Written by a friend who is a heart surgeon

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1620247690/
Surviving the Suffering by Dr. Tim Moore

As a practicing cardiovascular surgeon, I have seen firsthand much suffering. The profession that I have chosen means that a few people under my care each year will die. I have seen all of the emotions man can feel under these circumstances, from rage to peace, from fear to calm, from sadness to hope. I have seen optimism cruelly crushed, and unsalvageable situations miraculously changed.

Looking at Brighton Rock by Graham Greene. Well, I’m resting my coffee cup on it but I love Greene’s novels.

To: US Navy Vet; All
I'm glad you asked! Right now for my light or 'beach' reading, I have James Dashner's The Scorch Trials, the second in The Maze Runner series; it is written for young adults, but is a fun read; also, Untold Stories of World War II is awesome, tells the heroic stories of vicious combat; I'm sure you've heard of Senator Daniel Inouye? He single-handedly took out 3 Wehrmacht pill boxes during fighting in Italy in 1943, two of them after he had his right arm blown off, the last after he had also been shot in the leg! Won the Medal of Honor for those heroics! I can almost forgive him his later liberalism after I read that. Also just got finished with The Good Soldier, autobiography of a Viennese soldier who fought in the Grossdeutschland Division of the Wehrmacht; very interesting read. I love my Kindle Fire! What is everyone else reading?

Well, I am ALWAYS reading the Bible. I have eight bookmarks..The Torah, History, Poetry, Prophets, The Gospels, The Book of Acts, The Letters, and Revelation. I read one chapter from each bookmark every night. Unfortunately, my Torah Bookmark is right now in Numbers, and my History Bookmark is in Chronicles, so it’s a bit of a tough slog. However, “Poetry” is in Proverbs, “Prophets” is in Daniel, and the NT is going very smoothly, as I nearly have it memorized. (LOL!).

Other books get read as well, most recently “The Technologists”, “The Altar of Bones”, “The Hidden Oasis”, “The Assassins Accomplice”, and “A Time For War”.

“The Brief Against Obama” by Hugh Hewitt was interesting, but it was all stuff we have ALREADY discussed on FR! LOL!

Oh, I loved that book, back when I was in highschool. I saw the dvd recently and bought it. Not a great movie, by any means, but it brought back memories, at least.

Currently down to the last 100 pages of Atlas Shrugged. Great book, but Rand is SO wordy. She makes every (good) point about 50 times too many.

Currently also reading The Phantom Tollbooth. Very clever.

Finished the first 2 Bob Lee Swagger novels by Stephen Hunter

I’m currently reading two books:

1. “The Ecclesiastical History of the English People” by the Venerable Bede.

2. “Forging the Shield: U.S. Army in Europe 1951-1962” by Dr. Donald A. Carte. This is the newest volume of the U.S. Army Center of Military History’s U.S. Army in the Cold War series. Its official release date is today. I managed to get an advance copy. It is available for purchase from the Government Printing Office or online at http://www.history.army.mil/bookshelves.html

And no, I am NOT its author.

I’m looking forward to all the answers but I’d like to ask a question of my own. How many are Kindle users and how many are old fashioned paper-and-fabric book readers? And why?
