Re: What are you reading currently?
I just finished Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy and really liked it. I had read a couple of other books by John le Carre and while they had their moments I kind of wondered how he got such a strong reputation. This one crushed the other two. Really strong spy novel, and the movie just came out (book was written in the 70s I think).

Just picked up John Grisham's The Litigators. I will start reading next week. I'm a huge Grisham fan.
Re: What are you reading currently?
Just bought the latest two Dirk Pitt novels from Clive Cussler. Hope they're as entertaining as most of his earlier books.

I just started on "Elantris" by Brandon Sanderson. I blew through the first 90 pages in what seemed like about 20 minutes, because it was that interesting. I'm really likin' it thus far.

Entreleadership by Dave Ramsey. Fantastic.

Try Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series. Sanderson is finishing it off since the author died. He gave Sanderson all his notes and audio recording to finish the series.

I made it through 5 or 6 of those back in the day, but it just got too soap-operaish for me (from what I remember).

Trying to read the (Pulitzer prize winning!?!?) A Confederacy of Dunces right now. It's not quite living up to its reputation of being hilarious (or funny at all).
