Just finishing A Bright Shining Lie by Neal Sheehan. It's regarded as the best single book on the Vietnam War, a subject I didn't know a whole lot about. I can see why it won the Pulitzer and National Book Award.
Have some beach reads cued up for summer.
11/22/63 by Stephen King - Continuing with the America in the 60s theme. Have't read any King in a long time, so I'm hoping it holds up. He can be pretty mawkish.
The Power of the Dog by Don Winslow - Lot of buzz about this author's books on the Mexican drug cartels. Figured I'd start with this one.
The Letter of Marque by Patrick O'Brian - Slowly working my way through the Aubrey/Maturin series. This is #12. It's nice to have a series where you know going in to every book that it's going to be excellent.
