October Reads

Happy Halloween Y'all

Lots to catch you up on:

  • The Vampire (British tile) AKA: Lord of the dead : the secret history of Byron / Holland, Tom . Good read for Halloween
  • Pirates LaFite by William Davis Very long, and not as interesting as one would suppose.
  • Pirate Hunter by Richard Zacks Excellent and flows
  • Divided House by LeBlanc
  • History of the World in Six Glasses by Tom Standage History made accessible, for those who find History boring.
  • And a Bottle of Rum: History of the New World in Ten Cocktails by Curtis Wayne I never craved drink so badly in my life. Fun and interesting, a good companion to the Standage book.
  • The samurai's wife by Laura Joh Rowland. Read this on by, and in the pool, in New Orleans. Above the pale mystery, good characters, flows well.
  • Saint by Ted Dekker. Excellent storytelling. I know this is 'christian fiction' but not as heavy handed as you might think. Do yourself a favor, read this one.
