| Does that have anything to do with the 101st Airborne ("Band of Brothers")?

| I just finished Robert Ludlum's "The Bourne Identity," and I'm now reading Pierre Ouellette's "The Deus Machine."

| I recall that frequent runs up and down Mount Currahee were part of the 101st's training regimen described in Band of Brothers, which is why I asked. Thanks.

| Although that book was very disgusting, for those who don't know, it is about the horrors of the Chicago meat industry before the Pure Food and Drug Act was passed. I am still eating meat though |

| Shogun, James Clavell A Short History of Nearly Everything, Bill Bryson The Family, Mario Puzo John Adams, David McCullough Band of Brothers, Stephen E. Ambrose The Cold Six Thousand, James Ellroy The Empty Chair, Jeffery Deaver The Vanished Man, Jeffery Deaver Ties That Bind, Phillip Margolin Star Trek: New Frontier, Peter David Of those books, I would consider the Margolin, Deaver and Puzo books "fun beach books", and whereas in the past, I would have been done with them in a day or two, this time, I'm not particularly absorbed by any of them. Strangely, I'm most taken with the Bryson and Clavell books. The McCullough, Ambrose and Ellroy are all "historical fiction/non-fiction" and have places of average interest in my list. Yes, I'm reading them all at the same time. I can't stand not having something around to read when I just want to pick something up to read.
