What Are You Reading?

Thanks. I believe that's just an updated reissue of a book that was originally published in 2010.
On a brighter note, there is a 3 CD set of her live show coming out this month!!!

I'm waiting for the DVD!! Though I will get the CD set.

Check the "What artists are you listening to" thread for a special treat.

I'm hoping there will be a DVD but lets not hold our breath; I don't think she wants to release one. I also hope one day she tours the US, but that will probably never happen. She did come to NYC when Hounds of Love was released and signed autographs at Tower Records. Of course I was there!

I will!!!

I just finished Little Women. God bless public domain books. It was a childhood favorite. I found the mores and morals and the view of feminine manners very dated, but they would be. Overall it was a great read. They fought and played and whined and were a normal family. Lots of love between them. Ups and downs. Try it again.

Mr. Mercedes.

I'm reading Anton Chekhov's Three Years short novel. After that I'm going to read Carl Sagan's Pale Blue Dot, or Jim Butcher's Summer Knight.

Just finished SHIFT by Hugh Howey.
This took me longer to read than I would have liked, curse you real life!!
It's not as good as WOOL (for me), but I did love every page. Very interesting p.o.v. on certain events from the 1st book and also gave some fascinating insight to the history of the WOOL world too. Now, I just need real life to back off a touch while I dive into the last book in the trilogy DUST

Finders Keepers.

Finally finished Requiem for a Dream. Talk about an abrupt ending. I feel like I wasted my time reading it.

Just started a very chick-lit book called The Trouble With Lexie. Not a genre I usually tead, but needed something opposite of Requiem. And Lexie was on sale lol.

I've read some books during the time we we're closed. Death in Captivity, Smallbone Deceased and The Body of a Girl by Michael Gilbert, Big Planet, The Blue World and Emphyrio by Jack Vance, Tales from Watership Down by Richard Adams. and Roses From The Earth by Carol Ann Lee. It is a biography over Anne Frank. A good one. I may have missed some but i suddenly got some extra time and what can a man do but read......?

I am half-way through Dracula and Hitler the author is keeping his characters true to Stoker's words.

Reading Black House.

I just finished watching the mini series and it made me want to re-read this one. I'm about half way through and have enjoyed this re-read. It's still riveting even though I know what's going to happen (at least the parts I haven't forgotten).

There are a lot of great stories in this collection. Pin is one that stayed with me for a long time. Chico is another good one. I wish he would have continued the novella Night Calls The Green Falcon- it deserves to continue.

I thought the novella Blue World was awesome

I read a few books since we shut down for a while:
The Short Reign Of Pippin IV by John Steinbeck. Quite funny in parts!
Let's Explore Diabetes With Owls by David Sedaris. Also quite funny!
The Secret History Of Twin Peaks by Mark Frost. A wonderful way to pique (pun intended!) interest in the returning television show.

Here's what I read during the break:

A Man Called Ove, by Fredrick Backman
Misery (reread)
The World According to Garp, by John Irving
Bay's End, but Edward Lorn
The Nix, by Nathan Hill (my favorite read of 2016-- SO good!!!)
Of Mice and Men, by John Steinbeck

I'm currently rereading The Tommyknockers.

White Horse by Alex Adams, i stopped at page 100. I had a really hard time connecting with the main character. the writing style didn't do it
for me either. First time in years i started a book and didn't finish...

Now reading Joyland for the first time. Read half the book in a couple of hours, really, really, really good

I started The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay last week. I know this book has been out for a number of years and that it is very popular, but for some reason I just never got around to reading it. I've actually never read a book by Michael Chabon. So far, I am enjoying it. The writing is very good and I love the subject matter (WWII era comic book industry). It reminds me of The Funny Papers book trilogy by Tom DeHaven, which is one of my all-time favorites.

....reading Steve's portion now of Hearts In Suspension.....I spent time on everyone else's essays first....may sound ass backwards, but I was more interested in their take first, then compare it to how the Wordslinger summed it all up.....before the break, I think it was Walt-said how "serious" King's take was.....and it certainly isn't frivolous, but his touch is there-entertaining even in reality......

Found the essays enlightening. All the feelings, worries, and actions of those years came flooding back. I'd say the book was a winner.
