While waiting for the next Left Behind book, I'm reading one fiction book and one non-fiction book.
Fiction: Hot Springs by Stephen Hunter. I've read just about everything by Hunter. This is all about Bob Lee Swagger's father, Earl, just back from the war and taking on gangsters in Arkansas. I have the next book, also about Earl Swagger, called Pale Horse Coming, which I'm likely going to read next.
Non-fiction: The Wounded Spirit by Frank Peretti. Great Christian fiction author, writing about his own dificult childhood - having to deal with bullies and teasing because of a physical condition. He takes his own life experiences and relates it to Columbine and other violent acts of our time.
My wife just started to read Three by Ted Dekker (Christian author).

I just started reading an independent horror novel called "Killer Asylum". It concerns a female FBI profiler Alison Moire, who after a long and grueling hunt that almost leaves her dead, apprehends the most prolific serial killer in modern history, Soren Cabal.
Unfortunately this is at about the same time that the government approves a study of serial killers to determine if there's a way of stopping the alarming rise of serial murders in the world. The ten most notorious serial killers in prisons across America are gathered in one asylum for study.
Naturally, Soren Cabal leads an uprising in which the serial killers gain control of the facility. He holds the staff hostage and demands the delivery of Alison (who has quit the agency after the permanent emotional damage caused by profiling) into the asylum.
It's a very cool little read. Part "Red Dragon", part "Die Hard", part "Naked Lunch" - a welcome breath of fresh air into the serial killer genre.

That sounds like a very interesting read.
I've just finished Disappointment With God by Philip Yancy. I'm now reading What's So Amazing About Grace by Yancy and The Basic Works of Aristotle.

So far, it's pretty disappointing.
You want disappointment you should try the movie!

Just finished this one. Wanted to recommend it to anyone looking for a book. Because it was independent, my copy was poorly edited but the book's website
is selling a mass-market paperback that has been edited and includes case studies of the individual killers. Recommended!
Now I'm on to Hell House by Richard Matheson. Amazing that it's such a spooky read for being written in 1970. Plot follows a team of parapsychologists hired by an aging billionaire to study a haunted house and prove to him that there is life after death. Needless to say, hilarity doesn't ensue. Only about halfway done but it's very creepy and intriguing. Let you know how it turns out.

I know some of the "regulars" of this forum are into books and I know it seems I've put strict emphasis on muisc lately, but didn't want to overlook the 2 other areas of interests.....So...I decided to revive those old thread...
I am into "The Teammates:A Portrait of a Friendship" about the decades long friendship between ted Williams, Bobby Doerr, Dominic DiMaggio and Johnny Pesky of old Red Sox fame. Very cool book so far.
