Confessions of an economic hitman
A good one, indeed.
"Night Soldiers" by Alan Furst, the first book in his series of novels about spies in WWII. I've read all of the others except for the first two, so I'm going back and reading them.
I have to admit, I am not much of a Stephen King fan. I am a History buff, and eager to see what kind of liberties he takes, this is a novel, after all. And a long one too.
Chronologically working my way through the Bond books. Got Kindle Unlimited as a driver to do more reading. The books have been easy reads so far - currently in the beginning of Dr. No
"Sharp Objects" by Gillian Flynn.
Harold Coyle's Code of Honor
Carte Blanche by Jeffery Deaver isn't a bad take on the Bond novel. I believe certain contemporary writers have been given permission to use the James Bond character, Deaver being one of them.
Yea, I plan to read through the series including post-Fleming novels. Will be interesting to see how the writing style changes with the new authors in new eras.
I'm currently reading 'Dombey and Son' by Charles Dickens. Just finished Contributions to the Theory of Natural Selection' by Alfred Russel Wallace.
I bought the Set of six volumes recently (used at a library book sale), and I think that vol. 1 'The Gathering Storm' applies today with the rise of nuclear and terrorist states like North Korea and Iran. I've not read all six volumes yet, but hopefully I'll get through them in good time.
Great read, I read this about three years ago, and will read it again.
Ironically, I just finished this yesterday. Finally.
Be A Man - Father Larry Richards
Just finished...
The Warrior Diet - Ori Hofmekler
Simple and Sinister - Pavel Tsatsouline
The Magic of Thinking Big - David Schwartz (more of a daily digest for me. Read a few paragraphs daily. When I reach the end, I start again).

Fifteen Dogs by Andre Alexis, good read just finishing.
Ringworld by Larry Niven. Decent enough plot line. The humor reminds me of Hitchhiker's Guide.
Magic Strings of Frankie Presto by Mitch Albom. Enjoyed Tuesdays with Morrie and Five People You Meet in Heaven so looking forward to this one...

" Oblomov (Russian: Обломов; [ɐˈbloməf]) is the second novel by Russian writer [and Racontuer'] Ivan Goncharov, first published in 1859. Ilya Ilych Oblomov is the central character of the novel, portrayed as the ultimate incarnation of the superfluous man, a symbolic character in 19th-century Russian literature.
Oblomov is a young, generous nobleman who seems incapable of making important decisions or undertaking any
significant actions [sometimes...I get like that
]. Throughout the novel he rarely leaves his room or bed. In the first 50 pages, he manages only to move from his bed to a chair. The book was considered a satire of Russian nobility whose social and economic function was increasingly questioned in mid-nineteenth century Russia".
