I'm just finishing, "Lone Survivor" by an American SEAL team member. Excellent!

Also reading:

Travels in the Interior of Mexico--in Baja California and around the Sea of Cortes...1825,1826, 1827, & 1828 by Lieutenant R.W.H. Hardy, Royal Navy

Also a very good book but a little stilted because............well that is the way the British wrote back then.

Donne with IN THE SHADOW OF THE VOLCANO..don't know what to read next still have a few Baja books left that i bought in the Pyramid book signing event . Mike H. tells a good story in his book about how you can sumerge your self in a totally diferent world and how to learn to love it.

'Black Robes in Lower California' by Peter Dunne, S.J. c1968 about the Jesuits and their missions in Baja California (1697-1768).

Reading the second book in a trilogy (friend loaned me the second one first, but it doesn't really matter). The Trilogy is "Memory of Fire" by Eduardo Galeano. This one is "Faces & Masks" and is short vignettes of mostly American history (only a very few concern Canada or the US of A). Very poetic. Not the “normal” history as taught in school, much more personal and tragic.
