Hitting the Mark

Well, I achieved my goal of reading 50 books in 2004. It's amazing what you can accomplish if you sequester yourself for the winter months. It occurs to me that once I post the latest ten titles, I'll need to follow up with a long booknotes-style post going back to book #27. At one point I was going to write a long form review of the Fussell books, but most of that material found it's way into a D-Day post; I still intend to (someday) provide a closer look at E.B. Sledge's With The Old Breed. In the meantime, here are the last ten titles.

42. See No Evil - Robert Baer
43. You Shall Know Our Velocity! - Dave Eggers
44. The Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors - James D. Hornfischer
