Oooh, I didn't know Shadow Puppets was out! Definitely need to look for that!

Blindside: I think I did read "The Hedge Knight" when it was first published. Martin needs to get on the ball and friggin' write.

William Goldman's "Good Parts Version" of the Princess Bride which is, as I was told, better than the movie. Impossible as that may seem.

Harry Potter 3 and the Lord of the Rings will be next to bring me current prior to the film releases. I hope.

And the Bible of course.

I can't say "reading" because I didn't put it down and read it cover to cover this Sunday. Star Wars "Shatterpoint".

It's times like these that make me realize that my wife is right. I am a geek. When it comes to Star Wars stuff, I just can't get enough


Shatterpoint

I was at the library and found a new book. I love it so far. It's called "sensei" by John Donahue.It's a thriller.Someone is killing the great martial artists of America.In every case the modus operandi is the same and the only clue available is a cryptic message scrawled on the wall bearing the signature "Ronin"-the Japanese word for a masterless samurai.Check it out. I'm on page 63 and I can't put it down.

I merged in a separate post.

This has turned out to be a popular thread. For clarity I'm going to start three new threads for martial arts books, fiction, books and nonfiction books, so people can refer to the martial arts thread especially for suggestions.
