Hi everyone! It's time again for my quarterly "What Are You Reading Now?" survey.
As you know, I consider Freepers to be among the most well-read of those of us on the 'Net. I like to get a feel as to what everyone is reading right now.
It can be anything - a technical journal, a NY Times best seller, a class work of fiction, a trashy pulp novel. In short, it can be anything.
Please do not respond to this thread by posting "I'm reading this thread" - or any variation thereof. It became really unfunny a long time ago.
I'll start. I'm reading "The King of California: J.G. Boswell and the making of a secret American Empire" by Mark Arax and Rick Wartzman. It's part history, part biography and part expose of the Boswell family of Central California, a mega-farming corporation in the Central Valley. It's fascinating reading.
Well, what are YOU reading right now?
Umberto Eco - The Name of the Rose
It’s a fairly fast read, I had trouble putting it down.
Re-read all of the Ender books earlier this year and added both the Shadow and Giant portions of the franchise.
Had a month’s worth of Ender immersion!
I got the Nook Touch a few weeks ago and have become a e-reader convert with all my travel.
Just got done with a big project at Fort Lost in the Woods and am now looking at a really really big one.
I am simultaneously reading Erik Larson’s “In the Garden of Beasts,” and Sherrilyn Kenyon’s sci-fj romans, “Born of Shadows.” Recent reads have included Stieg Larsson’s “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo,” and “The Girl Who Played with Fire,” Paolo Bacigalupi’s “The Windup Girl,” and Ted Dekker and Tosca Lee’s “Forbidden.”
Next on my list are Dick Cheney’s “In My Time,” and Michael Connelly’s “The Drop.”
House of Sand and Fog. Page turner!
Get Some!!
Bump!
“The Amateur” by Edward Klein. Excellent book.
