Keith Richards's Life on my Nook Color.

[kaisersozei]

Also, since I spend so much time driving, I'm also listening to Stephen King's Under the Dome on CD. Unabridged, it's 30 discs. :jd

I'm just finishing this up. I was a big Stephen King fan his earliest days back in the 70s: loved Pet Sematary, Carrie, The Shining, many of his short stories, Christine, Salem's Lot. For me, The Stand & the Dark Tower series are probably the pinnacle of his work. He fell out of favor with me as an author in the 90's, though--too many words, too much "woe is me the poor tortured writer" bleck. And I never could get into much of his most recent stuff.

But I have to say, Under the Dome is right up there at the top of his best writing. Great mixture of horror, terror, dark comedy, a real human interest story. Very engaging from start to finish.

Also recently finished Catacombs by Anne Mcaffery and Elizabeth Moon Scarborough. Sadly this does not live up to these authors prior works. Story moves along very herky jerky like and the character development which has always been a Mcaffery strongpoint is strangly weak.

Last time I posted to this thread I was knee-deep in "The Golden Spruce" and "The Tiger" from Vaillant, "The Hungry Tide" from Ghosh, and "Cutting for Stone" from Verghese.

Vaillant's books were the best back-to-back books I have ever read from the same author. 2 completely different stories, both addictive after 10 pages.

"The Hungry Tide" is a book I would gift to mom, wife, sister that likes to read. Dragged a bit.

"Cutting for Stone" was great.

A Game of Thrones

[racerX]

Part of my bucket list is to read some well known classics. I've already read The Count of Monte Cristo, 20k Leagues Under the Sea, War of the Worlds and currently reading Around the World in 80 Days.

BTW, lots of these are free for downloading in Amazon for the Kindle and the Kindle app.

Great Idea - I did the same but went after Hemmingway - old man and the sea plus fitzgerald's great gatsby. Highly recomend both

Last week I finished License To Pawn: Pawn Stars. I recommend the book. Lots of good stories in there.

I started reading Black Mass about Boston mob guy Whitey Bulger.

The President and the Assassin by Scott Miller. Caught my eye in the bookstore yesterday. Didn't know much about McKinley and always wondered about the turn of the chentury anarchists.

Desperados: Latin Drug Lords, U.S. Lawmen, and the War America Can't Win by Elaine Shannon

Is there any mention of the border patrol? Book sounds interesting based just on the title.

Not yet, but one of the DEA Agents was prior BP.

The Unvanquished
It's good, but not one of Faulkner's best. A lot more straightforward than his best work.

I'm one of those who starts a book, puts it down, finds another, starts that one, and the it cycles back to the original book. I'm in the middle of Water for Elephants, The Book of Air, The Relic, House of Leaves, and Into the Wild. Sadly I'm about to start Simon Pegg's Nerd Do Well (but I'll probably finish this one)

The Relic is one of my favorite Douglas/Preston novels and what got me hooked on Agent Pendergast's many adventures.

Third book in the Game of Thrones series. Can't remember the name but it is good. I just woke up and my brain isn't functioning yet.

The third book is A Storm of Swords. Awesome series so far!!

I'm currently reading The Devil In The White City by Erik Larson. It's about the world's fair that was held in Chicago back in 1893 and a killer who stalked the city at that time. It's non-fiction and really good!

[Ranger_B]

Just started "In Fifty Years We'll all Be Chicks..... and other complaints from an angry middle aged white guy" by Adam Carolla. My Nephew got this for me for my birthday. I am quite sure he did not know what this is about but man is it funny.

Just finished Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen. For some reason I was reluctant to start it and it's been sitting unread on my Kindle for quite a while. Wow, what a mistake that was. Great book!

[Beagleone]

After watching the series on HBO, I started to read the books on my iPad. I am liking it a lot, but it has caused more than a few sleepless nights since I can't put it down. I just start Book 3 (A Storm of Swords) last night.

If you're into zombies/vampires it's a fun, quick read. The historical aspects are a little gimmicky, but it is kind of fun to come across a true reference from Lincoln's life (like how he met his wife) and see how the author turns it into something to do with vampires.
