Condoleeza Rice's No Higher Honor. Not to bad, lets you in on a little bit of the back story of decisions that were made, probably the best line so far has been, "Today's headline and history's judgment are rarely the same." Which I think may just sum up a majority of political careers, either way, either party.
Reading a manga, Deadman Wonderland - haven't finished it yet, but I will soon. Incredible story, makes me ecstatic just thinking about delving into another volume, but there's only 12 and the author went on hiatus in January this year, so it might be awhile before more stuff comes out - still, an amazing story and plot; I'm jumping around my seat right now thinking of what could come next

i love the anime and just picked up the first two volumes.
Finished the 13th book of the Wheel of Time series. Waiting for the (supposedly) last one in March. Moved on to the Sword of Truth series and on the 4th book. Shocking how much Goodkind ripped off Jordan.

Have you read R.A. Salvatore Jamie? I'm really into his fantasy novels...waiting on the next WoT book leaves a big black hole inside me, I just can't get enough epic fantasy.

Read the winters night 4 book set. I would like to read more Salvatore but since a friend turned me onto the SoT series I have to finish it. Then I am going on to a set of Aikido books. Then I can get back to Salvatore stuff.
I still like the look, feel and smell of a real book.
I felt that way too until I got used to my Nook. I still like a real book, but the Nook has its advantages...for one, you can carry many books with you, which is quite handy if you read a lot and don't have the room for a ton of books. Another thing is the ease of getting a new book...simply search and buy, no driving to the nearest book store or library. I don't regret the transition to the Nook.

Our library offers ebooks (supposedly) but I've never tried it out. Have you, or any other e-reader folks, ever tried out something similar with your library? If so, how does it work? Is there a good selection?

I've never tried that myself, I don't know if my library has anything like that set up.
I just read a book called "Unbroken: a world war II story" by laura hilldenbrand, and it was phenomenal! It's about an olympic sprinter who joins the air corps during world war II, gets taken as a POW by the Japanese, and survives and makes it home. Really inspiring!

Then you should read 5 years to freedom by Col. James Rowe. Survived 5 years as a POW and then became the father of what is now known as SERE school.
