It's been a number of years since I last posted this and recently decided to start doing this again.
As you know, I regard most Freepers to be very well-read individuals. I like to know what people are currently reading. it can be anything - a NY Times bestseller, a technical journal, a magazine you picked up at the grocery store, etc.
Please do not ruin this thread by posting "I'm reading This Thread". It's not that funny. Seriously.
I'll start...
I'm reading "Gettysburg: the Second Day" by harry W Pfanz. It's a deep book covering in extensive detail - yes you guessed it, the second day of the battle of Gettysburg. I just finished "Gettysburg: The First Day". I would not recommend either book for anyone looking for a good initial read on this battle but others may like it.
Well, what are you reading now?
If anyone is interested, my latest murder mystery was published in May. It’s gotten some good reviews, and good reader feeedback as well. It has an interesting slant on press bias as the amateur sleuth/novice reporter solves a murder while scooping the competition. PM me and I send you the link. I’m also looking for someone to review it for publication in a conservative venue.
Jane Hawk series by Koontz.
It's a hefty tome, but once started I never wanted it to end. I think it to be Dicken's best.
I picked up to read ‘Thomas Reid-Inquiry and Essays’, but ended up setting it aside to read ‘Last Stands: Why Men Fight When All Is Lost’.
I want to learn more about Thomas Reid and his ideas but I guess I will have to wait for that mood.
Need an escape from politics for now.
By the way, that's 4,200 pages of reading across five volumes.
Just finished Is Atheism Dead. About halfway through The Perfect Storm by Sebastian Junger.
Magazines I read regularly : Backwoodsman, Primitive Archer, Fur, Fish and Game, Wonderful West Virginia, Virginia Wildlife and American Hunter
[[What Are You Reading Now?]]
My prescription bottle directions
Good post!! Currently, light reading includes
Rhett Butler’s People
Breathe - learning how to breathe properly
Vacuuming In The Nude and Other Ways to Get Attention
Just had my book published by TBN-The Republic of Texas.
It is in book and audiobook form at most outlets.
“The Last Full Measure” by Jeff Shaara for my waiting-room book. Rereading “The Travels of Jaimie McPheeters” by Robert Lewis Taylor for my bedside book.
False Alarm,
The Truth about the epidemic of fear
by Marc Siegel
The only other Dickens I've read are A Christmas Carol and Great Expectations (the latter in high school).
“The Plantagenets: The Warrior Kings and Queens Who Make England” by Dan Jones; “The Twelve Caesars” by Suetonius; and “Hitler” by Joachim C. Fest.
Return of the King.
Again.
I also heard the series criticized for its feminist slant, over-emphasizing the role of women. That it devoted a greater portion of time to women's role in WWI (on the front and at home) than their impact merited.
Ringworld Engineers.
By Matt Bracken.
Matt is a great writer, and a great guy.
Truth teller...for sure.
