What are you reading?

Forgot to add above - during a flight from Honolulu to Portland, I pretty much devoured ‘Midnight in Chernobyl’ by Adam Higginbotham.

Cheers,

I picked up Aliens: Phalanx... it's an interesting take on the Alien franchise. And besides, I loooove wild genre mixes.
 
I started to re- read The Stand a few months ago. I may pick it up again.

I saw this picture earlier today about rediscovering an old book that you had forgotten about.
 
from Honolulu to Portland
Tim, is that you?

In these stressy times I need something soothing and funny. Atm I read the Royal Spyness series by Rhys Bowen. The first volumes are a slightly tough read but then the author picks up speed. Some cases are predictable (4 Murders And Maybe A Wedding) but a few ones have very surprising solutions (Heirs And Graces).
 
Fiction: The Rising Sea by Clive Cussler and Graham Brown
Non Fiction: The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz

I'm really sorry, @think , I know that this is the third post of yours I have edited today. I have removed the PDF link. I assume you found the link directly by Google search?

There is a note on the main page of the www.bailey.it website, which states the following (translated from Italian to English by Google translate):

www.bailey.it said:
The rights to Alice Bailey's works are held by Lucis Trust. The Italian texts are published exclusively by Il Libraio delle Stelle where they can be purchased in hard copy and / or in e-books.
The PDFs of Alice Bailey's works previously available on this site have been removed to protect the rights held and exercised by Lucis Trust and Il Libraio delle Stelle in order to prevent them from being downloaded by attackers to commit illegal acts of abusive reprint as already happened

It appears that the links have been removed from their site, although they have apparently left the files there, assuming they were no longer reachable, but of course they can be reached directly via Google search. But since the links were removed specifically for copyright enforcement, I am required to remove the link from your post as well, in keeping with our site's anti-piracy rules.

Just to let you know, I did look over the remaining download links, which presumably are still OK for use, just to confirm that this one wasn't included there, and it was not.

yep simple google search also I did find a book of hers on the archive.org but it is not the one I am reading -- or even have.-- so I did download from .. archive the Bailey book but.. yeah.. You go right ahead and make it all copyright correct -- I thank you for your time and effort with these problems.. and legalities :)
 
I've not read any books for years. But, being out of work and the gyms being closed, I've had time to read a few!

The Wind Through the Keyhole by Stephen King
Damned by Chuck Palahniuk
Cabal by Clive Barker
and right now I'm reading the 37th Parallel by Ben Mezrich

Next in line are Tell All by Chuck Palahniuk
The Regulators by Richard Bachman
and possibly Closing Time by Joseph Heller
 
I’m in the middle of Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari. It’s a fascinating account of the history of our species and the agricultural, philosophical, political and economic conditions that brought us to this point. It conveys a sense of the impermanence of our species’ status quo. I have found myself disagreeing strongly with a few of his maxims, and then sometimes conceding that he probably has good reason for them. However, in general it has been quite an illuminating book.

Audio-wise, I’ve recently finished How To Think Like A Roman Emperor: The Stoic Philosophy of Marcus Aurelius, read by its author Donald D Robertson. A very interesting examination of the second-century emperor’s life and turbulent times, including his approach to his continuing physical ailment and the ever-present spectre of succession.
