Reading a bunch of Russian history texts, and Livy.
I try and read that once every couple of years. Currently reading The Hobbit to my young one in preparation for the upcoming movie. Fantastic stories.
Mcbobs said:Has anyone read Micro? Its Michael Crichtons last book before passing away. I forced myself to finish it because I cant not finish a book, but i thought it was terrible. Definitely not his finest work...
Under the Banner of Heaven by Jon Krakauer.
just finished fight club, gonna start again with world war Z and bonfire of the vanities. (tried reading it last fall but kept forgetting about it.)
Halfway through The Wastelands (Book 3 of the Dark Tower)
Z is entertaining, but Bonfire is a great, great book.
Almost finished with American Gods by Neil Gaiman.
That is also on my to-do list. I've read a couple a long time ago. I think the first to Foundation books.
TexasSpartan said:I've got two books going right now.
The God Delusion - Richard Dawkins. Why there is no god. Good read so far, love the British dry humor (or humour) in it.
Scorecasting - Tobias J. Moskowitz and L. Jon Wertheim. It's basically Freakonomics applied to sports. While statistics are not my strong suit, it's pretty good.
The order Asimov lists them in is:
The Complete Robot
The Caves of Steel
The Naked Sun
The Robots of Dawn
Robots and Empire
The Currents of Space
The Stars, Like Dust
Pebble in the Sky
Prelude to Foundation
Forward the Foundation
Foundation
Foundation and Empire
Second Foundation
Foundation's Edge
Foundation and Earth
My wife just gave me a hardback edition of "The Complete Sherlock Holmes" by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle for my birthday. I have probably read every one of his stories before once or twice. This will be great to read sitting on the front porch swing this summer and if I don't get to it then. I'll read in front of the fireplace this winter.
Almost finished with "A Game of Thrones" my wife read it and i promised to finish it before I get home so we can watch the series together. After that it's "The Hunger Games" because my kid and I agreed to read it together before the movie come out.
Also reading "Brewing Up A Business" on the side.
I'm glued to 11/22/63, one of Stephen King's new ones.
