Leadership secrets of the Rogue Warrior by Richard Marcinko....a little extreme but effective.

Good book, like his first 2, sad they went so far downhill after that.

For me, the holidays are all about relaxing and reading good tense thrillers, so over the past fortnight I've read

 

http://images.amazon.com/images/P/0007180586.02._PE00_OU02_SCMZZZZZZZ_.jpg

 

Excellent, set in Mobile, Alabama, really good plot with some nice unexpected twists, all it needs is a stunning looking woman of impeccable musical taste with an obsession with Neil Peart and David Gilmour.

Gret return to form for Rhyme and Sachs. Again, some nice twists and a very engrossing storyline.

Pure fluff, but enjoyable for all that.

Just into this now. She's an Irish writer based in Dublin, the book involves an NY detective moving to a village in my hgome county of Waterford. Shaping up nicely.

Right now I am in the middle of Dean Koontz's "Velocity". Good so far. I can't wait to see what happens next.

It's pretty good. My favorite "newish" Koontz book would probably be Intensity.

Velocity was well worth the time. Koontz has been turning out some good books lately. I still need to read "Husband" and "Forever Odd".

 

I just started on Grisham's "The Broker".
