I just finished a book that was so good I couldn't do anything else in my free time until I had finished it. However, it's probably not your typical fare for this crowd....or maybe it is......? The book is "Exploding The Phone," by Phil Lapsley. http://explodingthephone.com/
Well, I finished the Obsidion Trilogy, and now I've begun the next trilogy in the series; book 1 of the Undying Flame...Phoenix Unchained.
Radicals for Capitalism: A Freewheeling History of American Libertarianism Paleofantasy: What Evolution Really Tells Us about Sex, Diet, and How We Live A People's History of the Supreme Court "Frewheeling" means "not edited much". The author actually used the word "natch". Gagh!
Ooh that's interesting. I always liked the film, never knew if was based on a book. Let us all know if its any good
I have finished and I really enjoyed it. 4/5. However, though the beginning is quite similar to the movie, its ending its very different. I didn't mind this ending but I can understand why some people who loved the movie might not.
You wrote one thing I hadn't read about or guessed (right) yet, is all. Just a guess: same (one year, or is it a half?) period as for all other media, but that's not the point. The point is that you caught me off guard That's a very good idea! I wouldn't want the other books I've not read yet spoiled... lI mean, would you start reading Hamlet, War and Peace, The Idiot, Ulysses... if you knew what they were all about
Just got Kathy Reichs' new Tempe Brennan novel, Bones of the Lost, on my Kindle. Halfway through it already!
I have just started reading The Satin Man: Uncovering the mystery of the missing Beaumont children by Alan Whiticker. The disappearance of the 3 Beaumont children from a beach in Adelaide in 1966 is Australia's greatest mystery and I believe that the author gives his own theory about what happened to them in this book.
This prompted me to look the incident up on Wikipedia. Very sad, I'd be interesting in knowing what his conclusions are? I finished Daughter of Smoke and Bone, just started The Testimony
"Mostly Harmless", The fifth, and last book of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series to be written by Douglass Adams. I was planning to read Eon Colifer's new book, "And Another Thing....", when it occured to me that it's been at least twenty years since I read the other books, so I decided to refresh my memory of the older stuff, despite the fact that I listen to my CD's of the radio series once a year.
I thought they were. You shouldn't be disapointed. If you afford it, you should hunt down a copy of the hardcover that collects them all (minus AND ANOTHER THING...). At least, I THINK it collects all of Adams' books. My copies are thirty year old paperback editions, so I never bothered to look too closely at that hardcover. I just know it exists.
The man who Whiticker points the finger at is dead and the accuser is the man's son. Though some of the evidence Whiticker gives is compelling the police have recently dismissed the man as a suspect. I am not really convinced either way and I would like to see the police look into it some more including thorough searches of the houses and a factory owned by the man named. I have started to read Death by Black Hole and other Cosmic Quandaries by Neil DeGrasse Tyson (on my iPad) and I am also reading Hyena by Mikita Brottman which is about the hyena from both a biological and a historical/cultural perspective.
I'm reading books about database modeling and java.. But i sneak read Karin Fossum "I can see in the dark" on the buss.
