re: What are you reading?

I just finished The Splendid and The Vile, Erik Larson's book on Churchill and his first year as Prime Minister and the Blitz on London. Really well written book, although I think I liked his book about the Lusitania, Dead Wake, a little better.

I am really liking Larson as an author. I am waiting on the new Jeff Shaara book about Pearl Harbor, To Wake the Giant, but once I read that, I may have to check out Larson's book about the Chicago Worlds Fair.
