Probably a lot of us don't have as much time to read as we'd like. But I'll ask it anyway: Besides Golf Rewind, what do you read? I guess I'm mainly curious about books you're reading (not necessarily about golf), but any reading counts (newspapers, magazines, web sites where you go to read not to post).

Tonight I finished reading a good book: Trafalgar: The Nelson Touch, by David Howarth (New York: Phoenix, 2003; paperback, 176 pages). The book is a re-issue of the original, which appeared in 1969. It's about the Battle of Trafalgar, which our UK friends must know all about. That's the great naval battle fought in 1805 between the British and the French/Spanish fleet. The Brits won a great victory but lost their admiral, Horatio Nelson, who was killed by a French sniper. It was probably the last major sea battle fought between two fleets of square-rigged sailing ships. If you saw the movie Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World, you know the kind of ships I mean. Lots of technical terminology, but the events leading up to, during, and after the engagement are fascinating, and are well-told by the author.

Next up is a work of science fiction, probably In the Ocean of Night, by Gregory Benford. Not exactly great literature, but the author is a physicist, so I'll get some science along with an interesting story line (first contact between humans and a race of intelligent machines).

How about you? Do you have a good summertime read going?
