Just finished: The Guns of the South by Harry Turtledove. A fascinating alternate-history read that will appeal to anyone interested in the Civil War. My only quibble is the fairly rapid character evolution of Lee (in pages, not in-character years), but I'll concede that in light of the excellence of the book and its already weighty length.
Currently: Understanding Terror Networks by Marc Sageman. I believe there's a thread about it.
On deck: A Path Out of the Desert by Kenneth M. Pollack. Again, I believe there's a thread.
