I guess the last of the Clancy novels.....I was pretty upset when I heard he passed. I've always loved his books.

Bach: Music in the Castle of Heaven
Maestro John Eliot Gardiner This is an approachable journey through Bach's life and music written by an authority that knows his works as a conductor. I heartily recommend it. My favorite part is when he describes how in 1742 Bach bought a deluxe edition of Martin Luther's complete works for 10 Thalers. However, in the book where the price was written, it seems the master had crossed out the original price of 20 or 30 Thalers as an attempt to hide the actual amount he splurged on this luxury. Maestro Gardiner speculates that he was afraid to tell his wife how much he really paid. He he he...I think we can all relate to that. |

The Good German by Joseph Kanon. A great piece of historical fiction, a WWII mystery.

I am reading a Web serial called "Worm," all 1.7 million words of it. If you like fantasy, gaming, comics, or mysteries this is for you. If you are a hard boiled realist or only read non-fiction, run for your life!

Hi Paul, I've read nearly all of Kerr's Gunther books, they have all been really good. He has the same attention to research as Follett, with a slightly more mature style.

Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand
"A WWII story of survival, resilience, and redemption." Always amazed what I learn reading about war, and this is no exception..... |
