Re: What are you reading?
 

At first I had a hard time, then after a bit it almost made sense. Almost, haha.


Right now I am reading the CA newsletter, good stuff!

Re: What are you reading?
 

Re-reading "The Nicomachean Ethics" by Aristotle for my own pleasure between readings for summer courses.

For summer courses I'm reading "Race Class & Gender" by Collins and Andersen, as well as "Employment Law" by Walsh. Fascinating :rolleyes:

If I had known there would be a book 6 i wouldn't have picked this one up just yet.

Re: What are you reading?
 

Finally caught up on work and had time to finish jailbird. Figured id stick with vonnegut and read god bless you, dr. Kevorkian. Should be a quick read.

Re: What are you reading?
 

About half-way through John Adams by David McCullough. This has been on my list for a long time. Everyone said I'd love it.

The first couple of times I started it, I put it down after a few pages. I either couldn't get into it or found something else I really wanted to read. This time, I'm far enough into it that I can see why it won the Pulitzer Prize.

Re: What are you reading?
 

I really enjoyed that book. If you like it, check out 1776 by McCullough. It is excellent and a quicker read than Adams.

Re: What are you reading?
 

I thought it was pretty good. Maybe not as good as the others in the series, but not bad. Have to wait a year for book 6:(

Looking forward to the last Eragon now.

Re: What are you reading?
 

Ditto. 1776 was easier. I had to do John Adams in pieces, while reading other, lighter stuff.

Re: What are you reading?
 

Been reading "The Man in the Rockefeller Suit" By Mark Seal about the guy a few years back that posed as a member of the Rockefeller family but was eventually caught. Pretty interesting story on how this guy managed to fool people from a very young age.

Re: What are you reading?
 

After watching the first season on HBO, I decided to reat The Game of Thrones. Excellent, but I don't know if I'd like it as much if I hadn't watched the series. :hm

Re: What are you reading?
 

Just finished "An Army at Dawn" by rick Atkinson. Excellent narrative history of the allied invasion of north Africa in WWII. Casts a new light for me on people like bradley, patton, eisenhower during their first (sometimes bumbling) steps as commanders on a large scale. Told mostly through the contemporaneous records of both leaders and led.

Just finished 'Quest For The Faradawn' by Richard Ford last night. Starting 'Dune' today. I know... should have read it a long time ago.

Re: What are you reading?
 

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.

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.

Re: What are you reading?
 

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.
