So far, a great read!

A hilarious satire in which the protagonist goes around the 19th century Russian countryside buying the titles to deceased peasants from landowners.

Right now I am finishing up “To Kill a Mockingbird”.

I definitely recommend it.

These two I have not read yet, but captured my interest: Viktor Suvorov – The Chief Culprit: Stalin’s Grand Design to Start World War II, and Victor Davis Hanson – The Soul of Battle.

Jaguars Ripped My Flesh-Tim Cahill

I also really want to read “In Defense of Food” by Michael Pollan after I read a review at http://gastronomyblog.com/2009/03/20/in-defense-of-food-michael-pollan/

It was recommended to me by one of my teachers last semester and if you have any interest in philosophy its a must read in my opinion. Also, you don’t need to know anything about motorcycles so don’t let the title deter you!
