I sometimes read to inform myself, sometimes for pleasure.
Some books I've read over the last couple of years that I most enjoyed:
1. True Grit -- I read it after I watched to Coen Brothers' movie by the same title. Charles Portis is a master of stoy telling and entertaining word play.
2. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (and sister books The Girl Who Played with Fire and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets Nest) Crime thirller with a a bonus -- I learned a little about Sweden.
3. Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors; A memorable history story very well told. It's non-fiction but it's such a dramatic event so well narrated that I couldn't put down the book, even though i pretty much knew the outcome.
4. The Count of Monte Cristo -- Nothing new here, but the book, written for serial release had Parisians anxiously awaiting the next installment. 150 years later it's still a thrill ride and it only costs a buck for a Kindle download.
