The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larson

Paperback

644 pages

Mystery Crime Thriller

Wow, I'll have to say that this was one difficult book to read. I almost quit reading it at the beginning and then at the end. At 644 pages it was a very long book at that! The end was the worse part, fortunately the author did deliver a good surprise ending that made it worth it.

The Amazon reviews were over the top. Me, meh. I say take it or leave it.

Happy Birthday Marines!

Happy Birthday to all Marines past and present. Once a Marine, always a Marine.
A special thanks to my brother, who enlisted first and put the spark in me to also enlist.

If it wasn't for my time in the Marines I would have never got my foot in the door into
the IT field.

Without a doubt being a Marine has changed me.

The Commandants message is always an important part of all Marine Corps birthday ceremonies.
I hope you enjoy it.

Semper Fidelis (Always Faithful)

Scat by Carl Hiaasen
Paperback
384 pages
Fiction / humor

This is the third book I have read from this author. It's a fun weekend read. The book is actually directed at young readers, but the humor is for all ages.

If you are looking for a good laugh and a weekend book try this one.

I guess I can try to write up a real book review someday!

The Bible - Various Authors
Paperback
1094 Pages
New International Version

This makes my tenth time reading the Bible cover to cover. I start on New Years day and work my way a couple of chapters a day and I always seem to finish mid November.

I'll have to admit that it's not the easiest read always, some of it shall I say is a bit boring and unfortunately difficult to understand, but I always take away something new.
