About meI'm a married Dad working for "The G" in NOVA.

I'm not much of a "people person". They tend to annoy me.

If you met me you probably wouldn't like me, either.

Sorry. It's true.

About my libraryIn looking over this list it looks like the only thing I'm interested is Civil War History. That's not entirely correct.

I like World War II history as well.

Actually, the only reason why these subjects are so over-represented is because I get most of my books from the library and only purchase Civil War books from Amazon.

Used, of course. No way I'm paying $25 for some book that I'm only going to read once.

I tend to read books about U.S. military and political history, international relations and the Foreign Service, rock & roll history and culture, comic books, Catholicism, and wombats.

So I guess you could say that I like to read just about anything.

Well, that's not true, either.

I won't be reading Al Franken or Maureen Dowd's new books anytime soon. You can be damn sure of that.

But if it's topical and interesting and it got some decent reviews, I'm usually willing to check it out.

The real problem is finding the time to read.

If there were only 48 hours in a day. Or if I had a watch that could stop time like that Burgess Meredith episode of "The Twighlight Zone".

If you've got any recommendations, please feel free to suggest them.
