[katanalori]

2. I am reading........

Max Blumenthal’s book, "Republican Gomorrah"

[Zavulon]

3. Hate to admit it, but...

...I'm reading Dan Brown's new book. I hate to be "one of the crowd" if not necessary, but I live in the DC area and the book's plot is set there. I decided to read it before it's spoiled for me.

[MaineDem]

I just got it on audiobook.

[Treo]

4. Mind candy

The Hobbit

[Arctic Dave]

5. National Fire Code and tech manuals. It's all work this week.

[Hardrada]

6. The Myth of the Twentieth Century (Alfred Rosenberg)

Have to see what the WN's think.

[WCGreen]

7. Just picked up Lorrie Moore's new book A Gate at the Stairs...

Just finished Richard Yates' Disturbing the Peace which, btw, I d ont recommend. Not nearly as riveting as Revolutionary Road.

[Tiggeroshii]

8. Kant's "Religion Within the Boundaries of Morality"

I just noticed this is in the fiction section. Um. my bad?

[hippywife]

9. People list whatever they are reading

regardless. Not like the question is being asked in non-fiction on a weekly basis. :hi:

[DUgosh]

12. Fiction or non-fiction... it's all good

Thanks for posting!

[Tiggeroshii]

15. I got that last part wrong.. it's Religion within the boundaries of mere reason

not morality lol. It's for a class on Kant i'm taking this quarter.

But yeah, no problem! =)

[hippywife]

10. Do you mean the 27th? ;0)

I'm reading The Hatbox Baby by Carrie Brown. Started it last night. Very good so far.

[DUgosh]

11. I did mean the week of the 27th

Sorry folks! I do love this weekly thread. Reading rocks! Fiction or non-fiction.

[hippywife]

13. I think we all enjoy it, too.

I get some great ideas reading through them. Thanx for doing it each week. :hi:

14. Graverobbers Wanted (No Experience Necessary) by Jeff Strand

[fadedrose]

16. BITCH CREEK by William G. Tapply

This one is fiction :)

About a guy who lost his memory when struck by lightening, who is rather good at solving crimes. Takes place in Maine - new serial character's name is Stonewall Jackson Calhoun.

Never heard of the author, but he has another series about a character named Brady Coyne, some other novels, and a lot of nonfiction about the outdoors for you nonfiction lovers..

I liked the book and will read more of Tapply's work..

And Calhoun has a dog ;) I am lucking out on books with guys with dogs, the last several have had dogs.

17. An Echo in the Bone, by Diana Gabaldon

Number 7 in the "Outlander" series.

[japple]

19. The last book in John Twelve Hawks' The Traveler trilogy:

The Golden City.

[hippywife]

20. Rope Walk by Carrie Brown.

I liked Hatbox Baby so I moved on to another of her books recommended by a friend.

The frustrating thing about Hatbox Baby is that it just stopped rather than had an ending. That was somewhat disconcerting.

A History of God by Karen Walker

The Terrifying Story of How Typhus Killed Napoleon's Greatest Army, by Stephan Talty

Not your usual war story and pretty intesting, especially if you find viruses interesting.

[Sequoia]

24. Wait....

Typhus is a bacteria.

[fadedrose]

25. DEATH ROE (2008) by Joseph Heywood

Not as good as the other Grady Service novels, but I like the characters..

[sueh]

26. The Story of Edgar Sawtelle by David Wroblewski

I can't put it down. Friday morning I found myself sneaking "a read" of several pages at 6:30 am before I made the bed.
