I rather enjoyed O'Reilly's 'Killing Lincoln' and I have yet to crack open 'Killing Kennedy'. I have a few historical books I need to start too, one on Shackleton's lost expedition and another on Counterintelligence in WWII.
I tend to re-read things I like. I'll start Huck Finn again this summer for about the 40th time
I'd like to get the volumes of ' the Trail of the Stanley Cup' but man that's a pricey endeavor

Cool list!
You may enjoy the story of the SS Republic shipwreck, "Lost Gold of the Republic" by Priit J. Vesilind:

If you like espionage and stuff try out anything on the "Venona" project. A really great book on the amazing efforts to conceal the search for a sunken Russian sub, K-129, can be found with "Project Azorian" by Polmar and White:

Yeah, I read WAY too much.
