Hyperion by Dan Simmons.
It makes me feel bad about myself that people can be so brilliant.

Heh - complicated:
Actual book - Fields of Fire - James Webb. Nearly done. The author is a pretty amazing guy. Not as great as I remembered the book being but still very good and the guy obviously knows what he writes about. The Emperor's General is probably better but both are very good.
Audiobook - Infinte Jest - Works very well as an Audible book though the narrator reading it as poetry is a bit annoying at times; even if it is close. This book is brilliant as hell at times.
Alternate book - Basic Instructions comic strip (any of the 3 books) - just a great web strip.

Read Talebs, Fooled by Randomness. Intelligent but not enjoyable.

Greg Iles
Ashamed to say I just discovered Iles' books. I power read The Quiet Game, Turning Angel and The Devil's Punchbowl before starting the Natchez Burning trilogy. I don't think you have to do that, but I wanted to read them in order.
Massive books, fast reads. Iles is one of the best storytellers of our day.

The War Outside My Window: The Civil War Diary of Leroy Wiley Gresham
Leroy Gresham was a 12 year old boy living in Macon, GA who began a diary shortly before the Civil War began and continued over 7 volumes until just after the war's end, when he died of spinal tuberculosis.
This diary was pretty much unknown outside of his descendants, but was eventually donated to the Library of Congress in the 1980's and finally published this month.
It's an interesting primary source of civil war era history. Even though he was young, he was an avid reader and read everything he could get his hands on for the latest Civil War news. He was pretty much confined to his bedroom due to an accident that crushed one of his legs at the age of 10, so reading and playing chess were about the only things he did.
The book contains a lot of citations that add context to his writings, but you can view the original hand-written source at the online Library of Congress.

Started Connelly’s “Two Kinds of Truth” the next Bosch installment. It’s great as always. Will probably finish this week. Thor’s “Lions of Lucerne” is up next.
