I am halfway through A is for Alibi by Sue Grafton http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/64... Not sure I will continue the series though. Too light for its genre for me..
Lately I've been into historical fiction so I think The Alice Network will be my next book.

I couldn't help myself. I ended up reading MIG Pilot: The Final Escape of Lt. Belenko. I looked him up on the internet as well. Turns out he married a teacher from ND. Belenko's account of life in the USSR is very much similar to other people I've spoken to who grew up behind the Iron Curtain. It seems that everyone living there at the time understood it was all a sham. But no one was willing to do anything to change it. They just went along to get along, toiling enough so survive to the next week. It's quite...depressing.
I finished Invasion Diary. I was thinking about starting the biography of Otto Skorzeny, Skorzeny, Hitler's Commando, sort of keeping a biography theme going, but decided on some military-SF, Terms of Enlistment
I finished the three Marko Kloos books I have; Terms of Enlistment, Lines of Departure and Angles of Attack. Now onto something a little different, CTRL ALT Revolt!, the book that got Nick Cole dropped by his publisher and which turned him into a minor indy publishing star.

I finished CTRL ALT Revolt!. It was one of the best novels of game playing I've read. I asked the author, Nick Cole, if it was always so snarky or if he'd re-edited it after the publisher dropped him. He said it became about 25% more bitter after the kerfuffle. It was quite funny.
I may have made a mistake. I started reading The Last Centurion because John Ringo can tell a good story. Heck, I'd read his grocery list because it would be freaking exciting. 5% in and they're talking about 1) an extended deep freeze because of the sun going inactive in 2019 2) an outbreak of H5N1...the bird flu...with a 60% mortality rate.
