What Are You Reading Now?

I'm gonna start doing this thread on a quarterly basis.

The last time I did it, I got some very interesting answers from Freepers.

What are you reading? It can be anything. A classic. A technical journal. A trashy pulp novel. Soldier of Fortune magazine. Anything.

I'll start. I'm reading: "The Campaign of the Century: Upton Sinclair's race for Governor of California and the birth of media politics".

So far, it's not a bad read. But what did you expect? I'm a Pol Sci major.

Well, what are you reading?

What Are You Reading Now?

This.

Does listening too count?

If so, 1776.

Also reading Gold Coast for the umpteenth time. But only because I was too lazy to go out and get a new book to read before I have to start reading books for school again.

Does playing count? As in a game with a long story plot?

[apackof2]

Usually my textbooks :>(

Trying to finish "Mornings On Horseback about T. Roosevlet early life by D. McCollough before the term starts
You would enjoy "1776", by David McCollugh
When Character was King by Peggy Noon about Ronald Reagan.

Oh I finished "Undaunted Courage a few months ago about the Lewis & Clark expedition which was an excellent read about the "America" of that time period

"Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" Just started it last night so I'm only about 25-30 pages in.

[apackof2]

You too!

Unholy Alliance : Radical Islam and the American Left

[birbear]

I just finished Dan Brown's "Angels and Demons". I'm in the middle of 2nd Chronicles in the Old Testament. I've got "The Case for Christ" going, and I'll probably start Michael Chrichton's book on Global Warming in a few days.

Don't have the book with me, but I think the correct title is "My Years at 10 Downing Street" by Margaret Thatcher. Just started reading it. Got it for Christmas. I already had her second book and I had put the first on my B-Day/Xmas wish list...and Santa left it under the tree.

Its a large book (ca. 500-600 pages) so it should keep me entertained for a while.

Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kinsolver.

It was required reading in my daughters high school English class. I better see what kind of anti-U.S. trash they were asking her to read.

It IS a great story, so far it DOES appear to be anti-U.S. But all in all a good read.

The Federalist Papers

[MplsSteve]

Hugh Hewitt's book is a good one. I read it about three months ago.

Should be required reading for all Freepers.

[colorcountry]

I also started reading "We Refused to Die My Time as a Prisoner of War in Bataan and Japan, 1942-1945. by Gene S. Jacobsen.

I haven't got to the good part yet. It is sure to be a very moving story.

[VRWCmember]

Oh, you mean like what books, magazines, etc. am I reading? Just started "Chronicles of Narnia - The Voyage of the Dawn Treader" (Book 3 as originally published or Book 5 in Narnia chronology order).
