This thread was started in August, 2012.
Days of Grace by Authur Ashe and Arnold Rampersad. First line is, "If one's reputation is a possession, my reputation means most to me". The first African-American male to win a major tennis tournament. A gentleman who lived his life with courage, dignity and integrity. I hope to learn something, about how one should conduct themselves, in all situations, when under extreme pressure.

Bones Are Forever by Kathy Reichs (okay, but not one of my favorite authors)
Something by Clive Cussler (can't remember the title and too lazy to look it up) Trying to find more Spider Robinson books (humorous semi-sci fi; liked book I read by him but not enough to want to purchase the books and Sumter Country has none of his; hope Mark Twain has several) Tatham Mound by Piers Anthony. Very interesting book about a lost tribe in Central Florida (just finished it, actually).

Current Reading
I am reading "The Believing Brain" which, being very general, deals with the point(s) that a person first decides what they believe and then they go about the process of developing facts,etc. to support their position. Net: You first decide your beliefs and then then work to support them.

I am reading The Good Lord Bird, by James McBride which tells the story of a young slave who meets John Brown in the Kansas territory in 1857. I can't quite decide if I like it or not, and I have already read about 1/4 of the book.
