Slow Reads, need more reading time.

Well life has been busy so I haven't had much time to finish the four books I am reading right now. What time I have I am really engross in the book Behind the Lines by Andrew Carroll. Its the book of soldier's letters. It is really fascinating as it is written from the many sides of conflicts from the Revolutionary War and through present day conflicts. I am loving it, but it is a bit of a slow read. There are times its a little to tactical for my tastes, but overall its good.

I am also listening to the audio tape of Invitation to Provence. This one started out slow, but once it picked up its pretty good. I think some of the dialogue is a bit forced, but overall pretty good.

The other two I am in the middle of, I hope to finish up soon is His Excellency: George Washington by Joseph Elllis and Heart and Soul by Maeve Binchy. Maeve is one of my all time favorite writers, so I am really waiting until I have the time to sit and read the whole thing and savor it. I started it a week or so ago before Behind the Lines was delivered and then I have been engrossed in that, I just haven't had enough time to read anything much and its frustrating me!
