Okee, here we go:
w/ the kids:
Three Strangers Come To Call, by Janis Kent Percefull
The Twenty-One Balloons, by William Pene du Bois
That Hideous Strength, C.S. Lewis
just me:
Conservatives Without Conscience, by John W. Dean (it’s HILARIOUS)
Symbolic Logic, by Lewis Carroll
Bram Stoker’s Dracula on my Crackberry via B and N eReader and Gaunt’s Ghosts: The Founding by Dan Abnett (Warhammer 40K, Black Library). Next up is Volume 2 of Sherlock Holmes collection.
It's the fascinating story of the life of a kid who is abused at home, so he heads out to the old west and bounces around. I love it for the reality. It has a religious ending which is ok, too. The ending is separate and does not color the rest of the book, so it would be interesting for all.
It's a great book, and a book which can be easily read. It is chock full of interesting facts and anecdotes most people have never heard - including myself, and I consider myself somewhat of a history buff.
Most school teachers wouldn't like it, though. It doesn't have over half the page space covered with useless pictures and it takes a dim view of the Progressives who have been destroying America for over 100 years. It also calls them out, chapter and verse.
This is a must read. I bought 5 extra copies and plan to give them as Christmas presents to all my adult children and my sister-in-law.
Let’s see- just finished the latest Dresden Files novel, “Changes”, a book on vikings, one on D-day, one on the inventor of the Erector Set, A.C. Gilbert (a fascinating man), various and sundry old magazines that I pick up here and there (Popular Science and the like, preferably from the forties and fifties, Fine Homebuilding, woodworking mags- anything about making stuff), and I’ve just picked up Red Storm Rising for a re-read.
Oh, and the other day I read “S**t My Dad Says”, which was very entertaining.
Yeah- I read a *lot*.
I just started On the Road by Jack Kerouac .
I Love You, Ronnie
