What Are You Reading Now? - My Quarterly Inquiry About Freeper Reading Habits
6/27/07

Posted on 06/27/2007 6:56:19 AM PDT by MplsSteve

Well, it's time again for my quarterly inquiry for "What Are You Reading Now?".

It can be anything. A classic novel. A technical journal. A trashy pulp novel. A best-seller. Please DO NOT defile this thread with a unfunny reply such as "I'm Reading This Thread".

I'll start. I'm reading "Backlash: The Killing of the New Deal" by Robert Shogan. A interesting and easy read about how Roosevelt's court-packing scheme as well as labor union troubles helped to derail his plans for explanding the New Deal.

Well, what are you reading right now?

Your taxes are helping to pay for those books. Use the library and request the books you want to read if they don’t carry them.

I'm halfway through The Solitude of Thomas Cave by Georgina Harding. It's a historical novel about a man who lives, alone, for a year in the Artic in 1616.

Have just finished Pete Hamill's North River, a novel about New York during The Depression. Hamill's book, Forever is excellent.

Gerald Seymour's Rat Run is a good read, as are all his books. He writes British spy novels, and his current ones focus on the WOT.

I get them all at the library.
