What Are You Reading Now? (My Quarterly Survey)

1/12/10

[MplsSteve]

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?

Just finished “Olive Kitteridge”...Pulitzer Prize Winner. She’s a character who few like...but there’s a little bit of Olive in all of us.

Hi MplsSteve,
The two I’m reading right now are Here Is Your War, by Ernie Pyle, and Paul Johnson’s A History of the American People.

“Wheel of Time” Series by Robert Jordan. I’m currently on the fourth book.

[ClearCase_guy]

"Patriots" by John Wesley Rawles. Best novel I've read since "Unintended Consequences" by John Ross.

And "Engineering Documentation Control Handbook" by Frank B. Watts. I find it gripping and suspenseful.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Going Rogue, Truman.

Everything I can find on-line about Symantec End Point Protection, as well as Windows Server 2008, and performance tuning the servers. UGH...

I'm listening to audio books of Harry Potter & The Half Blood Prince (for about the 5th time) and once it and Deathly Hallows are done, I'll be listening to Jonah Goldberg's "Liberal Fascism," though it might be hard to do it at work, given the level of concentration I need to keep on my work. I may just go back and listen to Heinlein's "Job, A Comedy of Justice," or maybe "Time Enough for Love:" Something light. I sort of wish that they'd come out with "Number of the Beast" on Audible.

"A History of the American People" is an excellent book.

I sometimes wonder if liberals accidentally buy Paul's book instead of Howard Zinn's trash because of the similar titles.

Finished Going Rogue by Sarah Palin. Excellent read.

Just finished Citizen of the Galaxy by Robert Heinlein.Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Now reading The Moon is a Harsh Mistress by Heinlein.

Sarah Palin’s “ Going Rogue “ and Martin Gilbert's “ A History of the Twentieth Century Volume two: 1933 - 1951 “

Just finished “ The Pirate Coast. Thomas Jefferson, the First Marines and the Secret Mission of 1805 “ by Richard Zacks.

Always recommend anything by Gilbert, Zacks book is fantastic and Sarah is queen of the world as far as I'm concerned.
