    The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch. Was pretty good. Just read it cause after school ends I don't want anything serious.

    Am reading the sequel now. Red Seas under Red Skies.

    A bit of a fantasy kick so am going to try to reread the Song of Ice and Fire trilogy by George Martin next to be ready for the next one coming out. Have meant to do this for a while. Its the greatest fantasy series ever by far IMO but its four 1000 page books so starting back in is a bit of a project.

    no but its on my list...Next up is a biography of Giap. Hands down the best "Nam" books I've read are "Bright Shining Lie" by Sheehan for a total perspective and "Steal My Soldier's Hearts" by Hackworth for getting an all to real feel for light infantry fighting.

    I've recently finished reading Gaius Marius: The Rise and Fall of Rome's Saviour.

    Marius rose from humble beginnings to be elected consul and to become the most powerful man in Rome. It's an excellent biography of a man who was a brilliant general, but a ruthless politician, as was his rival and worst enemy Sulla. Marius was Julius Caesar's uncle by marriage, and his friend Cinna was the father of Caesar's first wife.
