It's time again for my quarterly "What Are You Reading Now?" thread.
I like to do this to gauge what Freepers are reading. It can be anything...a best-seller, a literary classic, a trashy pulp novel, even a magazine, etc.
I usually get a good number of responses from those of you in the Freeper universe.
I'll start. Right now, I'm reading "Orange Empire: California and the Fruits of Eden" by Douglas Cazaux Freeman. It's about the birth and growth of California's citrus industry.
Well, what are you reading now?!

I'vw got some free time right now, so I'm jumping around to a few different things: Henry Kissinger's Diplomacy, Martin Amis's Koba the Dread: Laughter and the 20 Million, and John Eldredge's Wild at Heart about Christian manhood.

I'm reading 'When Pride Still Mattered' by David Maraniss, an excellent book on the life of NFL great Vince Lombardi, and I highly recommend it to all FReepers.

Im reading The History of the KGB. Its is from a guy named Mitrohkin who was a KGB archivist. The FDR administration, the lefts icon, was riddled with Soviet agents. The book names names and describes how indifferent FDR and his people were to the knowledge they had been penetrated...

I'm glad to find another a fellow Koontz fan!
I'm down to the last 8 pages or so. I usually read a Dean Koontz novel in one big sit down, but I was too busy over Christmas.
Where are you at in the Novel? I don't want to give too much away through a stray comment

Gilead by Marilynne Robinson. I'm about 30 pages in and it's boring as crap. I'll give it 20 more pages.
