Has anyone read the book CHAOS: Charles Manson, the CIA and the secret history of the sixties?
Haven't read it yet, but it is kinda going: read me.
I picked up an $8.98 On Sale/Closeout copy a few years back at the local bookstore. I like to grab high quality paperbacks on sale. This was decent binding, decent paper, large print, and a high quality picture section in the middle of the book. Footnote section and an index in the back. 520 pages. Seems professional enough.
I'm currently reading The Death and Life of Great American Cities by Jane Jacobs right now, which is a critique of city planning during the 1950's. Next up is Nuclear Folly: A History of the Cuban Missile Crisis by Serhii Plokhy, which is exactly what it sounds like.
On a side note, have any Kindle readers purchased the new Kindle Colorsoft yet? I've been trying to cut unnecessary spending lately, but it's honestly been tempting me.
Current Collection

So I do most of my reading during late fall and winter months and I am trying to finish up book 2 of the Stormlight Archive, -"words of radiance". These are very long high fantasy novels, each book is over 1000 pgs! I plan on taking a break from the series and read Tolkien's the "Silmarillian" finally.
This book on Magnetic Monopoles by Lawrence Wippler. He makes the case that all matter is made of north and south pole magnetic single poles and a particle of matter and space itself is made of these. A unified field theory. Great book.
