Thought this might be an interesting thread given the wide range of knowledge that exists on this forum.

I've been on recent kick re-reading some of my all time favorites. Just finished The Gold Coast by Nelson DeMille, and currently deep into Prince of Tides by Pat Conroy.

    Whatever I get for free from Amazon for my Kindle.  Hit or miss quality but usually helps me get to sleep.

    Brad Thor's Black Lash and Fly Boys.  I go through stages of reading, when I get something interesting I forgo sleep to finish.  

    Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent.

    I just finished Perdido Street Station by China Mieville. It took a while to get into (he's kind of a dense writer) but enjoyed it by the end. Now starting its followup, The Scar.

    This arrived the other day, I forgot that I had pre-ordered it.

    I'll probably start it tomorrow.

    What I was reading this afternoon even I found a bit bizarre:  Agamemnon, the first play of the Oresteia by Aeschylus, a Greek tragedy from the 5th Century BC.  And I loved it!  I got a "warehouse clearance" catalog from the Great Courses company a month ago and found 2 of their courses that originally had been hundreds of dollars but now were $30, so I said what the heck, not that interested but for $30 I'll give it a shot.  One of them was on Greek Tragedy, so I've been watching video lectures about ancient Greek plays, and it's been surprisingly interesting.  The first one she went into in depth wound up being the Oresteia by Aeschylus, and it sounded good, so I bought a book and read the first play, and actually loved it!

    Yeah.  Weird, I know.  I've always been an odd guy.  I usually have several books of different types going at once, and I'm also reading Talking to the Ground by Douglas Preston, which is about a 400 mile horseback journey he took with his wife and daughter, years ago in Navajo country, and so far it's really good.  I also read Old Bones a few days ago, by him and Lincoln Child, kind of a mystery/thriller, and it was good. And I read The Overstory by Richard Powers a few weeks ago, and it was amazing!

    It would be better if it wasn’t federal.  Like a serial murderer or something.  But still.  Criminals have interesting stories.

    See, the thing about this book, it has been audited, and most of it isn't true.

    This guy is a complete zero.  All he managed to do was trip over his own Johnson and lie to the FBI.

    I am currently re-reading A Fine Balance by Rohinton Mistry. An amazing story about the struggles and hardship dealing with the caste system in India in the 1970's. The only other book that I have re-read is Barney's Version by Mordecia Richler. Amazing story teller and a canadian icon.

    Ha, good point. I was prepping to make pulled pork - photos posted separately last night - and came across the reading thread while doing some research!

    Anyone for Sci-Fi? I'm currently reading The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. Le Guin, good so far.

    The few before this were:
    • All You Need is Kill - Hiroshi Sakurazaka
    • Childhood's End - Arthur C. Clarke
    • The Forever War - Joe Haldeman
    • The Mote in God's Eye - Jerry Pournelle and Larry Niven

    Read sci-fi like eating pop corn when I was younger. Know all of the above except Sakurazaka. All good.

    For LeGuin, books 1 & 2 of the Earthsea trilogy are very fine. #3 a bit less.

    Current reading, my goddaughter's dissertation. "The Diffusion of a Debate: Cultural Resonance and Resource Control in American Organizations’ Framings of Climate Change." A gripping tale of textual and contextual analysis.
