"Five Days at Memorial" is the first book club selection at Morning Joe. It's about the crucial five days of Hurricane Katrina at the Memorial Hospital ...apparently it's one of those books you can't put down.

THE PRINCE OF TIDES by Pat Conroy. The book does a lot the famed movie doesn't, like describe things from a poet's point of view.

"Love is Letting Go of Fear," by Gerald G. Jampolsky, M.D. Very good little self-help book.

"8 Habits of Love" by The Rev. Ed Bacon...non-fiction self help type of category about the struggles of fear and love within each of us.

I agree with you on Shakespeare 100 per cent, Lisa.  HAMLET is a favorite work of writing and fiction to me -- not merely drama, but as writing and fiction, it stands head and shoulders above most works of dramatic fiction I've read (although I'll admit Dickens came close at times).  If I was in Hollywood then, I'd have wanted to not only buy the script but give the writer a 20-year contract with a million-dollar advance.

Have just started BioWars by Stephen Coonts.

Its about an intelligence gathering agency that is answerable ONLY to the POTUS. Much like the FBI infringements of today. With an exception. Outside the US, anything goes. Inside the US, Constitutional, federal, state, local  laws or observed and a properly issued warrant must be obtained
