Recently finished: The Brass verdict by Michael Connelly

Reading: The Scarpetta Factor - can't remember the author
The 4hr Body by Tim Ferriss if you're looking to get into shape,
book is the truth!

[irratebass]

I heard that was a good read. Just started Midnight In The Garden Of Good And Evil by John Berendt.

Dan it's really good and hard to put down from page one. Highly recommended.

Getting ready to start RED by Sammy Hagar (I'm a sucker for biographies, autobiographies and true crime)

[irratebass]

That is a very good book.

Tonight I finished Blood Covenant by Michael Franzese. It is a mob guy book. I recommend it :tu

Never heard of that, tell me more.

Tell me the pros and cons CigarNut

[CigarNut]

Never heard of that, tell me more.


Tell me the pros and cons CigarNut
There are several threads here and whole forums on other sites dedicated to this question.

I like books -- I mean holding real paper books. I like the smell of paper books. When I vacation I take lots of books with me, which makes it a pain to travel. To make my life easier I looked around at e-readers and I like the Kindle the best. The E-ink screen is better than any other for reading. No eyestrain and I can read it anywhere. The Kindle holds lots of books and it is easy to download more (free and purchased).

Other people will have their opinions on other devices and we are all right -- we each have the best device for us. Before you buy just make sure that you really check out the screen -- indoors and (especially) outdoors in the Sun. The latter is why I don't have an iPad for reading (the glossy, backlit display sucks as an e-reader).

Thanks Michael.

My sis n law is dropping hints to my wife about getting me one for Christmas, but I am having a hard time jumping on to the wagon, considering they are one of the reasons Borders have went under, and that makes me sad.

Of course I could just be ignorant.

[CigarNut]

I look bookstores too - love to browse and hang out. We have a local bookstore (Powell's) that is wonderful. Even though I have a Kindle I still buy real books. Like I said -- I like real books. My Kindle is a convenience that I have come to like and rely on, but I manage to live in both worlds...

IMHO, the economy and poor management had more to do with Border's problems that the Kindle and e-readers did...

[shilala]

Battlecry of Freedom. It's a long, drawn out book on the Civil War. I'm thoroughly enjoying it. No idea who the author is, I went past that page a long time ago. :)

A History Of The World In Six Glasses by Tom Standage

[Beagleone]

I just finished "A Dance with Dragon" The fifth book from George R.R. Martin in the Song of Ice and Fire series. I really liked it, and the entire series. It took me two months of constant late night readings to read the complete series. Now I am looking for something new to read. Need to change it up a bit though.

[DTM]

Also just finished A Dance with Dragons. Excellent series so far. Now I am reading One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. A guy here at work has been swapping books with me and said this is one of his favorite books so I am giving it a shot.

"Debt: The First 5,000 Years" by David Graeber
anthropological research into the history of debt and its precedence over money in human history. Only about 1/4 into it so far. Some of the cites to classic economics works are a little over my head but it's a fascinating read.

[rebelknight]

Just finished da vinci code and suck on this year. Starting fates worse than death today

[The Poet]

I have finally, after nearly 40 years of attempts and false starts, finished Finnegan's Wake. Yippee!! But don't ask me to tell you what it's about, save that I know it's about 630 pages long. :D

Due to this, I've decided my brain needs a bit of a break, so aside from my fun reading (I have a copy of Azimov's Foundation And Earth handy in my bathroom), I've begun Marcel Proust's A la recherche du temps perdu . . . in translation, of course, as my French is a bad as my German, and nearly as poor as my Klingon. Said translation used to call these six volumes Rememberance of Things Past, but I understand it is now referred to as In Search of Lost Time.

Because that newer English title makes me think some guy has misplaced his timecard, I'll continue to refer to it by the former. ;)

[jledou]

Read through the Hunger Games Trilogy - pretty dark for a young adult set but the writing is very much in the young adult range.
Also working to finish up Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, I will chalk it up to me being an engineer but I am not a huge fan of this one with only ~60 pages left.

[elderboy02]

I finished 102 Minutes: The Untold Story of the Fight to Survive Inside the Twin Towers the other day. I would recommend it :tu

[DTM]

Rereading The Strain by Guillermo Del Toro and Chuck Hogan. My wife bought me the second book in the series, The Fall, and its been a while since I read this so don't remember much from it.

[eber]

Just finished "Secrets of the Sommeliers" by Rajat Par and Jordan Mackay, a fantastic read if you are into wine and want to learn more about it, especially French wine and more specifically the Burgundy region.

I am also working on "Unbroken" by Lauren Hillenbrand and "The Wine Bible" by Karen MacNeil, this one is going to take a while.

[Moose6026]

Just finished a book called Open Season, can't reember the author though. Good fictionla story about a game warden finding a thought to be extinct weasel.

But don't ask me to tell you what it's about, save that I know it's about 630 pages long. :DYou're a better man than I am. I've attempted Finnegan's wake a couple times and Ulysses at least four times. But that's it for me. I've decided to admit defeat rather than submit myself to that kind of punishment again. I gave away my copies of both a few years ago.

Better? Highly debatable. More stubborn? Quite possibly. I have read Ulysses 3 or 4 times over the years, the first as a college course. The professor advised us on day one that there would be many things we did not understand, and the trick was to just keep on reading regardless.

As well as this served me with Ulysses, it was essential with Finnegan's Wake . . . which makes the former read like Dick and Jane. :r

[elderboy02]

Just finished: The Lincoln Lawyer

I highly recommend it! :tu

A Dance with Dragons - George RR Martin.

Will be starting An American Life by Ronald Reagan a little later today.

[timj219]

O Plata O Plomo? "The Abduction and Murder of DEA Agent Kiki Camarena" by J. Kuykendall.

[rebelknight]

A History of God is an excellent read. I really enjoyed it. I read "When God Was a Woman" by Merlin Stone right after it and that's a good book too.

Still working my way through history of god. I actually really enjoy it which i rarely say about school related reading. Finished my other book so i just started merit badges. I picked most of these up from borders for a nickel before they went out of business so hopefully i find some keepers

[irratebass]

Getting ready to start Steven Tyler's book, which I could really care less to read, but I am out of books at the moment and someone let me borrow it, so what the hell.

[BnBTobacco]

I'm reading Sabroso! The Flavors of Spain (Cookbook). I'll be trying these one of these days.

[jsnake]

Just finished A Dance With Dragons and I have to say George R.R. Martin is a ****tard and the worst writer in the history of story telling. I do not want to give away anything and ruin Game of Thrones for those watching it on TV but trust me you will all be pissed off by the end of it. Probably be another 5 or 6 year wait for the next book. So glad I did not pay to read this garbage.

Ripples of Battle: How Wars of the Past Still Determine How We Fight, How We Live, and How We Think by Victor Hanson

The Enemy by Lee Child

[Lonely Raven]

I just finished the first four books of Game of Thrones. When the show came on I didn't realize it was a book series, and honestly, the show is so well done, I feel like I read the first book twice!

I'll wait for book 5 to come out on paperback before I buy it. Or I'll get the audio book version if I take a long trip this winter.

I just plowed through Infection by Craig DeLouie (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1934861650) which is probably one of the *best* zombie books I've read (great pacing, and reads like you're watching a movie).

And now I'm starting in on The Passage by Justin Cronin (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0345504976) which came highly recommended by many friends, and appears to be an ongoing series.

I have other books I'm actively flipping through, but not really reading or getting into because they are too heady for me. (electronics books that are currently over my head)

I will agree that this was a very good book. Can't wait for the others to come out. I am currently reading The Walking Dead : Compendium One. It is the first 48 issues of the comic series. So far it is awesome. Can't wait for the show to resume in about a week.

I think Neuromancer was one of the better ones. It's obvious with his later books that he would start and get lost and not know where he was going with the stories. He actually had fans on the internet help guide him to some of his endings.

Harry Potter 7. I've read all the books before but I needed something that I knew would get me back into a reading mood because I'm struggling through my other books.

"The White Company" by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Tough read, kinda like reading Shakespear. Good though.

I would disagree with that. I very much enjoyed the whole trilogy as did everyone I shared the books with.

Well I am not a reader but I almost picked up the audio book "The girl with the dragon tattoo", it is too expensive though. I listened to the audio book "Rant" pretty weird and interesting.

[blugill]

Ready Player One is a fantastic and fun read!
The story is geared towards anyone who grew up around the pop culture of video games, arcades, the 80's, and geekdom!

It revolves around The Oasis, a MMORPG that has evolved more into a way of life. The real world is harsh, cold, and brutal in the future. The Oasis is the escape. You can go to public school through it, attend church, run a business, anything. The inventor dies one day and leaves a Easter Egg embedded in the game that contains his entire fortune and few clues.

That's the story and it's just a very engaging book that made me wish for another thousand pages in this universe!

Meh.

I'm not a fan of run-ons that are (at least) a page long. Stream-of-consciousness isn't my cup of tea.

Faulkner's characters families are a lot like my relatives in the South.

I've made it through Faulkner's books, except for "Absalom, Absalom". I literally got a headache reading it.

With that being said, Hemingway is more for me. I started "For Whom the Bell Tolls" again a few nights ago.

So much time had passed that when I finally picked it up, I had forgotten much of what went on. So now I'm halfway through book 3 in the series and don't plan to stop until I've read them all.

11/22/63 - Stephen King

Just started it.

[Apoco]

I started up the hunger games last night.

I am kind of shocked - my kindle said that I am already 15% of the way through it. I'm a slow reader (or at least I used to be). I'm wondering if using a kindle instead of a book has sped me up. Being able to make the text larger is definitely helping - I always seemed to have trouble going down the next line before...but now the lines have more space in between them! :tu

Awesome!

I could never seem to get going with my bible, but last year I used my phone and the app "YouVersion" and got through the bible in 90 days.

I think I'm going to do it again this year, on a longer than 90 day, but shorter than 1 year plan.

After America: Get Ready for Armageddon by Mark Steyn

[Apoco]

So...it has been a slow day at work. With my handy dandy kindle app on my phone I am 10% through the 2nd Hunger Games book Catching Fire already :r

Either I have picked up A LOT of reading speed since high school (the last time I really read very much) or this is just a very short/simple read.

books are much easier to read on Kindle. I think it has to do with deceased eye-strain. I used to fall asleep reading, but with Kindle I can read all night. I have to cut myself off...or sleep all day at work the next :)

[Mr.Erskine]

I'm currently reading Mary Poppins. I realize that for a 32 year old, that seems odd, but it's been one of my top favorite movies forever, and I finally wanted to read the book...


It's a good bit different than the movie. Mary Poppins is a ***** in the book.

I've heard this but i actually struggle on the kindle. I don't know if it's because I'm too used to books and I'm unwilling to change or what but something about the kindle just doesnt feel right to me. I think it just comes down to personal preference. I got a kindle for christmas and just gave it to my dad because I can't get used to it and I'm afraid i'll fall asleep while using it and roll over on it:2

"Lonigan" by Louis L'Amour. Excellent book of short stories.

[shilala]

I just finished "The Poisoner's Handbook" by Deborah Blum. I loved it. I knocked it out in two days, I hated to sit it down.
It's all true story stuff and very science-y, all about forensic pathology. I read some stuff on alcohols that I'd never thought of before and left me with some really great mad scientist ideas. I even had to stop and make notes. :D

[BSB]

Finished one L'Amour and into another, "Law of the Desert Born." More short stories. In the intro, he mentions a collection of mysteries he was putting together, "The Hills of Homicide," gonna look for it -(P

[Apoco]

Ready Player One is a fantastic and fun read!
The story is geared towards anyone who grew up around the pop culture of video games, arcades, the 80's, and geekdom!

It revolves around The Oasis, a MMORPG that has evolved more into a way of life. The real world is harsh, cold, and brutal in the future. The Oasis is the escape. You can go to public school through it, attend church, run a business, anything. The inventor dies one day and leaves a Easter Egg embedded in the game that contains his entire fortune and few clues.

That's the story and it's just a very engaging book that made me wish for another thousand pages in this universe!

I picked this up yesterday. About halfway through it now - pretty fantastic. As a former WoW player, former Everquest player, and current D&D player it is fantastic in its geekdom.

Also - it reminds me quite a bit of Charles Platt's "The Silicon Man"

Yeah, this is my second time thru. Been about a year and a half. Really enjoy him.Have you checked out The Nightside series by Simon R. Green? I discovered it in an anthology put together by Jim Butcher. It's also pretty good.

In the same anthology I also discovered Kat Richardson's Greywalker series. It's not humorous like the others but it's good and takes place in the Seattle area (so I recognize some of the references).
