Well, it ain't the latest, but it's the greatest = The Grapes of Wrath.

Dig it out and read it again in the new light of this new "dust storm".

It rings true.

It's lot's of fun too.

Lines like "..ain't big enough to plug a ants a$$!".

Just finished for the third time “Atlas Shrugged”. I get something new and meaningful every time I read it.

Atlas Shrugged.

So timeless!

Love this thread!!!!!
Ann Granger mysteries. I think I have exhausted the supply, though.
The Lost City of Z was an interesting (and icky) read about Amazon forest exploration.

re-reading ‘Sarum’ for lack of anything else to read. I have no TV and so read in the evenings a lot. Have run out of things that take my imagination lately.

Re: Nebula Award Winners -— will try to get it on Amazon. Sci-Fi from that period was wonderful.

Re: Grapes of Wrath -— pretty good. Depictions of Okies were, I think, inaccurate, they seemed more like English working-class people. ‘Mice And Men’ is the best.

I REALLY really recommend ‘Forsaken’. Amazing research about a l;ittle-known episode.

p.s. thanks for posting this. Sometimes I think conservatives have not much concern for the arts. Can’t blame people, however, considering the state of modern art in all disciplines.

“Bel Ami” in French by Maupassant.

Just finished (finally) “The Lost” by Daniel Mendelsohn. A story of reconstructing what happened to the author’s relatives in the holocaust in the Ukraine. Fascinating research but nearly unreadable as whoever served as his editor should be sued for malpractice.

I am currently reading “Federalist/Anti-federalist”

It’s nice to be able to read the for and against arguments from our founding fathers. They both had some very good points.

Just finished Lone Survivor the story of Marcus Luttrell, the only survivor of the SEAL Team 10 disaster in Afghanistan. Excellent read. He highlights the liberal's prosecution of soldiers for doing their job and how that led the team to let some goat herders go who had spotted them and they tipped off the Taliban. Highly recommended book.
