The author is a retired law professor at the New York Law School.  He is not an historian.  Should have paid me to proof read it before he published.

By way of example:

The author refers to Lincoln's son, Edward, as "Tad."  Edward Baker Lincoln (1846-1850) was Lincoln's second son.  "Tad" was Thomas Lincoln (1853-1871), Lincoln's fourth and youngest son.

147 is my record for factual errors in a book. Of course that was pre-publication... luckily for the author.

Fiona Walker "Lucy Talk" great fun read, chick-lit. One more addition to my growing chick-lit library.
Much better than watching any soapies or serials, save "Friends" ? Could be
And no one hogging the remote either - what a blessing!

Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card

I love this book!

Seconded! Have you read Ender's Shadow? It's told from Bean's point of view.

I'm reading American Gods by Neil Gaiman, Durarara!!, and Preacher.

[Elsa]

reading Dance with Dragons - George R. R. Martin

[Alexis]

Seconded! Have you read Ender's Shadow? It's told from Bean's point of view.

I thought all three of the Shadow novels were written so much better than the Ender's series, and I loved the Ender's books

Just finished the Divine Comedy - Dante Alighieri - worst translation ever, I think would have been better off reading it in Italian
I'm starting into The Judgement of Paris - George Taber

I'm in the middle of My Name is Red by Orhan Pamouk (bloody great book, re-reading it, trying not to cringe at the American English translation), about to start Body of Glass by Marge Piercy. Taking a temporary break from all the YA LGBT fiction I've been reading lately .

[Felix]

I've been on a zine bender. I put in holds lately for all the history stuff by Sarah Mirk that I hadn't read yet, and I'm also plowing through all the education-related, sex positive/queer, and Portlandy zines I find at the handful of nearby libraries.

I managed to get hold of the twelve volumes of Casanova's unexpurgated memoirs. On volume two and having a wonderful time.
