During this month I continued to read the New International Version, and the New King James Version, of the Bible.
Captain Flandry, by Poul Anderson, compiled by Hank Davis.
Excel Dashboards & Reports, by Michael Alexander and John Walkenbach
The Rembrandt Affair, by Daniel Silva
Obama's Wars, by Bob Woodward
Wicked Prey, by John Sandford
The Baburnama
The Poisonwood Bible, by Barbara Kingsolver
Wolf Hall, by Hilary Mantel
The World in 2011, by The Economist
The thing that struck me about Bob Woodward's Obama's Wars, was the degree to which the military refused to be pinned down with regard to either objectives or requirements. They kept putting themselves in a position so that they could say later on, as they now do, that they didn't get what they asked for. At one point, the President drafted up a memorandum of understanding and made everyone sign it.
