Edward Klein- The Amateur

Recommended by friends

"This is a Reporter's book. During the past year and a half, I have interviewed nearly 200 people, both inside and outside of the White House......"

Page 201.

I like it very much. Unbelievably shocking and sadly very true. Something every person should read before November.....

Lee Child's One Shot.

Have not read one of Lee Child's books before and wanted to find out what I was missing. The upcoming Reacher movie got me interested.

First sentence is FRIDAY. FIVE O'CLOCK IN THE AFTERNOON.

I am around page 224 out of 363.

It is about a mass sniper shooting in an Indiana town by a ex-soldier.

I am reading The Fall of Giants, it's a trilogy by Ken Follett. It starts in 1914 and it is fascinating. I'm not a history buff but I can't put this down. It's a huge book and maybe by the time I'm done the second book will be out (9-18). Reading it on the kindle but think I am around page 190. Also love folletts other books pillars of the earth!

Am reading several books simultaneously but the two books I've been reading continuously for several days are:

Kindle edition
1. Volume 5 -A Song of Ice & Fire, A Dance With Dragons by George R.R Martin
2. The only book in English at an European hotel left by a guest. Got hooked.
3. The night was rank with the smell of men.
4. 148 of 1016
5. Loved the first volume but subsequent volumes drags at times. Haven't
watched the HBO series but if you like castles, fair maidens, intrigues,
murders, this may be it. Still 2 more volumes before it finally ends.

From library
1. Dragon Lady by Sterling Seagrave
2. Saw it at my friend's place and always interested in that period.
3. Each spring and autumn in Peking just before the end of the
Nineteenth century........
4. 39 of 463
5. The life and legend of the last empress of China which changes her persona
in the new discovery in 1974 that there were hoax told as truth. The
author and I worked at the same company way back when and was
curious as to the new findings.

1. "The Mobile Wave - How Mobile Intelligence Will Change Everything" by Michael Saylor…on Iphone Kindle app.

2. Like to keep my Computer skills current.

3. “In late June of 2010, I was eating lunch at New York’s Blue Water Grill with my niece Lauren and her mother.”

4. Page 203 of 281

5. A look at what we are moving thru and where we are headed; societally as well as technologically. Thought provoking.
