I just started the Foundation series, by Isaac Asimov. I already read just the original trilogy, but that was back in my high school days, 40+ years ago. I've been re-reading some of the old sci-fi classics and got a whim to read this. Pretty good so far, It's going to take a while!

Re: What are you reading?
 

It's a great series. I started with the Elijah Baily books (Caves of Steel, The Naked Sun, and Robots of Dawn) follwed by Robots and Empire. These are the prequels to the Foundation series.

They are all excellent books!

How is the Jack Reacher series?

Re: What are you reading?
 

FREAKIN' AWESOME!! Get them from the start and read chronologically. One of my favorite series :tu

Does the casting of Tom Cruise detract from the stories?
I'm not a Cruise fan. LOL!

Re: What are you reading?
 

I agree
A bit but not a big deal.

I ignore what Hollywood does to books.

How to Sharpen Pencils by David Rees...even in this technologically advanced age I'm still a huge fan of pencils. I always have a few on my desk. :D

Lee Child does not seem to have a problem with it. So, I'm good with it, too. I will see the movie. I will continue to read the books.

Re: What are you reading?
 

I agree -- you can read the books in the order that they were published or chronologically. I chose to read chronologically which puts two of the later books and two short stories (available on Kindle) ahead of the rest.

I have not been able to put them down...

"The Burglar Who Thought He Was Borgart," by Lawrence Block. I like this series, fun reads.

Worth Dying For (A Jack Reacher novel) by Lee Child (one more to go... :))

Re: What are you reading?
 

Makes me want to start reading them all over again :D

Re: What are you reading?
 

After checking Amazon, I am not sure about running out and getting the most recent book -- it is $13.99 on Kindle... I hate to spend that much for an e-book... We'll see how long I can wait it out :)

Re: What are you reading?
 

Books aren't cheap anymore. I buy most of mine at used book stores and more and more at Goodwill...for .50 a paperback and $1.99 hardcover. You can't go in and pick out the titles you want, but can find them in broader categories. I look for L'Amours I don't have or maybe Preston & Child, a new favorite.

I finished reading the Morningstar (zombie) Trilogy by Z.A. Recht.
I read the third book in two sittings, it wrapped stuff up real well.
The guy died while he was writing the last book and it felt like I could tell when someone jumped in and punched stuff up. They did well, but missed chunks of plot/character development that obviously went missed by the editor.
Anyone reading would have went "wha???"
I'm still excited for December 26th when the 3rd installment of J.L. Bourne's series of Zombie books, "Day by Day Armageddon:Shattered Hourglass" comes out. I've run real thin of zombie books, there's hardly any I haven't read at this point, at least ones that are said to be worth reading.

I still can't force myself to read Uncle Tom's Cabin, and I'm not ready for another Civil War book yet. I have a couple Jared Diamond books I want to finish but I'm too cheap to buy them on Kindle since I have the actual books. I just won't pick up a real book anymore, I'm ruined.

I think I'll look into the Jack Reacher series you guys are talking about. :tu

Finished the Burglar book last night and started "Listening Woman" an old Tony Hillerman mystery.
