Catching up posting on the recent books I read

No one reads more than Twduff
as far as I know, but somewhere each day I take at least 15-30 minutes
to read some pages of the book of the moment. Recently I completed the
following due to my wonderful flight schedule the past few weeks:
- Night of the Avenging Blowfish: A Novel of Covert Operations, Love and Luncheon Meat by John Welter (from year 1994). This book had me laughing the whole way through only because the author is sarcastic as can be. A top secret baseball game between the CIA and Secret Service are one of the many plots twisted up in this book. If you ever wanted to see the president eat Spam this is the book for you.
- Windfall by Bagley Desmond. Takes place mostly in Africa and gives you a good lesson on geography to keep up. The basics is a large sum of money has been left by a dead man in Jersey (not the US but the country) and ends up going to a nonprofit organization in Kenya. How and why is the race to find out. A very believable character set makes the book move along.
- The Millionaires by Brad Meltzer. Fast read and I found it entertaining. How do you steal unclaimed money and not get caught by the FBI or Secret Service? Not his finest book, but it moves fast.
- Last Man Standing by David Baldacci. A team leader of the Hostage Rescue Team freezes on a job and the rest of his team gets wiped out. But he is left. Who did it and why is the chase of the book with a small love subplot mixed in. it was a nice twist towards the end, something you don't get as much in recent books.
