Badasses: The Legend of Snake, Foo, Dr. Death, and John Madden's Oakland Raiders

Re: What are you reading?
 

Well I've been pretty busy but have managed to read:

Wayward by Blake Crouch (You need to read Pines first)
Walk the Sky by Robert Swartwood
Dust by Hugh Howey
Hit and Three (both Chandler Series books) by Konrath/Kilborn
The Enraged by Brett Battles

A lot of the above are series that can stand alone but are much better if you read from the first book - with the exception of Walk the Sky.

Currently I am beta-reading "Eleanor" by Jason Gurley for release around November I think.

I'd also suggest: Mineko - Book of Sisters by yours truly. :D It's on Amazon and Smashwords. I do need a couple of reviews posted on both sites - so if a few of you guys/gals would promise to do that - I'll send you a free copy in either mobi or epub.

The Saga of King Hrolf Kraki

Re: What are you reading?
 

Re-reading Stephen King's The Stand (haven't read it in almost 20 years) but this time I'm listening to it on audiobook because I have a 30 min drive to and from work every day so it really kills the time but listening to it is better than any movie could ever try to be.

Re: What are you reading?
 

"On Saudi Arabia" by Karen Elliot House. Good read it told me a lot about current conditions in the country. Now I'm rereading "The Structure of Evolutionary Theory" by Stephen Jay Gould

Re: What are you reading?
 

Finally finished A Clash of Kings by George R. R. Martin :D

Re: What are you reading?
 

Horns by Joe Hill (Stephen King's son).

Re: What are you reading?
 

Forever Peace by Joe Haldeman.
I tried to read Armageddon's Reef, part one of the Safehold series, David Weber, I think. It was awful. Just plain torturous.
Just finished Armor by John Steakly. Loved it.

Re: What are you reading?
 

Finished Storm of Swords ... these books are good just so long.

Re: What are you reading?
 

"Life at the Speed of Light" by J Craig Venter. A review of the history and some current trends in genetic engineering. His description of the creation of the first synthetic cell offers an in depth look at the way science is done. Parts of the book are a little over my head but it is written for the layman and anyone who has any interest in biology can get most of it.

Re: What are you reading?
 

I agree. They are good though. I am 700 pages into A Dance with Dragons right now.

Re: What are you reading?
 

Just finished Persuader by Lee Child
Started The Forgotten by Faye Kellerman

Re: What are you reading?
 

Finished up the Thrawn Trilogy, Dark Force Rising and The Last Command by Timothy Zahn.
I blew through Gone (Michael Bennet #6) by James Patterson and Michael Ledwidge in 2 days.
Onto reading Year Zero by Rob Reid right now.
We set a goal for our daughter to read 20 minutes every night which is also helping my reading move along too.

Re: What are you reading?
 

That is great! This is the best thing for encouraging kids to read that will last a lifetime.

Re: What are you reading?
 

Nearly pulled the trigger on the nook version of Let My People Go Surfing by Yvon Chouinard. I've been wanting to read it for a long time but never seem to actually read it. I've yet to figure out what personal deficiency is responsible for this. lol
Guess I'll go bit it and start reading it tonight. :)

Re: What are you reading?
 

I just started "A Storm of Swords", the third in the 'Song of Ice and Fire' series (Game of Thrones to those unfamiliar with it).

Re: What are you reading?
 

Working my way through that myself. Really digging the series. Im jumping between Game of Thrones and "The Audacity of Hops" by Tom Acitelli. Great book on the history of American craft beer.

Re: What are you reading?
 

The Fall of Carthage, Adrian Goldsworthy. One of his older works I missed, excellent read!

Re: What are you reading?
 

An old novel called "Genesis" by W.A. Harbinson. UFO's that may NOT necessarily be of extraterrestrial origin....Pretty interesting so far

Re: What are you reading?
 

"Why Is the Penis Shaped Like That?: And Other Reflections on Being Human" by Jesse Bering
Series of essays on evolutionary physiology and psychology. Easy read with some interesting facts about behaviors that aren't generally discussed in polite company. A little anarky on the subject of religion which I could have done without but overall a good read.

Re: What are you reading?
 

The Historical Jesus: Five Views by James K. Beilby

Re: What are you reading?
 

The Pagan Lord ( most recent in the Saxon Tales )

by Bernard Cornwell

Re: What are you reading?
 

Finished Let My People Go Surfing ... good read and the first 2/3 were really interesting. The last 1/3 was pretty preachy but as long as you know that going in (which I'd imagine you would of you know who Yvon Chouinard is) I think it's an all around good read.

Just started The Gold Standard by Mike Krzyzewski. :)

Re: What are you reading?
 

Brave New Worlds. It's a collection of short stories from various authors about dystopian societies. "The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson is one, to give you an idea of what's in there. Some of them are pretty damn depressing, but are interesting reads. Even though it's fiction, it gives you perspective on how fortunate we are in this reality to enjoy our freedom.

Re: What are you reading?
 

Lone Survivor

Re: What are you reading?
 

I'm getting ready to start that one myself.

Currently working on The Strain by Guillermo Del Toro and Chuck Hogan. Easy read, the kind of story that you can just read along without having to give much thought to the characters or their motivations.

Re: What are you reading?
 

Just finished that one. Started Service a couple of days ago.

Re: What are you reading?
 

Sure you're joking, Mr Feynman

Excellent and fun read.

Re: What are you reading?
 

Goldfinch and Learn Chess, so far the Learn Chess is more interesting.

Re: What are you reading?
 

Getting ready to start the Wheel of Time series...

The First Patient by Michael Palmer

Re: What are you reading?
 

At least you waited until the series was completed! :rolleyes:

Re: What are you reading?
 

Oh wow, what an epic! See you in about a year or two!

The Birth of Monotheism: The Rise and Disappearance of Yahwism
By André Lemaire

Re: What are you reading?
 

Just finished Beautiful Creatures and starting Beautiful Darkness. I liked the movie so I thought I would check it out since the book is usually better. The book was good but I think the movie was better in this case. Guess these are written for teenagers.

Re: What are you reading?
 

Dust by Hugh Howey -- great series

Re: What are you reading?
 

Just finished Killer by Jonathan Kellerman. I always enjoy the Alex Delaware novels.

I enjoyed the A Song of Ice and Fire series so much that I am giving The Blade Itself by Joe Abercrombie a go. Only about 100 pages into it, and it's "okay" so far.

Re: What are you reading?
 

Just finished, The Devil in the White City: A Saga of Magic and Murder at the Fair that Changed America and started reading the Wool Omnibus Edition, Wool 1 - 5 Silo Saga.

Re: What are you reading?
 

The Real Che Guevara. Really scary especially considering he is so revered by many.

Re: What are you reading?
 

Finished up A Feast for Crows and listened to 1984.

Re: What are you reading?
 

Book 3 of the Dark Tower series. Very good stuff with typical Stephen King over doing it sometimes but good. While George RR Martin loves to over-describe EVERYTHING Stephen King LOVES to over-dialog EVERYTHING! Love both writers though.

If I could go back and tell my 13 year old self how much I love reading and how much I do read he'd just laugh his @$$ off at the very idea of it. :) Young and foolish I was

Re: What are you reading?
 

Survivor by Chuck Palahniuk.

Re: What are you reading?
 

Just finished it for the 4 time, but this was the first time I was able to read all fourteen books. Great series! :tu

Chuck is one of my favorites. Always good stuff :tu

I just finished rereading Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card. It's so good, and so sad...
