I thought so too. Jay Doybns AKA "Bird" was interviewed on Coast to Coast a few months back.

This is great to hear. I picked up several books a couple of months ago and this was one of them I just haven't gotten around to reading it yet.

I'm usually more of a Science Fiction/ Fantasy book reader. I sometimes have 2 or 3 books I will read at the same time like I started "The Ghost King" by R.A. Salvatore in order to finish out the series, but I started the submarine book. I have "No Angle" to read and a second part to a zombie series I read The morningstar strain "Thunder and Ashes" by Z.A. Recht.

I've read a couple of other books of undercover agents who infiltrated the biker gangs and I love reading them.

Re: What Are You Reading?

"Under and Alone, The true story of an undercover agent who infiltrated America's most violent outlaw motorcycle gang" by William Queen is awsome also.

Perhaps this was the only other. I thought there was another but I may be wrong. This one was awsome though.

Just started "The Girl With Dragon Tatoo". One of a three part series written by Stieg Larsson who is now deceased.

I'll give a recap when I'm done.

Read and saw the movie both are excellent. Movie is probably one of the best adaptions I have ever seen it was near flawless.

That's what I hear. I nearly saw it before I picked up the book. I hear "The Girl That Played With Fire" is now out in theaters.

If I dear say depending on your level of reading or speed of reading if you will; watch the movie it will save you the time of reading the book and you will have lost nothing in the story.

I can't think off the top of my head any other movie/book combo that I have ever said that for.

Oh and the movie is sub-title so you are kind of reading it! Unless of course you speak Swedish fluently.

Re: What Are You Reading?

Currently reading "Nathan Bedford Forrest - A Biography." Great book about a troubled overachieving warrior. He rose from Private to 4 star general, the highest ascention in all of American History. And was a tactical cavalry genius.

Very interesting read for you history (civil war and military) buffs.

Great military career, but wasn't he the founder of the KKK, or some kind of higher up? And if I'm not mistaken, I think he also got in trouble for mass execution during the Civil War?

Either way, he was definitely troubled, but I'm not sure I'd call his net "accomplishments" overachieving.

Re: What Are You Reading?

I got the new Kindle for my birthday. It's really a nice device....It does one thing and it does it really well. Two thumbs up...and if you decide to get one be sure to spend the extra $ for the free 3G one.

Re: What Are You Reading?

I have been reading the The Hunger Game trilogy, easy read (intend for teens-preteens) but really good story line. Pick it up if you like Sci Fi / Harry Potter type stuff.
