Ravens Coin by Carmen Schott. Available at Amazon.com Modern day Indiana Jones romp up the West coast. A mixture of history, native lore , love and fast paced adventure.
Currently, The Picture of Dorian Gray, from Oscar Wilde. I've heard a great deal about it, and so far, it's pretty interesting. Also try on The Man from Beijing by Henning Mankell if you like a detective novel which sidetracks into Chinese affairs. I absolutely loved the book.
Currently I'm reading "The Warriors of Spider"
( The Warriors of Spider - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia )
...& then I'll read the next two books in that trilogy that're already
sitting on my nightstand.
Then, I'll tackle this one that arrived in the mail this week:

"The Arabs" by Eugene Rogan
Not a bad book, and it brings perspective to this whole terrible cultural misunderstanding between the West and the Arab World. A good read, and it could show the haters out there that not all Arabs are rag heads but normal people like you and i looking for their place in the world

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Jules Verne. Got a 36 novels and short story collection on my Kindle for $2.99. I know this is in public domain but it would have taken me a week to compile these with the Gutenberg project`s slow download speed.
Yeah, thanks.
I read The Road and it was a gripper,
I'm currently into Ernest Hemingway For Whom the Bell Tolls, in a continuing return to the writers and the novels of my youth.
My second childhood, perhaps.
"The Road to Jerusalem"- Jan Guilou... some Sweedish guy.
More Medieval stuff. I love that sh*t.

I'm a book collector and have 3-4 by Card. This sounds good. How many books are in the series? I might just have the first one. Are these books similiar to Jean Auel's work?
Never read any of Aurel's books, but I doubt it. I actually got tired of the series and skipped to the end. If you are interested there are five books in the series. The theme of the series is that an almost god-like supercomputer directs the members of a family on a planet called Harmony to return to Earth and colonize the planet. Earth has long been abandoned to to a civilization-destroying civil war.
Right now I am reading two SF series and enjoying them both. Mike Shepherd's Kris Longknife series is fast paced and full of action. I am also reading Elizabeth Moon's Serrano series, which is a little slower paced, but has great characters. You can check them both out here by just typing n the author's name at this site. Fantastic Fiction
I have found the site very useful for finding new authors of both SF and Fantasy, especially for checking out which series are complete, so I don't have to keep waiting for that still to come novel for a series to finish.
This is also a great site for checking out works of SF and Fantasy. Some great fan discussions there. Science Fiction Fantasy Chronicles: forums - Powered by vBulletin
