some ideas are interesting.
_Mars_ by Sheehan & O'Meara. Non-fiction and current.
Bits & pieces of _Koran_. Anybody know a modern English translation?

Inca Gold by Clive Cussler. The hero is Dirk Pitt, kind of an Indiana Jones type.

I’m reading the SignLab Manual, and the Omega CAS/Tech Review when I get frustrated (I’m saying that to keep the SignLab support guys on their toes)
I would be reading a Gerber Edge Book if there were one. (any of you Edge Gurus, who write so well, listening??)
Also: Stones from the River (Ursula Hegi)
Recommendation for Adrienne: Michael Crichton's book "Travels"
Good post, I'll be interested to read what comes up. I love to read, but there just isn't enough time, so I'm grateful for LE. Without you being lazy we couldn’t benefit from your educated and balanced views obtained by reading the hard stuff while we work. Also: Israel Finkelstein- no way he could be Jewish.

The Aubrey / Maturin series of novels....sort of like The Hardy Boys, only for adults....by Patrick O'Brian. These are seafaring stories, historically accurate (supposedly) centering around the adventures of captain Jack Aubrey (who I want to be like when I grow up...after Roger Bailey), and his assistant, Steven Maturin, a ships surgeon and master intelligence agent. Marvelous reading..requires a tolerance for the jargon and the "roll" of the story...which quickly develops. I can't imagine a month going by, at least in the winter, not going to sea with Aubry.

I'm on book seven (or is it eight) of the Left Behind series. My Grandmother gave me the first one to just consider reading, I did, now I can't stop! I get to the end of one and have to run out and get the next one. I'm not an overly religious person but the story is very intriguing and if this stuff really is spelled out in the Bible, we'd better all smarten up!

G'day from someone downunder. Have read all the "Left Behind" series, so far, kids and adult series, can't wait for the next one. A singer and songwriter called Larry Norman wrote a song called "I wish we'ed all been ready", makes you think. My favourite adventure author is Clive Cussler, read all of his books as well.

I'm reading about twenty years worth of back issues of sign magazines. I think I will be at it awhile. This is an incredible amount of information given to me by some very kind people. It's also pretty cool to see how some of the changes have taken place in this industry.

The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay by Michael Chabon. This is the most imaginative and interesting fiction that I have read in a long time, and I highly recommend it for the fiction readers among you.
The other one is a good lazy summer afternoon read - Be Cool by Elmore Leonard, probably best known for Get Shorty.
