A Battle History of the Imperial Japanese Navy by Michael Dull. A GREAT resource if you're looking to find the Japanese perspective on the Pacific War. Unlike his last name, Mr. Dull actually writes very well and engaging, and has done a lot of research from the United States Naval History Division by going through reels and reels of microfilm from the Japanese archives that had been kept classified for years. It's a marvelous companion to Sam Eliot Morison's "A History of United States Naval Operations in World War II" (and even serves to clear up some ambiguities in the latter's work), and I intend to use it extensively for my upcoming following of the 70th anniversary of the Pacific War.

The Dark Tower Series Book 1: The Gunslinger. It looks like such a short book but the story drags, making it seem longer. On the last page, about to read the Drawing of the Three (sequel).

Read a book today entitled "The History of the World According to Facebook" and dear lord was that a very awesome read. Defiently worth the $8 to buy. It was well, as funny as anything.

Basically, for those who don't know it, it starts off in the begining and goes throughout time to 2011....all in the form of Facebook messages and updates and pokes fun at everything in history, such as the sinking ot the Titanic....to the point in the band asking if they can stop playing while the Titanic replies with "Nope, you're going down with me" sort of thing. Or Abraham Lincoln posting a message that he'll be at the theatre with John Wilkes Booth "liking" his message and so fourth XD

While I was on holiday, I started reading the 'Song of Ice and Fire' books, and right now I'm on the third book. I'm really enjoying them, they're the type of books where you really can't tell what's going to happen next.

I've been reading a few:

Age Of Fire volume 2: Dragon Avenger by E.E. Knight

On A Pale Horse by Piers Anthony

and I'm re-reading the Narnia books by C.S. Lewis and Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury.

I'm reading "The World Without Us", which basically explains what would happen to everything on Earth if every human on the planet were to suddenly disappear. It's rather interesting so far, as it also describes some places that have already been abandoned for a while, to help imagine what such a world might be like.

Triangle: The Fire That Changed America by David von Drehle. Excellent read on a very key event in American labor history that influenced things beyond just labor reform.
