What Are You Reading Now? - My Quarterly Survey of Freeper Reading Habits

9/27/07

[MplsSteve]

It's time again for my quarterly "What Are You Reading Now?" thread!

It can be anything...a NY Times bestseller, a technical journal, a trashy pulp novel...in short, anything!

DO NOT answer by saying "I'm Reading This Thread". It stopped being funny a long time ago.

Here's what I'm reading. I'm just about finished with "Street Without Joy" by Bernard Fall. It's about France's war in Vietnam from 1946-1954. Very interesting and tragic.

So, tell me. What are you reading now?

[Big Red Clay]

Currently reading Vince Flynn’s novels. I am in the middle of “The Third Option” after reading “Consent to Kill, Term Limits, and Transfer of Power” in the last 3 weeks. I read “Memorial Day” when it came out and loved it but just never got around to buying his other books.
Looking forward to the new one later this month.

Obviously I am hooked.

[Greg F]

Love your tagline SoftballMom. I have had the truth of it demonstrated in a few threads recently! It is sad that I am so wise and so many are so foolish. : P

[Plutarch]

Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, by Gibbons.

(Listening actually, downloaded from Audible)

Just finished Roughing It, by Mark Twain.

[Corin Stormhands]

Currently have open...

“The Holiness of God” by R.C. Sproul (for a class)
“Roaring Lambs” by Bob Briner
“Mirror, Mirror” by Gregory Maguire

And I’m just about finished with the audio version of “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” (I’ve already read it, but had an extended road trip last week)

Re-reading "The Runes of the Earth" by Stephen Donaldson in preparation for the next book in the series "Fatal Revenant" due out in a few weeks! ("The Final Chronicles of Thomas Covenant" trilogy)

[No Truce With Kings]

Lois McMasters Bujold’s Miles Vorkostigen series for one.

A mystery series by Leann Sweeney that is pretty good. It is set in Houston, near where I live, and it often wanders into the NASA area.

On a more serious note, “The Death of the Grown-Up,” “50 Rules Kids Won’t Learn in School: Real-World Antidotes to Feel-Good Education,” “Buffalo Soldiers in the West,” and “Following the Royal Road: A Guide to the Historic Camino Real De Tierra Andentro.”

[GodBlessRonaldReagan]

Just finished “The Nine Billion Names of God” by Arthur C. Clarke and “Casino” by Nicholas Peleggi. Next up is the vintage copy of “Teddy Bare” I snagged on eBay!

[3AngelaD]

Montefiore on Stalin was absolutely superb.

[Liberty Valance]

Proverbs Chapter 3.

[mountainlyons]

The Annals of World by James Ussher is in print after 400 years. I did not know that there were so many wars thousands of years ago.

[Oberon]

The Church History by Eusebius, The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien (for about the 8th time), Reflections on the Psalms by C.S. Lewis, and He Is There and He Is Not Silent by Francis Schaeffer.

With occasional glances at Rifle magazine.

[LanPB01]

“Dexter in the Dark” by Jeff Lindsay.

[gesully]

Exile by Richard North Patterson

[NeoCaveman]

I’m reading “Power to the People” by Laura Ingraham and I’m really enjoying it.

[SoftballMominVA]

Changing it today, based on something that happened to me recently
