Just finished "The Third Target", by Joel Rosenberg

When "New York Times" foreign correspondent J. B. Collins hears rumors that an al-Qaeda splinter cell--ISIS--has captured a cache of chemical weapons inside Syria, Collins knows this is a story he must pursue at all costs. Does the commander of the jihadist faction really have the weapons? If so, who is the intended target? The U.S.? Israel? Or someone else? With tensions already high, the impending visit of the American president to the region could prove to be the spark that sets off an explosion of horrendous proportions. Knowing that terrorist forces are already trying to bring down two Arab governments in the region--Iraq and Syria--can Collins uncover the truth before it's too late? Or will the terrorists succeed in setting their sights on the third target and achieving genocide?

Quick snipet of Rosenberg's bio

A communications strategist based in Washington, D.C., for over fifteen years, he has worked with some of the world’s most influential and provocative leaders, including Steve Forbes, Rush Limbaugh, former Israeli deputy prime minister Natan Sharansky, and former Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu.


Just about to finish W. E. B. Griffin's "Presidential Agent Series"

The Patriot Threat by Steve Berry

The 16th Amendment to the Constitution is why Americans pay income taxes. But what if there were problems associated with that amendment? Secrets that call into question decades of tax collecting? In fact, there is a surprising truth to this hidden possibility.

Someone on TV board recommended this one and its awesome. Takes place in Baton Rouge so lots of recognizable places! Well written, although a bit dark.

Infinite Jest by DFW


Read the last 100 pages or so last week. I hated the ending the first time through but have read the book several more times and it's easily my favorite book now. Not easy but just brilliant.

Just came across this the other day, based on one of the greatest scenes every written. Anybody who is into Jest need to see it:

Eschaton


Just started - Neil Gaiman - Good Omens. I'm liking it a lot so far. Very much in the spirit of Douglas Adams.

The Brigade by Harold A. Covington.

It is about a cadre of white separatists who foresee the collapse of the USA due to third world fertility rates and how they seize the Pacific Northwest and secede to establish a North American homeland for white people only. Very gruesome and politically incorrect, but a must read for anti-federal government types.

Its a combination of very interesting/useful and a book you have to push through.

I'm reading Inherent Vice by Pynchon and it's awesome so far. Last one was Cats Cradle by Vonnegut, it was solid as well.
