Never heard of that, tell me more.

Re: What are you reading?
 

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.

Re: What are you reading?
 

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...

Re: What are you reading?
 

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. :)

Re: What are you reading?
 

You're probably right, that's why I said I was ignorant. ;s It just kinda reminds me of how downloading is killing the record stores.

Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk by David Sedaris
A History Of The World In Six Glasses by Tom Standage

Re: What are you reading?
 

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.

Re: What are you reading?
 

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.

Re: What are you reading?
 

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

Re: What are you reading?
 

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. ;)

Re: What are you reading?
 

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.

Re: What are you reading?
 

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

Re: What are you reading?
 

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.

Re: What are you reading?
 

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.

Re: What are you reading?
 

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.

Re: What are you reading?
 

You'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.
