Odd Hours by Dean Koontz.  It is part 4 of the Odd Thomas series that I love love love love love!  Plus, don't tell anyone but it has a decidedly conservative bent running through it.

I am reading The Travelers by John Twelve Hawks right now.  The book is incredible!  I picked it up for a quarter at a sale and decided finally to read it.  It is a series too.

I'm reading John Adams by McCullough right now. 

I really enjoyed The Devil in the White City by Erik Larson.

Just finished The Rising Tide by Jeff Shaara. It's as good as his other stuff. Maybe "awesome" is strong.

Last awesome book I read was The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov. (Christmas gift from SIL) I really loved it. Love, loss, deals with the Devil and lots of storylines. A classic. Also, it's really a "classic".  :-)

"Emergency Deep" by Michael DiMercurio. A book in a series about a sub captain turned CIA agent hired to stop terroist from getting a Russian nuclear sub and using it to nuke Israel.

He has written a lot of other books about subs and sub warfare.
