I just started a biography on Nathan Hale The life and Death of America's first Spy
Is pretty straightforward but reading Hale's early days are quite the read.
So, what are you folks reading?

LOL! Very funnY!
Mary
I read rarely nowadays. I used to read quite a lot but time is so hard to find these days as are decent books. I enjoy classics, books like To Kill a Mockingbird that we were forced to read at school and discovered how great they were. My favourite book would have to be Catcher in the Rye By J.D Salinger. Don't worry I won't be assassinating any rock stars :2guns:.

ive read that, well besides my bible :), im reading ( err read a book called a*s*segai, ww1 era book taking place in africa/african safari
I dunno Catcher in the Rye didn't do much for me. I did like All Quite on the Western Front and 1984.
I read quite a bit not as much as I'd like do to time constraints.
Mary
also have in my posession, every book ever written by winston churchill :icon_razz:
I've been "reading" Hustler, Penthouse, and Playboy pretty religiously. Sometimes up to five times a day. However, when I'm not "reading" those, I have spent the past couple days reading Dean Koontz's "Breathless". It's pretty suspenseful.
I've read alot of Koontz the last was Frequency it reminded me of a movie with I think it was Dennis Quaid in it though.
I enjoy reading biographies the most though. I bought my friend up in Boston the Mark Twain autobiography that he requested to be released 100 years after his death. Now, I wanna read it LOL. I also wanna read Dan Brown's Lost Symbol just haven't found it anywhere for cheap.

Sounds like my type of "reading"...other than the usual motorcycle magazines and internet blogs...Koontz "Breathless" is on the night stand right now "waiting" to be read...read Koontz "Frequency" as well...I think I may have read all of his books. Last week I started the Chronicles of Narnia with my 8yo...we read "the Magician's Nephew" by C.S. Lewis...fun for her...and me, but I read the whole series back when I was 12...

I was going to pick up Dan Brown's new book, but figured it would be made into a move eventually. :icon_mrgreen:
A few books that I have thoroughly enjoyed:
Arthur Miller - Death of a Salesman
Arthur Miller - The Crucible
Raymond Khoury - The Last Templar
Dan Brown - Angels and Demons
There's a really good zombie book that I read, but I cannot think of the name.

I wonder, was it hustler, and playboy that left him breathless? LMFAO
These days.... hmmm... have some book by Jack Higgins in my work bag that a guy from work gave me to read. I'm so enthralled with it I cannot even tell you what it's called.
Haven't read a Koontz book in ages. I remember, some time in the 90s I was reading Watchers. At the time I happened to work at a factory that had many buildings and silos and the like, and which was next to bushland. Working the nightshift and having to go into the area near the bush, it creeped me out. All steel walkways and stairways and the like and I'm thinking of the Creature in Watchers coming out the bush and... yeah, silly I know, but man it creeped me out.
Generally, though, I don't have time to read books.

Try reading Stephen King's Tommyknockers on your first flight ever to Boston. Not the best choice in the world!
Mary
I've read Tommyknockers. Don't recall what it has to do with Boston, though. But I would be freaked out if you then tried to buy batteries and everywhere you went they'd been Sold Out, the air smelt funny and people were losing their teeth.
I did read the Twilight Saga series including the follow on Short Second Life of Bree Tanner (all for free as PDF files). It was done in the same 1st person style as Dolores Claiborne was, and VC Andrews books.
haven't read a King book in yonks either. Though at the time I did think Needful Things was his best work to date - probably cause it was leff waffle like a Koontz book. None of that useless fluff filler like in Salem's Lot about how the town got its name or the end of Gerald's Game with the longass letter.
I didn't mind Richard Layman's work. And particular "In The Dark" was quite clever.
Michael
Just finished two books:
"Into the Wild" by John Krakauer (second book of his I've read - really sad story, but very good. I really liked his "Into Thin Air")
"The Lost Symbol" by Dan Brown - I didn't want to wait for it to be made into a movie. I really liked it... I haven't become tired of Langston yet!
Next up: a re-read (third time...) of one of my favorites: "Stranger in a Strange Land" by Robert Heinlein
Any Cormac McCarthy readers out there? That's some pretty serious and dark story telling...

I think it was tommyknockers where they were flying to Boston and people started disappearing. Hmmm, now was tommyknockers composed of short stories. or was it another of his books? I've read so many books I've forgotten some.
Yes, Arthur Miller is a good writter. I actually went to Salem to the museum was interesting. I have some pictures from March I'll post 'em up.

Tommyknockers: Hero visits a friend who had inadvertently found something in the ground - which turns out to be an alien spacecraft. She get tremendous technology ideas that use batteries as power sources. As she digs it up and more of the ship is revealed, its influence spreads throughout the town. The townsfolk start to change, physically, becoming more like the original aliens. They lose their teeth, build an atmosphere thing to create special air for themselves from all the great ideas they are having. And evetually try to kill the hero. He escapes into the ship, hooks up to the Mental control system and flies it away - I think he flies it away, cannot remember the end bit. Hero is unaffected by the energy from the ship due to the metal plate in his head. Prevents the ship effecting him and them from reading his mind. This was a book on its own. Had a reference to IT in is as two of the townsfolk went to Derry to buy batteries and one thought he saw a Clown standing in the middle of the street which was put down to delusions cause by being away from the special air.
Langoliers: On a flight, some passengers wake up to find most of the cabin empty bar those who had been asleep. Where passengers Had been sitting now just their inorganic bit remain - fillings, pacemakers, etc. They land in an airfield that is like where they should be going but everything is Dead. tasteless food, matches won't light. They use the Life in their plane to refuel and bring the dead fuel to life. All the while the Langoliers, like large pacmen, are munching up the joint. It's determined time is like a railway carriage and we move from carriage to carriage. As we move into the new carriage the old carriage needs to be dissolved - the pacmen Langoliers. Eventually, they get off the ground, fly back through the odd electrical storm after lowering the oxygen content so they all fall asleep to travel through it, lest they disappear like the others, then land at another airport - a future one - and await for time to catch up with them (they stand near walls cause they figure if they are in the open they might be seen to magically appear plus could end up being walked into, but standing on the side, near a wall, should cause no such notice by anyone and is a safer position. This was in the compilation Four Past Midnight.
Four Past Midnight had the short story The Sun Dog which was set in Castle Rock and was one of the three stories he created to End his writing in Castle Rock - Needful Things being the end of Castle Rock as a town in his stories as the town was destroyed by the events in the book.
Michael
Yup, the Langoliers! They were flying to Boston and so was I the first time I had ever flown and I was going to get a pacemaker LOL! Was half expecting Boston to be dead or something.
Mary
Every ten or twelve years since the early sixties I have read and reread Robert trestles "The ragged trousered philanthropists" and Tolkien's "lord of the rings" every time i reread them I think that I probably won't do that again and put them in my Charity shop bag. I have just bought fresh copies! some things never change.
I recently enjoyed Tony Blair's "A Journey" Ian Rankin's "Rebus" novels plus some of his other works, Terry Pratchet's stuff, really enjoyed Stieg Larsson's Milenium trilogy and I am currently into Peter James' "Roy Grace" novels which are set quite close to where I live. I am on the second of six at the moment. I rarely read the same author's work consecutivley, I like to break them up with other different styles. The exception to this was Stieg Larsson, I devoured them one after another.
I find that I read in bursts, I may not touch a book for three months and then read a couple a week for a month or so, exact opposite of my Lady who always has a book on the go and reads steadily and slowly - takes all sorts I supose, not right, not wrong, just different as i often said in my career working for someone else.
Oh! - and a bit of Dickens from time to time, reread "A Christmas Carol" this past advent season and was intrigued by Scrooge promising Bob a better life and to "discuss it over a bowl of smoking bishop" - found the recipe and served it to guests on Christmas morning.
...and I've just checked the shelves, please add U.S. authors Michael Connoly, Robert Crais, James Lee Burke nad Koonz particularly the "Odd Thomas" series.
I'm also very much into a UK former standup comic who writes very dark crime novels, Mark Billingham.

Ahh, the crucible. In school I got to read the part of John Proctor, it was the teacher's way of keeping me awake. When it came to the parts with curse words and the 'whore' word, I made sure to read nice and loud :laugh:
I tried reading Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. It sucked. Back to supersport bike re-reads for me. :cheers:

Dump it for a projector. Them on craigslist for under 200. I have a dell 2400 mp and love it. Yea 130 buck bulb every 3-4 years though.
Now these books they are what I call "shelf improvement". They make the shelf look so much classier. The #1 shelf improver IMHO is .... ding ding ding ... leather bound kamasutra.
Cool.

Ahh, yeah the Kamasutra you know they have a Kamasutra app now for Iphone and android! Down here in Fl a bunch of kids books on DVD ended up having the kamasutra instead. "Mommy what are those two people doing?"

Thanks for jogging my memory.
Picked up Gerald's Game on the way to work. Finished it by the end of the shift. Dang machines broke down so the only thing left to do was read. As I got paid for the day (night) and all I did was read, that makes me a Professional Reader. :woohoo:
Funniest Book? I got the most laughs from the four HItchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy books and Catch 22 had me in fits of laughter, tears rolling down my cheeks, in places.

Well, working in security when we don't have events and I'm stuck at gate 10 I get 7.5 hours of reading in easy. Ugh, I can't wait to get back to work two more weeks! I need money.

Hey Mary - I read "The Stand" in a couple of days as well, I really enjoyed SK's early stuff and the stuff published as "Stephen Marlow" - i went off the later work, you got the feeling that he was writing for adeptation to Hollywood, big on effects but the stories got weaker. Having said that i did read a fair bit of it.
Finished teh stand in 1 night. well 6 hours , yes i have no life :oops:

Having said that i did read a fair bit of it.
Bachman Books were enjoyable, as was he joint authorship with Peter Straub in The Talisman. I found signs of the weakening in his writing include...
- Waffling that has no bearing on the story. While I was reading IT he just seemed to be going round and round, writing for the sake of writing, without the story taking any further direction. I thought, he doesn't know how to finish it. And later read that he confessed to not knowing how to finish it until he had a dream about spiders and made the creature a Big Spider in the sewer. Yeah, what a pleasing ending that was... NOT.
- Stories take years to finish. I don't have it in front of me, but I recall on the inside cover of The Dark Hald the years span something like 8 years. As in, it took him 8 years to write that story. Which means, he had several stories going at once and was really waiting for some kind of inspiration so he could finish them. Any inspiration, like big spiders, would do.
- Stories about nothing much but padding. Gerald's Game is a prime example. Hundreds of pages of a woman tied to a bed. How much can really go on in her head here? And throw in a flash to an Old Woman to link it to Delores Claibourne. Come on. My impression of Both of those books were... he was writing to fulfill a contractual obligation, to give Double Day two books by a certain date. So instead of books with substance, he wrote books of padding. I mean, let's face it a Koontz book, say something like Chase or Lightening, have so much happening in them you cannot make One movie from them, but so little happens in a king book they directly adapt to a movie.
Michael
I didn't finish "Gerald's Game" - I think it was my last attempt at anything of his, come to think of it "Cujo" was pretty dire 'n'all.

Bill Bryson - Notes From A Small Island , In A Sunburned Country, A Walk In The Woods, Neither Here Nor There
John Grisham - Ford County, An Innocent Man
David Chilton - The Wealthy Barber
Lisa Genova - Still Alice
William P. Young - The Shack
Timothy Ferris - The 4-hour Workweek
William Shatner - Up Till Now
Jeff Rubin - Your World Is About To Get A Whole Lot Smaller
how was the Shat's book? I gotta find a cheap copy of the lost symbol. I think the last King novel I read was The green Mile that was decent.
I'm contemplenting an e-reader. I dunno.
Mary
Bill's 2nd autobiography has been OK; normally I just watch the Biography Channel. Last autobiography I read was Chaplin's, in about 1992...LOL
Love Bryson, agree about funniest being Hitchhikers Guide and catch 22 also Robert Rankin's "Brentford trilogy" which runs to six or eight books! is hilarious but perhaps a little to English for the humour to travel.
My Lady is currently reading an E Phillips Oppenheim novel, I have read a few, brilliant writing and something of an insight into to ruling classes from the late 19th century to WW1. - Google the guy, very interesting and wrote on both sides of the pond.
Almost got the Nathan Hale biography done. Haven't had alot of time to read this week trying to get into class this semester. I've never had such a hard time getting registered etc. Apparently, there was a glitch where 3,000 people who were transfering to UCF their grades were lost. So, I'm stressed I just was allowed to take orientation today and class starts on Monday. Not a good way to start a new semester at a new school behind. UCF did say that because of VCC screw up we would not be charged with late registration etc.
I think I'm only going to take two classes looks like it will be clincal psychology and statistics for psychology. We shall see what the next day or something.

My daughter is in a swim meet this weekend, so I should have two days to read...I don't know if I want to read a Koontz book or Seven Habits by Covey...probably Koontz...self improvement can be a little dry...maybe I'll take both...I will have two days and a night in a Hotel with my daughter, so....yeah, I'll have lots of reading time!! :thumb:
Later.
for self-improvement Max Lucado has done vey well for me. I think it was called Finding your sweet spot but it made me think alot about what it is that God wants me to do. It helped me figure out that even with all of my disabilities I can still serve God and he opened up to me the path I'm traveling down now. If you would have asked me five years ago if I'd be pursuing a degree to become a counselor I would have laughed at you. I thought I was supposed to be the one rushing in to save you as an EMT but so many people have said I've changed their life by talking with them. I want to help people and now I think I'm on the right track i'm feeling the best I've felt in years and the locked gears are finally starting to move albeit slow but moving none the less.
Mary
Stopped reading Stephen King novels after It in 1986. Always thought his short story collections (Night Shift, Skeleton Crew) were the best of his works though.
The first book in the HitchHikers Guide to the Galaxy was brilliant, but the rest got progressively more boring and uninspired. Like the Dune series. Good fiction is really hard to write.
So far, Bryson's 'Notes from a Small Island' appears one of his less inspired travelogues. He's not as bitingly funny as he was in 'Neither Here nor There' or 'The Lost Continent', mostly bereft of the honest-to-goodness amazement he had in 'A Sunburned Country', and nowhere near as personally insightful into his own sense of self as he was in 'A Walk in the Woods'.

Yeah I read most of the Micheal Crichton books both the action/suspense and his med school stuff (five patients-jasper johns etc..) and reread on occasion and enjoyed Dan Brown. I wanted to read Lost Symbol but couldn't find a copy when it did come to my mind in the stores. I even read some similar stuff like James Rollins Subterrainean and the like.
Unfortunately work right now has me reading journal articles on cation channels, growth factor receptors and cancer/pain alternative therapies. The Nerd in me lead me to read Francis Collins The Language of God. and stuff like The Lady Tasting Tea can't remember the author. Recently I went back to the classics like Darwin's Essays on the Evolution of Man and I want to find some of Galileo's four books.
Well, I got registered but still no finacial aid showing up so I get to go to class tomorrow without the book :bs:

Yup, buying the books hurts...when I took my Electronics, the text books were retarded price but the part that really kicked me in the parts was having to pay $60-80 for the "modules", which were just photo copies that the school churned out that had you assignments and notes in them (you have to remember this was 20yrs ago...everything was much cheaper then)
I would go to class and see if they are actually using that text...I bought one for one of my classes, and we never openned it...the instructor refered to it a couple of times after we all complained about having to buy it...I think the schools forget that the students aren't working full time and probably didn't have a high paying job before coming to school...that's why you go...
Good Luck!!
