What Are You Reading Now? - My Quarterly Survey of Freeper Reading Habits
9/27/07
Posted on 09/27/2007 8:09:20 AM PDT by MplsSteve
It's time again for my quarterly "What Are You Reading Now?" thread!
It can be anything...a NY Times bestseller, a technical journal, a trashy pulp novel...in short, anything!
DO NOT answer by saying "I'm Reading This Thread". It stopped being funny a long time ago.
Here's what I'm reading. I'm just about finished with "Street Without Joy" by Bernard Fall. It's about France's war in Vietnam from 1946-1954. Very interesting and tragic.
So, tell me. What are you reading now?

Currently reading Vince Flynn’s novels. I am in the middle of “The Third Option” after reading “Consent to Kill, Term Limits, and Transfer of Power” in the last 3 weeks. I read “Memorial Day” when it came out and loved it but just never got around to buying his other books.
Looking forward to the new one later this month.
Obviously I am hooked.

Love your tagline SoftballMom. I have had the truth of it demonstrated in a few threads recently! It is sad that I am so wise and so many are so foolish. : P

Lois McMasters Bujold’s Miles Vorkostigen series for one.
A mystery series by Leann Sweeney that is pretty good. It is set in Houston, near where I live, and it often wanders into the NASA area.
On a more serious note, “The Death of the Grown-Up,” “50 Rules Kids Won’t Learn in School: Real-World Antidotes to Feel-Good Education,” “Buffalo Soldiers in the West,” and “Following the Royal Road: A Guide to the Historic Camino Real De Tierra Andentro.”
