World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War

World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War I've seen this book on best seller lists for years, but ignored it because I don't do zombies. But it isn't about zombies; it is hilarious social criticism. Highly recommended (if you can look past some vulgar language).

I Shall Not Want by Julia Spencer-Fleming

I Shall Not Want: A Clare Fergusson/Russ Van Alstyne Mystery (Clare Fergusson and Russ Van Alstyne Mysteries) Decent. I am unreasonably excited about the next one.

The Wright Brothers by Quentin Reynolds

The Wright Brothers (Landmark Books) I read this to the boys. The writing style is wooden and dated, but the story is great.

Out of the Deep I Cry by Julia Spencer-Fleming

Out of the Deep I Cry (A Rev. Clare Fergusson and Russ Van Alstyne Mystery) This was absolutely superb--if you need a mystery, this is the one. It was even much better than _In the Bleak Midwinter_.
