Miller's Book Meme...

There is a meme going around where bloggers are asked to talk about their favorite book.  For some reason no one has sought my opinion.  Instead of being hurt, I thought I would start my own, with different questions.

1. What is the last book you read, the book you are currently reading and the next book you plan to read:

  • Memorial Day - Vince Flynn
  • Angels & Demons - Dan Brown
  • When Boston Won the World Series - Bob Ryan

2. In no particular order, what are your five favorite works of fiction:

  • The Hot Zone – Richard Preston
  • Without Remorse – Tom Clancy
  • Grapes of Wrath – John Steinbeck
  • Transfer of Power – Vince Flynn
  • The Legend of Bagger Vance – Steven Pressfield

3. In no particular order, what are your five favorite non-fiction books:

  • Men at Work, The Craft of Baseball – George Will
  • Band of Brothers – Stephen Ambrose
  • Fighting Back – Bill Sammon
  • Confessions of a Baseball Purest – Jon Miller
  • The Primal Teen – Barbara Strauch

4. Who are your five favorite fiction writers:

  • John Steinbeck
  • John Grisham
  • Vince Flynn
  • C.S. Lewis
  • Tom Clancy

5. Who are your five favorite non-fiction writers:

  • Stephen Ambrose
  • Ann Coulter
  • Hugh Hewitt
  • Peggy Noonan
  • Max Lucado

6. What book[s] (other than Scripture) have you read more than once:

  • Men at Work, The Craft of Baseball
  • The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
  • Of Mice and Men
  • This Present Darkness
  • Piercing the Darkness

7. What autographed books do you own, and who signed them:

  • If It’s Not Close, They Can’t Cheat – signed by author Hugh Hewitt
  • Embattled Dreams, California in War and Peace, 1940 – 1950 – signed by author Dr. Kevin Starr, Former CA State Librarian.
  • Recollections of Reagan – signed by contributor Pete Wilson, Former Governor of California.
  • Miwoks to Missiles – signed by author John Soennichsen

Now it is my turn to tag some folks with this meme. Let's see how  Budlog, Mad Mikey's Blog, The Window Manager, XRLQ and Infinite Monkeys answer the questions above.

That is all.  I have provided links to each of the above books in the extended entry of this post.
