In a moment of weakness I committed to reading an unabridged version of Don Quixote. My guess is that book will take about 53 cigars to read.

Last man on the moon by Gene Cernan. I've always been in love with the space program (although not so much lately thanks to a lack of human exploration beyond low earth orbit) and the Apollo program was the peak of the programs history.

Audio book: Game of thrones a clash of kings :tu

Sua Sponte: The Forging of a Modern American Ranger . Reminiscing of the old days. Man this retirement is not as cool as I hoped. I am so looking forward to school starting in the Fall.

Back to the book. Its been a great read so far. It is nice to see how even though some things have changed the standards are still there.

If you liked Jordan and you haven't read Terry Goodkind's Sword of Truth series, I highly recommend it.

After about 7 or 8 of Jordan's books, I was thinking "Good Lord, end it already", and quit reading them, although I enjoyed them tremendously up to that point.

With Goodkind, I read all 11 and was so bummed when I read the last page of the last book. Still trying to find another good series...

I'm on the Second Shift right now, Michael. Read the first six books last week. Funny that the writing isn't all that dynamic, but it makes me want to read it constantly. Howey can really paint a picture, or at least set up the canvas for your head to fill in the blanks. I like that, it makes the reading a lot more engaging.
If you enjoyed these books, I think you'd like DJ Molles "The Remaining" series if you haven't read them. It's a zombie series, but short on zombie and long on characters and post-apocalyptic life.

I had low expectations when I picked up the first Wool book for 99 cents, but I was quickly hooked and plowed through them. Can't wait for the next one (Dust -- due out later this year).

Thanks for the suggestion Scott -- I will check it out!

I could have sworn that Dust was already released, but Hugh's website says it's only 22% done. I think it's because I saw a "reading order" posted in a few Amazon selections.Sand is the next installment in what's supposed to be another 3 part series, I forget what the 3rd was gonna be named. He's farther along with Sand, if you can believe that. (It's only half as long as Dust, so I guess it makes sense?)

I saw a Silo story written by WJ Davies, saved it in my Amazon wishlist to make sure I at least read the sample. It's called "The Runner.
If you take a look at it let me know if it's worthwhile, will ya brother?

I'll keep watching to see what you're reading!!! :tu

I just finished The Runner by WJ Davies. It's a good read but their are some inconsistencies with the main Silo story. I don't want to go into them here because it might give too much away. For 99 cents you can't go wrong :)
