OK, it's time for my quarterly What Are You Reading Now? survey.
I do this because I like to gauge what Freepers are reading. I believe that the Freeper community are one of the more well-read on the Internet.
What are you reading? It can be anything...a classic novel, a NY Times bestseller, a technical journal, a trashy pulp novel - in short, anything.
Please do not defile this thread by replying "I'm Reading This Thread". It became unfunny a long time ago.
I'll start. I'm reading "Pickett's Charge: A Microstudy" by George R Stewart. It was written in 1959 and is a classic read about the last day of the battle of Gettysburg. It was his only book about the Civil War but he wrote many others.
Well, what are you reading?
After I was done with that one I threw it down the "gravity well."
Great book.
“Reagan’s Secret War” by Martin and Annalise Anderson
I just finished it this afternoon.
I was disappointed.
I loved that.
Don’t you just love Sandford.
Not sure. I’ve read a few of his books, but I really am a big fan of J.A.Jance. I’ve read all of her stuff, and, in a chance meeting, influenced her into getting Beau and Joanna together on a case.
I think I saw ‘Sweet Starfire’ today at Walmart. It had a 1986 copyright. If I have read them, I don’t remember them.
A Son of Thunder: Patrick Henry and the American Republic by Henry Mayer
Bibical Theology by Geerhardus Vos
Free download on itunes via the iphone Kindle App.
Compare and contrast that great man with the communist muzzie son of a whore currently in residence at the White House.
I have read all of her books too.
Just finished some of the Henning Mankell books(Kurt Wallander series) and Stieg Larsson.
Both Swedes,very successful in Europe,and translated into English because of their popularity.
Michael Connelly and Laurence Block (Matt Scudder series) are great also.
Good for you for influencing J.A. Jance. I’m impressed.
So many mysteries,so little time.
Talent is Never Enough (John Maxwell)
Intellectuals and Society (Thomas Sowell)
It was funny, I was walking down the street in Long Beach Washington on a rainy day, and saw that Jance was doing a book signing at the lone book store. I went in and was THE ONLY ONE THERE!!! We talked for at least 15 minutes.
I do a little writing myself, and thoroughly enjoyed my talk with her.
What to Listen for in Music by Aaron Copeland
I’ve enjoyed several of Piper’s books. I especially liked Don’t Waste Your Life. I will probably read it again soon.
I really enjoyed Gordon Wood’s Revolutionary Characters. He recently published a new book Empire of Liberty: A History of the Early Republic, which is in my pile to read. He’s a fine historian.
