What I'm reading: finished "Grace", about Grace Kelly, Princess of Monaco.
Just started Murder in the Gunroom by H. Beam Piper. Wikipedia. A comment at Volokh mentioned that Piper's works are now public domain. He shot himself in 1964, money troubles I think.
http://www.gutenberg.org/files/17866/17866-h/17866-h.htm#CHAPTER_1
Finished Murder in the Gunroom. Detective protagonist is a lawyer, historical gun expert, with a working knowledge of General Semantics and science fiction writing.
Fairly standard hardboiled whodunnit.
1 The American Black Chamber, Herbert Yardley.
2 Marco Polo if you can, William F Buckley.
3 Living History, Hillary Clinton.
4 Maui Revealed.
5 Another day in the frontal lobe.
6 Me, Katherine Hepburn.
7 The Rainmaker, John Grisham.
8 Todd and the Talking Pinata .
9 The Firm, Grisham.
0 A Confederacy of Dunces. - didn't like it, didn't finish it, it doesn't count.
10 Chuck Taylor: All Star, by Abe Aamador.
11 Anansi Boys, by Neil Gaiman
12 The Covenant, by James Michener,
13 At Ease: stories i tell to friends. Dwight Eisenhower.
14 How to get invited to the white house, Humes
15 John LeCarre, the Honorable Schoolboy.
16 All's Fair, by James Carville and Mary Matalin.
17 Reel Futures, By Forest J Ackerman. (not in order, read this in march)
18 And still I persist in Wondering,Edgar Pangborn
19 Virtual Light, William Gibson.
20 A Holiday for Murder, Agatha Christie.
21 Wild Talent, Wilson 'Bob" Tucker.
22. The Justice Story. True Crime stories from the new york Post.
23. Out of the Furrow, Autobiography of Kalamazoo's first Pediatrician, H. Sidney Heersma.
24: A book about Japan
25. Grace.
26. Murder in the Gunroom.
So I've only read one book in the last month, unless I'm forgetting something.
I got bogged down in the Japan book for awhile, still haven't finished it.
