Books!!!

Some books I've read this year:
To End All Wars by Ernest Gordon
Goodbye, Darkness by William Manchester
All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque (that was a reread)*
The Road Back by Erich Maria Remarque*
We Who Dared to Say No to War by Murray Polner and Thomas E Woods, Jr.
Jesus for President by Shane Claiborne*
Generation Kill by Evan Wright*
The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini
A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini*

Some books I've started this year but not finished:
Lying-In: A History of Childbirth in America by Richard & Dorothy Wertz - a little too dry - even for me.
The Mahabharata - one of many sacred Hindu texts, and the world's longest epic poem (literally - I'm not trying to be funny). I should have done some research before buying this, at least so that I'd realize it's 900 pages long. I fully plan on finishing it, because it's quite fascinating, but it won't happen in 2009. :-) Obviously, I am reading an English translation, and not the original Sanskrit.
The Intimate Lives of the Founding Fathers - interesting, but there was a limit on how many consecutive times I could check it out of the library.
Maverick Marine: General Smedley D. Butler and the Contradictions of American Military History - I started reading this in one of my book-ADD spells and consequently never finished it. I think it will be good, I just have to get back in the right mood for it.
Forever War by Joe Haldeman - recommended to me by my adopted brother. It's a bit too sci-fi for me; the concepts I get, but the details get in the way and I lost interest about 30 pages in. (Sorry, Spook.) He insists I give it another shot, so I probably will -eventually.

Hoping to read in 2010:
Forever Peace by Joe Haldeman - Spook insists this is not sci-fi, so I'm giving it a go. I really do want to like Joe Haldeman.
The Mahabharata - I dunno, this one might not happen 'til 2011.
Gilead by Marilynne Robinson - recommended by a like-minded friend from work
The Worst Hard Time by Timothy Egan
Anything by JRR Tolkien that I haven't already read

* - extremely good and I recommend it.
