Recently finished reading Doris Kearns Goodwin's "Team of Rivals" (upon a small portion of which the film LINCOLN was based). Incredibly well-written, insightful, absolutely could NOT put it down! A man of Lincoln's qualities we are unlikely ever to see again, and Goodwin's writing is sublime.
Currently I am reading James Lee Burke's most recent entry of his Dave Robicheaux series, entitled "Light of the World." Good suspense thriller (as are all of the Robicheaux books) but a little dark, even more so than most of his. Next on my list is the new Daniel Silva book, "The English Girl" and then probably the first volume of Rick Atkinson's World War II series The Liberation Trilogy, entitled "An Army at Dawn - The War in North Africa, 1942-1943." I like to mix in a non-fiction book from time to time, but mainly read crime/suspense novels and historical fiction.

John Steinbeck's 'The Grapes of Wrath' is arguably my all time favorite book. However, for sheer enjoyment at turning each page, I'd have to go with 'BOY'S LIFE', by Robert McCammon. I read it once many years ago, and am now re-reading it once again. It's fairly massive and I'm midway through it's 608 pages. The writer works magic here and he effortlessly will transport you to being a 10 year old boy in 1964 and all the wonders of being a boy can offer. Absolutely a Summer read!

Great first novel. If P.V. Brett can keep it up, this will become a classic.
