Thread: What are you reading? What was the last book you enjoyed?

LGK baby!

just finished black and blue and started Ghost Soldiers about the Bataan death march and the rescue mission to free the prisoners by the army rangers

Just finished "Patton and Rommel" by Shoewalter? I think tat was his name, and his book is only ok, imo. Just started "The god delusion" by Richard Dawkins.

finished In Cold Blood by Truman Capote (i need to see the movie Capote now). that book has been sitting on my shelf unread for over 10 years.

i am now starting The Good German by Joseph Kanon, just in case i want to watch the movie i'll be all covered on the book aspect.

oh yeah, and i'm also in the middle of reading more preacher comics...

Just wait until you read the “All in the Family” storyline. That’s my personal favorite Preacher story which has the distinction of having the craziest family of Southerners this side of Flannery O’Connor and William Faulkner.

Anyways, I just finished reading:

Octavia Butler’s Bloodchild and Other Stories
Beowulf (Seamus Healey Translation)

And I am currently reading:

China Mieville’s Perdido Street Station
Alex Garland’s The Beach

The current issue of Popular Photography.

i read through the "all in the family" storyline. was very pleased on how his grandma "exited."

i read octavia butler's Parable of the Sower. that book disturbed me so much i didn't want to keep it as a part of my book collection.

beowulf = cool.
haven't read that since freshman year of high school.

Had to put Don Quixote on hold due to school.

Twelfth Night by Billy Shakespeare.

Currently:
"Team of Rivals" by Doris Kearns Goodwin. About Lincoln and his cabinet. Good read.

Most recent:
"Flags of Our Fathers" was fair, good story but not very well written. Just purchased the movie but haven't found time to read it.

"1776" By David McCullough? Follows Washington through the year 1776. Excellent read.

"Timber Frame Joinery: Design and Construction of Timber Frame Structures" very dry.
