Yes, there are so many, but I just re read The Distant Mirror (The Calamitous 14th Century) by Barbara Tuchman. It is a narrative of France and England during the 100 years war. I believe it is out of print now but you can probably get a copy through Amazon or ABE Books. I highly recommend it. Barbara Tuchman has also written a very famous book, The Guns of August, about the origins of WWI. Seriously there is so much out there. Some times it is best to pick an era or country that interests you. For me, I am a specialist in French royalty of the of the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries.I read mostly non fiction history. Mostly European.

I do have a system for the black jack table and it can be yours for just $29.95...but if you send me your money in the next 10 minutes, you'll get it at the low low price of $19.95. I'd throw in a free gift, but I'm still waiting for my HB Beanie.I think Arnie is trying to scam some folks, anybody else?
maybe hes trying to get rich quick? Maybe its better then the old commercials with the crazy jacket with the question marks all over it.

Arnie, I've read Busting Vegas and Bringing Down The House. Great books! I liked Busting Vegas a little more. Especially their story of busting the casino in Monte Carlo.

Cool Tyler...I look forward to finishing Busting Vegas. You'd probably like his other non-fiction book, Ugly Americans, has a similar feel to it. Downside is, unlike his other books, he never hits on the exact formulas/systems they use in the Asian market...but still a good read. -

Most anything by John Grisham. I've read all his books and waiting for the next one.
Wild Stories: The Best of Men's Journal
The Summer He Didn't Die. Jim Harrison
The Grapes of Wrath, John Steinbeck. An all time classic.
There are many other that could go on this list. Since I am on a job where on the average evening, there are 7.5 hours out of 8 that there is no work to do, I get a lot of reading in. I might scan this list for my next book to read! Here is a link to my library (still incomplete).

Anne Rice has a relatively new book out called Christ the Lord: Out of Egypt that is very interesting. It's supposed to be the beginning of a new series focusing on Jesus' life between the ages of 7 and 30. The years that are missing from the Biblical accounts. It's fictionalized of course but it's interesting and very respectfully done.

Wow. My best friend was writing a screenplay that was going to focus on Jesus' life between those years but in a modern day setting. Right before he finalized the script he had a near life ending injury that has left him with a brain injury that he's fighting to recover from.
