What are you reading Chapter 4

[Tom Bomb]

Thanks dude.

I've read all the books & I know what you're referring to
These books would make a great min series (Well one for each series)
That would probably do them more justice than movies...
At least for the later series--the original trilogy would probably work better as movies than the others--as it is made up of three standalone--but connected stories.
The others are a serialized story.

There are 10 books--two trilogies and then a four parter to wrap it all up.
The first trilogy is my favorite...

[Funky Ghost]

Revisiting an old classic favorite from my young days. Midnight at the Well of Souls. It's as good as I remember from nearly 40 years ago.

I've been reading Cristopher Pike's Thirst series again, I'm probably going to finish #5, the final book, this weekend.

I just started plowing through A Study of History, by Arnold Toynbee. It's a little like eating dry crackers in a desert, and it's ten or eleven dense volumes, written in 1935 Oxford don style. Which means it's probably going to take me the rest of my life to get through. That's OK. My reading list is now completely accounted for. I'm enjoying it.

 

[Michael Eisenman]

The Art of Eating, a compilation of five gastronomical works by M.F.K. Fisher.

 

[elgecko]

The Boardman Tasker Omnibus. A collection of four high altitude, mountaineering classics.

 

[zontar]

Started a theological book that a friend's bother in law wrote.
Can't remember the book's name though.

I am not a jealous guy by nature...

...but, gawd, I wish I could write with the power and intimacy of David Remnick!
This is a GREAT read.

I found this at a yard sale (.25?) a year or more ago. With The Champ's death, it called out from the bookshelf.
He lived a helluva life, and D.R. told the story of how Casius Clay grew up to be Muhammad Ali with such grace and power that I didn't want the story to end.
I read a great biography of Ben Franklin years ago...it made me feel that same way.

In addition to a great read on a rainy Saturday afternoon...

I've got a Sunday afternoon date with a good lookin' dark haired woman!
We're gonna go see what Steven Spielberg has done with this story.

 

[Gazman]

I've almost finished "The Fishmonger and the Unicorn", by Eógan O'Driscoll.
It's the second book in a series of fantasy/history novels set during the famine.

The last book in the series "The Potato and the Snake" is due out by August

 

[Funky Ghost]

It has taken me until 2016 to finally read The Cat Who Walks Through Walls. I couldn't put it down.

Started this book eons ago but never got to finish it - a posse of librarians, aka my band mates, came after me Got to the point where mysterious Moties were pulling apart and re-engineering, among other things, the ship's coffee percolator. Since then, whenever I clean out my own percolator, there's always an alien intervention Time now though to finally figure out what greater mischief those marauding little Moties got up to. Picked this copy up in a thrift store a couple of years ago and parceled it away, for a rainy day. I'm back at the book's event horizon tonight, at the very outbreak of Motie-mania …

I've been on a bit of a Len Deighton binge lately. Currently reading these two - again. SS-GB takes place in England after a successful Nazi invasion; about a Scotland Yard (now run by the Gestapo) Inspector who gets involved in plots to rescue the King from the Tower of London, and to sabotage research on the atomic bomb; amongst other high level German skullduggery... a pretty good "what if" read. Bomber is the account of an RAF raid on a German town on the night of 31 June, 1943 (yes, I - and Len Deighton - know there's no 31 June... but that's when it's supposed to have taken place in his world...). Extremely well researched, and as realistic as you can get. Told from the point of view of several Lancaster bomber crews; a Luftwaffe nightfighter squadron; a Luftwaffe radar-interception station; and the town that becomes - erroneously - the RAF's Target For Tonight. Good stuff...

I just got Phil Robertson's book--UnPHILtered-The Way I See It

 

[Parzival]

Just started on 'The Fireman'
by Joe Hill

Anyone read the new Harry Potter? I'm hearing mostly bad reviews. JK Rowling didn't write it all herself and it apparently reads like fan fiction. I love the books and have read each one several times but I'm worried this might only piss me off.
