"Alone At Dawn" by Dan Schilling & Lori Chapman Longfritz

I always enjoy true stories that I am not up to speed on.  Alone at Dawn by Dan Schilling and Lori Chapman Longfritz is the story of a true hero--John Chapman and the untold story of the world's deadliest special operations force!  

The writing is so good that it made me feel I was in the battle!  This was a good read for the week of 9/11.  I want to thank all the men and women who have served and who are serving in our military forces.  I appreciate your sacrifice!  (Gerard's review, 5+ stars)

Teaser from page ix:  It's also the story of one man, John Chapman, who would earn the nation's highest honor for bravery when he saved the lives of twenty-three comrades at the willing cost of his own.  Finally, it is the history of John Chapman's fellow Combat Controllers during Operation Anaconda, America's first major operation in its ongoing Global War on Terror.

"The Name of the Wind" by Patrick Rothfuss (1st Book in The Kingkiller Chronicle Series)

In The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss, a man called Kvothe is telling his life story to a chronicler.  He has heard about Kvothe and wants to find out what is fact and what is fantasy.  This is the first of three books in this series.  This book covers his life until he is in his teens.  The stories in this book are really good!  It took me a while to get into it, but once I did, I had to keep flipping pages.  Not sure if this book is for everyone, but I enjoyed it!  It lived up to the hype for me.
