    Just started Red Planet Blues by Robert J. Sawyer. So far, I like it. Quite an interesting concept.

    Last night I read the last three stories in Zoran Zivkovic's Compartments. It is the 7th book by Zivkovic that I have read. It has been the book in my handbag for 3 or 4 months and I have only been reading a few pages at a time while waiting for a bus etc.

    I am reading Apple: A Global History by Erika Janik on my iPad. Apple as in the fruit.

    My shoulder has improved enough to make holding a book, Kindle or iPad possible. My pain level is down to 2/10 but my whole arm is quite weak.

    I am listening to Impact by Douglas Preston which is the third book in the Wyman Ford series. Narrated by Scott Sowers. Good so far.

    Gutenberg is a labor of love. :adore:

    I'm glad to hear that you're finally feeling better. I imagine your arm will strengthen up now that you get to use it more. :)

    I have started to listen to The Spirit and the Skull by J.M. Hayes, narrated by Barry Press. A paleolithic tribe are migrating across Alaska when a murder occurs among the people and the Spirit Man has to investigate and try and discover the killer.

    I am continuing to read the book about apples on my Kindle, I am about half way through.

    I will probably start on a paperback tomorrow. I have quite a pile to choose from.

    Not much of a reader until recently, but I finished The Strain and now halfway through the second book in the trilogy, The Fall. I also recommend Ready, Player One for any hardcore gamers. Great read with so many hilarious Easter eggs and nods to game references.

    nice I was reading the brothers but gave the brothers book away... well traded it for crime and punishment... wanted to trace church and state and educational institutions interconnections in the brothers book but ,, duh gave the book away so I bought the Idiot ,, I think that is why because of the title and to have the Idiot sit on my bookshelf.. douht

    right now I am using Poppers Ideas in conjectures and refutations to refute A Course in Miracles... this is really easy to do, but it keeps me busy right?

    I am listening to The Wasp Factory by Iain Banks, narrated by Peter Kenny. A rather disturbing tale.

    Awesome. Im kind of on a weird Russian literature kick myself. Read some nabakov then moved to Dostoevsky. Started with Crime and punishment, then Underground, and after the idiot I'll probably move on to Brothers. Eventually get to Tolstoy lol

    One of my favorites books, I read it some years ago and I really enjoied it, probably because I felt exactly as the main character, especially in the first part.
    Crime and Punishment is also one of my favorites, so if you like Dostoevsky I suggest you to read it:)
    I have not read The Idiot yet, but I will;)

    EDIT: Sorry, I read you have read Crime and Punishment yet lol Have you read Under Western Eyes by Conrad? It is ispired by Crime and Punishment, it speaks about guilty too, but in a different way.
