A Feast for Crows from the "Game of Thrones" novels. It's book number four in the series. I have "American Sniper" ready for when I finish the Game of Thrones books, but for now I am in Game of Thrones heaven as I read through these stories for the second time. Against all wisdom I have grown attached to Arya Stark and want to see her push through to the end . . . but who can really be sure when George R. R. Martin is in charge? 
The issue is not p*ssy. The issue is monkey.

http://www.hippeis.com/tyrantseriesThis is my latest. Christian Cameron is/was a USN officer/awesome author who writes historical fiction prolifically, and well, on the subject of warfare ~500BC in the Med. You know, Alexander the Great and all the dudes who succeeded him in the various regions he conquered. Incredible character development. I've been on his books for a year now. Highly recommended if you like historical warfare fiction.

"Blink" by Malcolm Gladwell. Great book!

The average naval aviator, despite the sometimes swaggering exterior, is very much capable of such feelings as love, affection, intimacy, and caring. These feelings just don't involve anyone else.

The Plains of passage by Jean Auel. Interesting. Sex is a bit much, though, and fairly repetitive.
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.

Half way thru "Fabled Fifteen: The Pacific War Saga of Carrier Air Group 15". Navy Ace of Aces CAG David McCampbell and the boys dish out a beating to the IJN while aboard the USS Essex during the pivotal battles in the Pacific in 1944. Great writing - the author actually describes ACM correctly. Great detail - yes the Helldiver was a POS. Highly recommended. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1612002579/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Unbroken: http://laurahillenbrandbooks.com/Having read Pappy Boyington's autobiography "Baa Baa Black Sheep" in the 1970's there wasn't any deep dark revelations about the brutality of the Japanese experienced by Zamporini and other POW's during their time spent in captivity. Those unfamiliar with that brutality might be shocked at the conditions they were forced to experience during their captivity though. I found the book to be a good read but it did cover a lot of the same ground, from a different mans perspective, since Boyington and Zamperini spent time in the same Non-existant* POW camp. Even so I feel Unbroken is worth reading since there are a few twists in the story that make it uniquely his. Wheels *The men held at the camp were not acknowledged as POW's and their existence was withheld from the Red Cross and other relief agencies. As far as the world and their families knew the men were dead.
