Thread: What are You Reading?

I read the introduction on Obie book. One of the character's name is Mariette. This was the name of my high school girlfriend.
She dumped me my senior year for the Bojangles Chicken manager.

So how much time do you spend reading every day?Me,about 4hrs.

I spend about an initial 45 minutes with my morning coffee. If I am trying to avoid things like computer time or house cleaning, add an hour and a half to that. If it a book that is engrossing there isn't enough time in the day to finish it.

Typically one hour or so before bed for an "ok" book.
For a good book, any chance I get.

Just finished "The Summons" by John Grisham. A light and entertaining fiction book. Typical Grisham, which may be a good or bad thing for y'all.
Grisham falls under the mindless reading for me.

About 30 years ago my brother just finished school and had no money for gifts so at Christmas he put down 2 box's of books in front of my dad and I. Here is your present, alternate one each until they are gone he said. I din't have much money at that time either and I averaged a book a day for about 2 months!

Gentlemen,

Here is the link to a little blurb written by the editor of my novel Will's Music. Very kind of him to write it:

Will’s Music is Music to My Ears – FigloPress

I don't know if this will be my kind of book but I just ordered a copy.

Thanks, my friend. Will's Music is a love story set in the world of radio and dance. It is sweet and sentimental, which is the way love should be. It is also about friendship, and about road lost and found. So there is quite a bit in the book. People have told me it is a good read. I hope you like it.

I picked up Lock In the other day because I wanted something light and fluffy, and my school library had a copy on hand. I've been quite sucked in, and will probably finish it tomorrow. Also working on Absolute Zero: The Conquest of Cold. The writing is pretty bad, but it's an interesting book.

About 52% through pixel's fascinating recommendation of, "Vikings" and getting ready to head into Humphrey Hawksley, "The Third World War" - here is the synopis:

The novel portrays a world not unlike today, with various small-scale crises seemingly unconnected: bombastic threats from North Korea, Pakistan and India trading threats, and geopolitical competition between Russia, China and the United States.

As the novel goes on, several crises (Pakistan initiating a nuclear strike aimed at India, a rogue North Korean general announcing that he has biological weapons and many other threats), that are at first seen as containable regional problems, suddenly each get more serious, and connections between them appear ever more vivid.

Eventually, these seemingly small-scale crises begin to overlap and snowball, triggering a nightmarish World War III scenario involving nuclear and biological weapons, the world leaders powerless to put a halt to the growing insanity.
