Matterhorn, a Novel of the Vietnam War.Matterhorn is a great novel. There have been some very good novels about the Vietnam War, but this is the first great one, and I doubt it will ever be surpassed. Karl Marlantes overlooks no part of the experience, large or small, from a terrified soldier pondering the nature of good and evil, to the feel and smell of wet earth against scorched skin as a man tries to press himself into the ground to escape withering fire. Here is story-telling so authentic, so moving and so intense, so relentlessly dramatic, that there were times I wasn’t sure I could stand to turn the page. As with the best fiction, I was sad to reach the end. Highly recommended. Link to reviews, etc.

Almost finished with "Fallen Dragon", meanwhile I've also started in the Complete Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy (again).
There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the universe is for it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened.

FlashForward by Robert J Sawyer
Really good book very different from the tv series I watched the TV series which I really enjoyed, before reading the book in the hope of finding out what happened in the end. I agree the book and TV show are very different. I just didn't warm to the book or it's conclusion. I felt more empathy for the way the characters were portrayed on the TV show.

James Clavell's Shogun. Was a freshman in high school when the TV series aired and always wanted to read the book. Plus I used it to push a Amazon order over $25 for free shipping.
