Ralphie Posted June 27, 2018 Share #3 Posted June 27, 2018 My car pool is listening to The Rooster Bar by Grisham. I am rereading How We Learn because it didn;t sink in the first time. The author is Benedict Carey, and I am thinking he HAS to be Englich or Kanadian, because what Amurrican would name their kid Benedict? Nope! Amurrican.

Dottleshead Posted June 27, 2018 Share #7 Posted June 27, 2018 I keep reading tidbits from the plethora of fine reading material scattered around Skyrim. Next time you ask, you're going to get a nasty spell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralphie Posted June 27, 2018 Share #8 Posted June 27, 2018 Now I am reading The Guardian of All Things: The Epic Story of Human Memory. It is a somewhat dense book and this is my second or third attempt. So far so good. Other things in life need those : descriptor phrases, like RR: Arrogance R Us Cheese: The Different Drummer Exemplified. etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsnip Totin Jack Posted June 27, 2018 Share #9 Posted June 27, 2018 Founding Rivals: Madison vs Monroe, The Bill of Rights, and the Election That Saved a Nation. In 1789, Madison and Monroe ran against each other for Congress - the only time that two future Presidents have contested a congressional seat. Madison was one of the Constitution's principal authors. Monroe was one of its leading opponents. Madison's victory helped secure the passage of the Bill of Rights.

late Posted June 27, 2018 Share #10 Posted June 27, 2018 I also just started Facts and Fears by James Clapper. It's about the mess we're in, and it's a lot better than I thought it would be. Well, it's better so far, I just started it. Here's a review: https://www.npr.org/2018/05/22/613107871/in-facts-and-fears-ex-spy-boss-clapper-comes-in-from-the-cold-badly-chilled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put it down shortly after starting it. I haven’t been able to pick it back up. Let me know what you think of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Posted June 27, 2018 Share #16 Posted June 27, 2018 Nothing at the moment, but on vacation in a few weeks I'm planning to read Louise Penny's A Trick of the Light. I like the writing in her books so much that I don't want to read them in a rushed manner with a chapter or so at night after work. I always save one for vacation where I can read at leisure and get caught up in the world presented in the books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kind of like it that the hero is an old guy like me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I ever dig my way out, I think I will give that a try. I've enjoyed a lot of detective stories. I got 2 more scifi books from the library, and I need to squeeze that serious book in. (It's not really about time, it's laziness). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That reminds of the Shootout in the Whiteout in that Trevanian book, not sure which one, maybe Shibumi. Takes place on a flat mtn top in a whiteout. I don't think I'd enjoy that.

late Posted June 29, 2018 Share #22 Posted June 29, 2018 Just started Saturn Run, I liked the beginning, but then a lot of scifi is fast out of the gate only to fall on it's face in the backstretch. Something very big and very alien just dropped into orbit around Saturn, and we're gonna take a look see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
