Right now, it's all about final-edit and getting 2nd novel to the publisher...

...but yeah, lots of reading, too. Top of the list: "Design And Development of British Cruisers," Dr. Norman Friedman and "Chakra Healing," Kalashatra Govinda.

Just finished, "Stradivari's Genius," Toby Faber. Outstanding. And "Swords Around The Throne--Napoleon's Grande Armee," John Elting.

I'm a big Dean Koontz fan. He's got a couple coming out in the next couple months. Can't wait. I also want to get the new Vince Flynn (Mitch Rapp kicks major butt!) and Hostile intent by james allen. The sequel is coming out for that one soon (apostles of chaos).

I usually have a few books on the go at one time-short attention span-and I'm currently reading Keith Richard's-Life,Bob Dylan's -Chronicles and the Mayan Prophesies.

One Train Later - the Andy Summers autobiography is a good read, although it's a little unspectacular. Fans only, perhaps ? Particularly interesting are his accounts of his early days & the episode where he chased Hank Marvin a long, long way in an attempt to get his autograph. Hank was terrified.

Ozzy's book is an odd one. Too much excess for one man to have in nine or ten lifetimes. Weirdly, i liked him less at the end of it than i did at the start.

Yes, he did. If i remember rightly he was in bed in his trailer when the accident occured.
Both he & Sharon to this day are devastated by it. It's a very moving part of the book.

I ended up feeling a great admiration for Sharon. How the hell she stood by him, i don't know.
