 bignosemousie says: Clippers, what books are you reading right now? What was the last book you read? I'm reading Brigitte Gabriel's Because They Hate. And before this book: Apples for Jam by Tessa Kiros (a cookbook, the broccoli soup is great!). Does anyone else read cookbooks cover to cover like a novel? Tori Spelling's sTORI Telling. Khaled Hosseini's A Thousand Splendid Suns. Next on the list is The Kite Runner, by Hosseini, unless I get a good recommendation here. I have been rereading the John Carter of Mars series by Edgar Rice Burroughs. Its taking me longer because my eyes are not what they used to be. I get headaches if I read too long, even with my reading glasses. After I finish the series, next up is ERB - Tarzan I'm not reading anything, but I have at least four different podiobooks I am listening to. Mousie....read the Kite Runner!!!! It's the best secular book I've read in years. I read it before A Thousand Splendid Suns. They are both haunting. I'm into audio books. (what's podiobooks? on an ipod?) Currently I'm listening to The Ezekiel Option by Joel Rosenberg. I only do cookbooks with pictures. :~) Skwirl, maybe you should check out audio books. My library carries them. Do you have a library out where you live? Jatfla, let me know how you like The Ezekiel Option. I liked Rosenberg's Epicenter. n2, which books are you listening to? Just started "Lincoln - a foreigner's quest" by Jan Morris. Just finished "The Shack" by William P Young. Next in line, "Where is God when it hurts" by Philip Yancey and "Lincoln" by David H Donald. Can't wait to see what others are reading. Good one Mousie! Skwirl, maybe you should check out audio books. My library carries them. Do you have a library out where you live?I have about 2 gb of audio scifi on my pc right now. I also read scifi on my pc and my library is about 16gb. I am drawn to my books like old friends. Nothing beats dead wood! Sorry, about your question, yes we have a huge county seat library just 1 mile up the road. My family are regulars there. I'm into audio books. (what's podiobooks? on an ipod?)Basically it is an audio book released as a podcast. They are usually weekly, bi-weekly or monthly. I'm not that patient so I frequently wait until they are finished so I can listen to them at my own pace. There are some I listen to as they come out though. It is almost like a step back in time to serialized radio shows where you have to wait until next week to see what happens to the hero. I am currently listening to both of Scott Sigler's active podcasts. Nocturnal is his work in progress, and Infected just hit the book stores on April 1st. Not only is he podcasting a novel that i... 1. Nuclear Launch Protocol and Command Codes for Single-Person Authorization Via Non-Secure Civilian Communication Systems 2. Shut Up, Stop Whining, and Get a Life: A Kick-Butt Approach to a Better Life 3. Rejected Chicken Soup for the Soul 4. Christian Domestic Discipline 101 5. More Joy....:An Advanced Guide to Solo Sex 6. Supercharging Quantum -Touch 7. Scientific Reasons a Zombie Apocalypse Could Actually Happen 8. MAN-Booking: A Guy's Guide to Scrapbooking 9. Paracelsus's homunculi and Asimov's robots: the laboratory ethics of personhood and artificial life in medieval and modern thought 10. The Chronicles of Narnia Doesn't appear that alanocu gets in a rut with his reading! Nuclear Launch Protocol and Command Codes for Single-Person Authorization Via Non-Secure Civilian Communication SystemsGood grief! I don't even understand the title - but I'm impresses.   mines all here http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/336620 And mine are here www.goodreads.com/review/list/863801 Thanks again tidbit for putting me on to this wonderful, friendly and absorbing site by and for booklovers. Just started: "In Praise of the Crone: A Celebration of Feminine Maturity" by Dorothy Morrison Last read: "The Last Juror" by John Grissom wicca, In Praise of the Crone is good. My son gave it to me for my 40 something birthday a few years ago. I just finished reading A Tree Grows In Brooklyn by Betty Smith. I don't know what I'm going to read next, I have about 5 bookcases of books. Most I've read and a few I haven't. I loved "The Last Juror"!! The man who read it on audio brought it to life. Skwirl said: I am drawn to my books like old friends. Nothing beats dead wood!Me too. I love the weight of a book in my hand. @Alan: Man-booking made me laugh. Men need their own word for scrapbooking? LOL. The Zombie Apocalypse book sounds good too. Thanks for everyone's participation. I enjoy reading these comments. all of the titles I listed, except for Narnia are fake  Bah, no wonder I couldn't find More Joy....:An Advanced Guide to Solo Sex anywhere. I would probably be borderline lunatic if I actually were reading some of those "books". Awww, I thought you seemed rather amazing, Alan. What varied interests! What broad horizons! I'm sure you are amazing, even without these books on your bedside table. You had me fooled!  Just finished reading Here I Stand few days ago. I'm on break right now. BTW, I'm not into telling the whole world what I have read or will be reading, this is akin to making the Big Brother's work easy, the libraries have done enough to protect us from such tactics hence I'm no fan of those new websites which provides such services. BTW, I'm not into telling the whole world what I have read or will be reading,Thanks for telling us at Clipmarks, Arifsali. I seem to recall Spong being mentioned on CM before. I'll have to check it out. Thanks. The Audacity of Hope - Obama Liberal Fascism - Goldberg mine are all here at chainreading.com Wonderful, Deepti. I mean your books and the site. I just finished Hamilton's The Void Trilogy - The Dreaming Void and I started on Asimov's The Best of Isaac Asimov, which which I am close to finishing too. I think I'll revisit Arthur C. Clarke after that , in his memory. Nothing just finished the Hitchhikers Guide trilogy of 5 books. I really want Iliad, or a good story on King Arthur next and I want to get a new Murakami novel. number 5 on Alans list sounds funny, is that a real book? Hitchhikers Guide trilogy of 5 booksTrilogy of 5 books - LOL I read that a few years ago for the second time. Adams has a way of staying funny even after repeated readings. I liked the Resturant at the End of the Universe the most. Thanx for reviving my memory. I think I will reread it again. BTW, I have many online book sources clipped in my literature collection. 99% of them are free. I think the Iliad is there on a couple of them. Thanks skwirl, i have a E-book version of iliad, but i vowed (people just dont Vow anymore) never to read a book off my Pc screen again, i read 5 books of robert Jordans Wheel of time, and had a sore bad back and sore eyes. And printing the book will just kill me to waste that amount of paper and ink. Not the End of the World - Christopher Brookmyre @Deepti, I liked The Handmaid's Tale. Have you read The Red Tent? I'm reading Witches, Druids and King Arthur by Ronald Hutton and Divine Horsemen: The Living Gods of Haiti by Maya Deren. Cairo: City of Sand by Maria Golia and Doria Shafik: Egyptian Feminist - A Woman Apart by Cynthia Nelson A year from now we will have a record of everything we were reading right now. Fun. A year from now we will have a record of everything we were reading right now. Fun.That was one of the main reasons behind my joining chainreading. I will definitely check out the book you mentioned. I love it when people recommend books they liked. I'm totally loving this clip!  Tai-Pan by James Clavell is actually one I am re-reading. All sociopaths raise your hands if you read catcher in the rye. All sociopaths raise your hands if you read catcher in the rye.What if the government is reading this? I am reading "The Gift of Therapy:An Open Letter to a New Generation of Therapists and Their Patients" by Irvin Yalom. http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/897159 tidbit2,thx again for goodreads Right Now - I'm reading Clipmarks @N2Sooners - funny that you're a Scott Sigler fan! My wife, sister-in-law, and I all listened to Ancestor on the drive to and from Virginia a little over a year ago. When we started they were totally not into it, but by the end they had to know what was going to happen! Right now I'm trying to read comments on my page but I'm getting errors. Since you asked... Once upon a time I was an avid reader. So much so a librarian asked me (and my friend) "Do you guys really read the book or just take one and return it next day?" LOL! Now I hardly have the time nor the patience to complete a book. But I did read a book and complete it yesterday : Indian Summers" by John Wright narrating Wright's (A New Zealander) experience in coaching the Indian national cricket team for about 4 yrs. Engrossing! btw, on egood place to exchange read lists and reviews is shelfari.com "Do you guys really read the book or just take one and return it next day?"haha. The Librarian must have thought you had another agenda at the library. |
