Well I'm putting together the latest travel reading pile.

George Washington's First War by David Clary. 
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0043RSKFI/ref=s9_simh_bw_p351_d0_g351_i1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=1CRXZA39HV1K9PMR7ZP5&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=1345685042&pf_rd_i=1286228011

The Last of the Mohicans
http://www.amazon.com/Mohicans-narrative-Leatherstocking-Tales-ebook/dp/B000JQV49G/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1333530981&sr=1-1
I know.  It's wordy as hell, but I enjoyed it once and thought it'd be worth a relook.

Ivanhoe
http://www.amazon.com/Ivanhoe-ebook/dp/B000JQUYI8/ref=pd_sim_kstore_2?ie=UTF8&m=AG56TWVU5XWC2
Another classic that I read and this makes me feel old about 25 years ago. 

And I have a couple others on the Kindle, but damned if I can remember.

I read Ivanhoe also 25 years ago in one weekend when I was punished. I loved the book!

Arctic Blast

Currently reading the base system book for Savage Worlds. After that will be a Walking Dead novel covering the rise of The Governor.

Ulfang

I'm in the last chapter and a half of Excalibur in Cornwell's Warlord Trilogy. One of the best series' I've ever read and ever book has been a gripping read. I'll be disappointed when its over although then I'll be moving in to the Saxon Chronicles.
Xfire: Ulfang
Steam/PSN/Xbox: Gavmundo

I couldn't agree more Ulfang.  Cronwell's Arthur series is awesome.

Martok

I just checked out a bunch of books from the library this morning.  I think I may have an impulse control problem...  :-[ 

Wanting a change of pace from having read almost nothing but Horatio Hornblower the last few months, I think I'm going to start with The Stupidest Angel by Christopher Moore.  I love (and own) a few of his books already -- Lamb and Fool are nothing short of brilliant IMHO -- and I haven't read this one before, so I'm very much looking forward to it.

Amusingly enough, The Last Kingdom (the first novel in the Saxon Chronicles) was one of the books I checked out earlier today so I could re-read it; I think it's been four years or so since I first read it.  Fantastic series! 

(Sorry, I know I've probably said that often enough both here and at WG that I sound like a broken record at this point, but I really do love Cornwell's writing.)
