"Sea of Thunder" by Evan Thomas. It follows the four commanders of both the American and Japanese navies who were in charge during the largest naval battle of all time- The Gulf of Leyte.

I am currently reading Barack Obama's latest, just to get some idea of what he is about; also my guilty pleasure, novels by Clive Cussler, they're cheesy but fun reads.

I guess I should have listed my main interest, duh

I am interested in reading books on Leadership, History, Crime (like Grisham), or Biographies.

Devil in the White City by Erik Larson

It's a pretty interesting read - a great combination of the Chicago World's Fair of 1893 intertwined with the story of this serial killer. Its classified as non-fiction but there is a lot of imagination that was done to make it read like a great fiction piece.

48 Laws of Power is a great book-Lots of shorter factual stories throughout

Good to Great is about the greatest companies and what it tookj to get there

The Road- A macabre story/ fiction It is quick reading.

I am reading a really good book entitled "Against the Gods. The Remarkable Theory of Risk" by Peter Bernstein. It is about the history of risk and the development of probabilty theories. If you think about it, risk underlies everything. without risk we would still be living in caves.
