    All of them. They are all really good/great. I'd probably say Shame the Devil, The Way Home, and The Night Gardener are the best. The Derek Strange books are good, too.

    If you haven't read any Richard Price yet, check him out too. I'd say he's even better than Pelecanos. Especially Samaritan and Lush Life.

    Has anyone read The Last Great Game? It's about the duke/Kentucky game in 92. I heard an interview with the writer, sounds awesome.

    Great book. I never realized what an idiot savant he was. That and how his ideas about new age self-healing directly led to his death.

    I just finished The Rook. Excellent book.

    I've been reading the New Bill James Historical Baseball Abstract. For the last month.

    It's a bit wordy.

    I just finished "The Reapers" written by John Connolly. I liked it but it's not for the faint of heart.

    Finishing up Conquistador: Hernan Cortes, King Montezuma, and the Last Stand of the Aztecs by Buddy Levy. Good read, seems to give a pretty fair treatment and is written at a good pace.
