I really need to get back to my Proust, as I'm still The Captive of another interminable Parisian party, and have been for too long.

Re: What are you reading?
"The Nuns of Sant'Ambrogio: The True Story of a Convent in Scandal" by Hubert Wolf.
A non-fiction account of murder, heresy, and lesbian initiation rites at a Roman convent in the mid 1800s. The book is built on evidence found in recently opened archives of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (inquisition) at the Vatican. Wolf covers the histirical, political, and sectarian factors that affected the investigation and the decision to keep the story secret.. Well written and compelling read I liked it. |
Re: What are you reading?
Victor88 suggested the Newsflesh series.
I read the first book, then 80% of the second book. That's all I could take. I haven't picked up a book since I set that second one down. Yup, that disgusted. :D |

Re: What are you reading?
Just started "The Park Service Trilogy" A very interesting post apocalyptic setting. First book was good and I really have no idea where it is heading in the next two books.
A bit off topic, but how many of you have an e-reader? I picked up a kindle paperwhite a few years ago when it came out. I had been waiting for one with a light to come out since the first kindle. It quickly became my favorite thing. |

I started with a 2nd generation Kindle. I now own and use a Paperwhite and love it. I may be looking to dispose of my original Kindle for a few cigars. I have a huge e-book library if anyone is looking for stuff to read. Mostly fiction. |

This past Christmas, I had only read through number 9. My son gave me a signed copy of Personal - number 19 in the series. I wanted to read them in order so I have been reading Lee Child since then. |

I love it. Took away all the reasons I never read books. Quote:
Maybe not that bad, but super close. Great idea for a storyline, but it's written by a woman and just sounds like it is in my head when I'm reading it. A woman in her very early 20's. I just want to stuff a pair of socks in her mouth and send her home. I STILL haven't finished that second book. But as God is my witness, I will. I'm at 90+% now. Then I don't know what I'll read. Probably get away from sci-fi for a bit and read some history. Ken Burns, I'm thinking. Or more Zombies if there's any out there worth reading. :D |

Scott won't let me tell you what I'm reading. ;s

Good history, too. Ken burns stuff and anything well written and unslanted. I'm currently reading Surface Detail, it's Culture Series Book 9 by Iain Banks. I skipped book 8, I'll read it next. Then 10 is the last one and I'm going to be sad. What a fantastic series across the board. Peter, I'm gonna grab a Paperwhite. I'm hoping they go on sale on Prime Day, if not I'll just order it after. I'm pretty excited about it. Weeze is, too. I just found out we can share our amazon book accounts, so we can both sync our books without signing in and out and making problems. :tu |
Re: What are you reading?
Speaking of sci fi, just found a beat up copy of Heinlein's Stranger in a Strange Land. Read it years ago so I'm looking forward to see how it holds up to a second read.

Re: What are you reading?
I got done with Surface Detail, then finished Matter, and now I'm about 60% of the way through Hydrogen Sonata.
That'll be the end of the Culture Series by Iain Banks. I'll be a sad panda. On Prime Day I bought Kindle Unlimited, so I'll be rooting through all that stuff to find nuggets for the next year. I hope it was worthwhile, it looks like it is. |
