Thanks Baron!! I love McCollugh, and I'm a Revolutionary War buff, so I don't see how I can miss on this one!!

I was an early cross dresser. You would know me as Betsy Ross.

QuoteI finished reading "The Strain" 3-4 weeks ago - you'll love it...

Heh. Guillermo Del Toro has been here in Melbourne having written (?) a new horror film that Katie Holmes is starring in, filming here. He was in the shop a few weeks back ogling a Rocketeer bust but hasn't been back yet.
Anyway one of our SF book customers joked that THE STRAIN is an autobiographical book about Del Toro going to the loo.
:D
Sorry Guillermo, but see the funny side, man....

Just got into Alive In Necropolis by Doug Dorst.

  Takes place in one of my favorite towns: Colma, California.  Where most of the residents reside underground.

"Our Vanishing Landscape" by Eric Sloane...wonderful look at the many early building methods, technologies, and ways of life in America.  Illustrated with beautiful drawings.  Quite a read...brings the past to life!
Beautiful moving, shifting colors!

Eric Sloane is not only a good writer but a fine artist.  I love his illustrations and used to use prints of some of his work way back when I was teaching Freshman American History.

Just now delving into David McCullough's "1776".



Great book.  Do not pass over his John Adams either if you have not read it..

Just finished up:

I'm reading about Houdini but I'm not making lots of progress.  I'll probably have to read it a 2nd time.
