I always loved to read....many mysteries and police procedurals...my favorites are by Michael Connelly, James Lee Burke, Walter Mosely, Tony Hillerman, and James Doss. I also read a lot of history (I also teach 6th Grade World History), anything by David McCullough, Walter Isaacson, and Stephen Ambrose.

Eh. Valdosta isn't so bad. Try the other end of I-75 in Georgia. I'm in the NW corner...between Rome and Chattanooga, TN. This area is deader than Elvis! We have to go either to Chattanooga or the Atlanta area for any good places to play.

............and hey! You're not that far from the beach, either! :D

I go through books like most people go through potato chips. I like techno thrillers, biographies, history, religious/spiritual, how-to books. I just finished Harry Turtledove's series on an alternate take to the Civil war and aftermath, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline-191 Excellent series if you dig alternative history.

My preferences are biographies and non-fiction. I just finished "The Land Where The Blues Were Born" by Alan Lomax. I have travelled through a lot of the Delta towns described in the book, and as a big fan of traditional blues music I will wholeheartedly recommend this one to anyone with an interest in the origins of Blues music.

ps... to Guitar Hurricane: I feel your pain brotha, I used to work in Valdosta a couple days a week when I lived in Tallahassee, and never got used to it.

Hang in there...

A very interesting take on a Confederate victory in "the war of Yankee Aggression", but becomes wholly unrealistic if you are a history buff like me because it entirely disregards the position of States Rights...the rights of the individual states to determine their destinies devoid of federal government interference....which was the primary reason the Southern states seceeded in the first place.

Have you read the alternate hisories by Newt Gingrich? They're very interesting, also.

There are many alt history writers, including Winston Churchill and Richard Dreyfuss. Fictional novels are like junk food for me.

Actually I should add that I am also reading "World War I" by John Keegan. Not an alternate, but a real history of the events that led to the conflict as well as the troop movements, and goals of the different armies.

Finsihed reading No Country for Old Men by Cormac McCarthy. I really recommend it! It's being made into a film by the Coen Brothers (of the Big Lebowski, Fargo and O Brother Where Art Thou fame) and it looks FANTASTIC. The book catches mood perfectly. Well worth it! 8)

I like westerns, Lonesome Dove being my favorite. Right now I'm reading a series of books by Elmer Kelton. This is funny because I haven't even been close to a horse for about 13 years now.

I also read the occasional biograpy, like Crossroads (Eric Clapton), Many Years From Now (Paul McCartney) as well as The Lives of John Lennon.
