Charlie's Updated Deployment Reading List

Nothing new really, this month I was basically continuing to whip though my Alex Cross novels. Three more to go before I can start reading more "high brow" literature. I would love to find someone out there who has read "The Big Bounce." I would really like to get another opinion on it.

Top Books on this list:
-Shadow of The Wind
-Charming Billy
-Tuesdays With Morrie

Worst Books on this list:
-Summerland
-The House of The Seven Gables
-The Road To Wellville
