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?
Jews God and History, also J. Vernon McGee’s
book Reveling through Revelation part II
Going Rogue and Arguing with Idiots.
Vernor Vinge, “Peace War” on my Kindle.
I generally have a half dozen books open and lying around the house and will read them all episodically rather than read each one all the way through at one sitting. This is my current group.
Mere Christianity by C. S. Lewis
The Misbegotten Son: A Serial Killer And His Victims—The true story of Arthur J. Shawcross.
A book about some lady from Alaska.
Black Ops by W.E.B. Griffin
"I'm sure." She smiled at him indulgently, dismissively. "Bye. Oh, and I will ask our admin to check out your rates."
"Thank you," he said. "You'll find we're very competitive." He stood up and patted his gun. "Let's go."
When he'd gone she had the nagging feeling that more than one person had left.
Sea of Gray: The Around-the-World Odyssey of the Confederate Raider Shenandoah
Finally finished “How the Scots Invented the Modern World”, just finished “Going Rogue”, and now on Robert B. Parker’s “Brimstone”.
The Line Through the Heart, J. Budziszewski, an analysis of natural law as fact and theory.
City of the Sharp-nosed Fish P. Parsons, Greek lives in Roman Egypt based on recently translated troves of ancient papyrus found in arid parts of eastern Egypt.
Although Paul Johnson does manage to conflate CSA Gen Joseph Johnston with CSA Gen Albert Sidney Johnston. But then he is a Brit.
this thread.
actually I have been reading scifi and fantasy free ebooks from Baen’s Books
The Road to Serfdom by Hayek (read it 30 years ago).
The Black Mountain by Rex Stout
What Color is Your Parachute 2010-Bolles
Re-reading William Manchester’s biography of Winston Churchill. It’s “heavy going” so I have to intersperce it with Vince Flynn, David Baldacci and Bernard Cornwell books (mostly on Kindle).
