What are you reading?

[Miss Chicken]

I am listening to Mount Dragon by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child, narrated by David Colacci.

I have read numerous Preston and Child books this year, including done of their solo books. I am looking forward to their new Pendergast book which comes out next month.

 

[Velocity]

Cats, Dogs, and Other Strangers at My Door by Jack Smith

 

[C. Cole-Chakotay]

I'm reading Left Behind Book 1 by Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins. I've read the series several times over the year.

 

[Ashu]

Just finished the idiot by dostoevsky.

Now reading The picture of Dorian grey by wilde

 

[Saga]

On The Road by Jack Kerouac

 

[Miss Chicken]

I am listening to The Cat, the Quilt and the Corpse by Leann Sweeney, narrated by Vanessa Johannson. It is a cozy mystery but the main character is so cat obsessed that she is annoying to even cat-loving me. I hope she mellows out a bit as the story continues.

 

[Random_Spock]

I'm rereading Under the Dome. Will be starting to read the first two Game of Thrones books shortly.

 

[Miss Chicken]

My current paperback read is The Poor Mouth: A Bad Story about the Hard Life by Flann O'Brien (Brian O'Nolan). I was reading it while in the doctor's waiting room and I could stop chuckling at the absurdity of the tale.

This morning I finished listening to A Dangerous Thing by Josh Lanyon. It is a murder mystery with a gay protagonist. Narrated by Chris Patton.

Tonight I started listening to Tell the Wolves I'm Home by Carol Rifka Brunt, narrated by Amy Rubinate. It is a story set in the 1980s and is about a teenage girl coping after her much loved uncle dies of AIDS.

A Short History of Byzantium, John Julius Norwich
Between the Testaments, D. S. Russell
The Strange Career of Jim Crow, C. Van Woodward

 

[Tora Ziyal]

Just finished The Golem of Hollywood, by Jonathan Kellerman and Jesse Kellerman. Suspense/horror. Fascinating, complicated, creepy.

does anybody write in their book margins as well? and what do you write..?

I don't write many comments in fiction, but I do in non-fiction and textbooks. I also highlight passages that I want to remember.

 

[Lowdarzz]

Earth Abides by George R. Stewart.

I've heard nothing but good things about it so it's time to give it a try.

Earth Abides by George R. Stewart.

I would be interested to hear your opinion. I have always loved the novel but when listening to it recently I found myself cringing over quite a few of Ish's opinions of people.

 

[Kai "the spy"]

Finished the Doc Savage novel "The Maji", onto "The Golden Man".

 

[Starkers]

I've just finished a re-read of The Survivor by James Herbert and now I've started The Martian.

 

[RJDiogenes]

Just finished The Golem of Hollywood, by Jonathan Kellerman and Jesse Kellerman. Suspense/horror. Fascinating, complicated, creepy.

Interesting. You don't see a lot of Golem novels. I might pick that up.

 

[Miss Chicken]

I have a book titled The Golem and the Jinni on my wish list.

Let me know what you think of it!

 

[SeerSGB]

Just finished Sword Art Online Light Novel Volume 02 and started on ARRL General Class License Manual 7th Edition.

 

[Australis]

Non-SF

Robert Goddard - The Ways of the World.
Next: CJ Sansom - Lamentations.

Both write adult thrillers with a strong line in plausibility and interesting plot twists. I recomment hem highly Goddard's are set in the 20th Centurty mostly, while Sansom's main series isabout Matthew Shardlake, lawyer in the time of Henry VIII. Damn good stuff.

 

[RJDiogenes]

I have a book titled The Golem and the Jinni on my wish list.

Sweet. I'll look for that, too.

Let me know what you think of it!

Will do.

Today, for Halloween, I think I'll be reading Arthur Machen's "The Great God Pan." Last night, I read the introduction to the anthology by Darrell Schweitzer-- this Machen was one messed-up dude, so this should be interesting. I'll probably also delve into my Creepy and Eerie archives.
