What are you reading?

[democracyindanger]

With apologies to Sannum--hope it wasn't a library book you lost. :P

I've got a stack lined up, but right now I'm reading "The Yiddish Policeman's Union" by Michael Chabon. So far, just as engrossing as "Kavalier and Clay".

You?

I just started it. I finally finished State of Denial which took me all winter and spring to read.

7. re-reading several things

The Prince of Tides (Pat Conroy), Anne Rice's Sleeping Beauty erotica trilogy, and Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series.

Cannot STAND the movie, but Conroy's written imagery is just intoxicating.

[Adsos Letter]

8. Hey! I just heard the book ladies on NPR talking about

"The Yiddish Policeman's Union" being one of their top recommendations for a Summer Read...

Anyway...I'm reading "Angry Saints" by George Knight. When I finish that (this evening) it's on to "Assault on Reason" by that ex-Vice-President guy...

:D

[democracyindanger]

9. It's really good.

He's done an amazing job recreating Sitka, Alaska as the place where the world's Jews went to instead of Israel.

[Adsos Letter]

12. Isn't it based on an actual plan floated by Harold Ickes?

Or is that just part of the "what if" of the story?

[democracyindanger]

16. Never heard that, but

guess I'll have to check that out.

There actually hasn't been any real discussion of the events that led to Jews relocating to Sitka, but I'm only 1/8th of the way into it.

[hippywife]

11. Several recent

National Geographics. Excellent magazine.

[NightWatcher]

14. I have been re-reading Tom Brown Jr's: Wilderness Survival

[GenDem]

23. Wicked by Gregory Maguire

Trying it on, anyway. Not very far into it, and if I don't get hooked soon I will be abandoning it.

I recently finished a very good novel called 'The Thirteenth Tale'. I highly recommend it.

[Zoigal]

25. David Baldacci's

"Simple Genius". Will continue with "God is not Great" when i'm finished.

[Nickster]

27. Assault on Reason, then I'm going to move on to Failed States by Chomsky.

[Fox Mulder]

28. "Death Masks," book five of the Dresden Files series.

I love love love these books! Better than the tv show, obviously.

[JVS]

30. DU

[philosophie_en_rose]

31. The Good Husband of Zebra Drive

I'm half-way through. The characters do not seem like themselves.

[Ariana Celeste]

32. still finishing Chapterhouse Dune

So I can start on House Atreides

[Lex]

34. The Rule of Four.

nt

[VenusRising]

[deadparrot]

36. "Ragtime," E. L. Doctorow. nt

[Mojambo]

37. Armed Madhouse

And I just picked up the Assault on Reason audiobook.

[Bullwinkle925]

38. "Shantaram" by Gregory David Roberts ....

it has me enthralled. A gripping saga and page-turner for me. He has brought Bombay to life and I am having a good time traveling there as his story unfolds.

[Flaxbee]

39. A Confederacy of Dunces

and Murder Gets a Life (a "Southern Sisters" mystery).

[Lord Helmet]

40. The Assault on Reason

[terrya]

41. Same here.

I'm also reading "The Yiddish Policeman's Union". As you said, engrossing.

[NuttyFluffers]

42. Catch 22, Red Badge of Courage and other stories (Stephen Crane anthology)

some harlequin romance novels for brainstorming research on writing a horror story...

just catching up on some stuff i missed from my youth and working on research for personal creations for the future.

[querelle]

43. Last Exit To Brooklyn

By Hubert Selby Jr. Definitely one of the grittiest and darkest novels (a collection of connected short stories really) that I've read in quite some time. Next up is The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins which I bought yesterday.

Q

[peacefreak]

44. Just finished "The Good Guy" by Dean Koontz.

Not a big fan of his, but it caught my interest. Now I'm trying to figure out what to read next.

[dropkickpa]

45. I just finished

Lucifer's Hammer by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle. An old favorite, read it the first time when I was about 8 or 9 years old.

[MissMillie]

46. John Irving - Widow for a Year

I guess the movie "The Door in the Floor" was based in it. (I never saw that movie.)

[mvd]

47. It's called Ancient Egypt

David P. Silverman is the general editor. Very good so far - the maps took a while to get used to, but I guess they fit the theme.

[TOhioLiberal]

48. I'm reading:

'The Assault on Reason' by Al (Please run for President, Al!) Gore.

[Xipe Totec]

49. Landmark-Based Speech Recognition: Report of the 2004 Johns Hopkins Summer Workshop

2004, what can I say, a little behind on my reading

:blush:

[Deep13]

50. Um, this website.

I guess it depends on what the meanings of "are" are.

[pitohui]

52. i just finished "lunar park" by bret easton ellis

this one is more stephen king than marquis de sade, okay, i admit it, i cried, i expected a little more social satire and not so much...stephen king...but it's a good read
