Laurence Sterne: Tristram Shandy and A Sentimental Journey (Modern Library)
Taylor Branch: Parting the Waters : America in the King Years 1954-63 (America in the King Years)
The first in the trilogy of the history of Civil Rights Era. I'm re-reading this book on my Kindle. (*****)
Ethan Brown: Shake the Devil Off: A True Story of the Murder that Rocked New Orleans
Shoddy, bone-picking, and poorly written. Don't waste your time. (*)

One of the best biographies I've ever read. (*****)
Carl Hiaasen: Basket Case
An amusing newsroom mystery. (***)
Bob Morris: Bahamarama
A nice little bit of fratirical literature. (***)
Steve Coll: Ghost Wars
Very interesting book. Ghost Wars is vital reading for anyone wishing to know more about the background to the current situation in Afghanistan. (****)
Donald Westlake: Watch Your Back!
Amusing but not up to the high quality of Westlake's best work. (**)

Good book but workmanlike prose. Solid biography of a largely forgotten figure who did much to make modern cities what they are. (***)

A scholarly look at Bryan that dispels popular misconceptions. (****)

(****)

No kidding. It's Ronan, which is on the Flathead Indian Reservation. It's named after a Civil War officer who was an Indian agent.
If you follow the link above and click on "Photo Gallery" you will see Lake Mary Ronan in the background of the photo of the red barn.
Is there a lake with your name on it?
