Heading to the beach next week and got my stack of books ready. In the spirit of totally off-topic threads that discuss personal tastes (such as the recurring threads on other hobbies), what types of books do you read and what have you read lately?
Me: Just finished "The Source" by James Michener and, prior to that, "Light This Candle" (biography of Alan Shepard).
My stack for the beach:
"Six Days of War: June 1967 and the Making of the Modern Middle East" by Michael Oren
"Paul Revere's Ride" by David Hackett Fischer
"American Sphinx: The Character of Thomas Jefferson" by Joseph Ellis
"Tai Pan" by James Clavell
"Isaac Newton" by James Gleick
Your turn.
