Mad Dogs

30 pages of back story nearly 2/3rds of the way through. At least it was easy to skim.

Mad Dogs

Hunter’s Moon

Keeps you involved. Weird and twisted.

Hunter’s Moon

Wolves, Jackals and Foxes

A lot of details and some pretty weird stories. Goes on a bit too long, but easy to skim the parts of no interest.

Wolves, Jackals, and Foxes: The Assassins Who Changed History

South of Shiloh

If you are not interested in the Civil War, some of the detail may make your eyes glaze over. Pretty good read overall.

South of Shiloh: A Thriller

The Golden Warrior

Plenty of detail. Post 1919 part a bit tedious. Sheds light on the differences between legend and fact.

Theodore Roosevelt

I, for one, would rather cut off my hand than see the United States adopt the attitude either of cringing before great and powerful nations who wish to wrong us, or of bullying small and weak nations who have done us no wrong.

Captain Blood

I kept seeing Errol Flynn but found the book surprisingly engaging. Keeps a brisk pace.

Breakpoint in Application_Error

If you are trapping errors in the Application_Error event, you need to change the VS 2008 Debug settings to let the error pass through to the app event, rather than breaking at point in the code where the error occurred.

Under Options / Debugging / General – uncheck Enable Just My Code

Enter Null value in Management Studio

To enter a NULL value into a table through Management Studio, use ctrl+0 (zero)

Soul Circus

A lot of surprises, especially at the end.

Right as Rain

How Strange and Quinn met – pretty good. A bit convoluted at the end.
