Been reading the Celtic Crusade series from Stephen Lawhead. Good historical fiction.

I'm about to start Porterhouse Blue, a farce comedy by Tom Sharpe. I love his work. Riotious Assembly, Blott on the Landscape and the Wilt series are comedy gold.

I have just bought War & Peace and Crime & Punishment so hopefully I'll get a chance to read them soon.

Gasp, I saw you are already reading "American Sniper"....great book.

"Lone Survivor" written by Marcus Luttrel. He is the only survivor of Operation Red Wings, Afghanistan 2005. A 4 member SEAL team was attacked by an estimated 200 Taliban in the Hindu Kush mountains. (there were at least 80 Taliban KIA)

"SEAL of HONOR", I don't remember the author. The story of Lt. Michael P. Murphy USN. Lt. Murphy was awarded the Cong. Medal of Honor for his actions during Operation Red Wings in 2005. This book actually brought tears to my eyes.

"With the Old Bread", by E.B. Sledge. Sledge was a Marine Corp infantryman who made beach landings at Peleiu Lu (Sp?) and Okinawa in the latter part of WWII.
