The movie was intense. I'm sure the book will be all the more so...

"Liberty's Secrets" by Joshua Charles. Clever title as there are no "Secrets" within, only important information that may be mostly overlooked or forgotten by many of today's, and even yesterday's, generation. Highly recommended.

Tonight I'll start reading, " Cobras In His Garden" by Harry Kursh. The biography of William E. Haast. Know as Bill Haast of the Miami Serpentarium. I just watched, 3 weeks ago, a home video of him milking a King Cobra & his assistant placed a large black snake around my neck, I was 5 years old.

Cormac McCarthy is one of my favorite authors. I've read everything he has written and will probably read them again. Originally Posted by JoeSomebody

"Maybe I'm dead," Valdez said. "Am I dead?" He could see the children of Diego Luz behind their father, in the doorway.
"You looked near to it. Somebody stabbed you in the back."
"No, a tree did that."
Diego Luz nodded. "A tree. What kind of tree is it does that?"
Elmore Leonard
Valdez Is Coming
I'm pretty happy when I find a good Western. I've read a lot of Elmore Leonard but this is the first Western. Atta boy cowboy!"Call me Ishmael"

I've been on an Isaac Asimov kick lately, before that it was a Philip K Dick kcik. I got on the Hitchhiker's Guide (Douglas Adams) series, and the Dark Tower Series (Stephen King). I just finished 2001: A Space Odyssey.
More to the point I listened to them. I usually do Audible on my way to and from work. It takes me a long time to read a book and I rarely have the time to sit and read, except for the 2+ hours of commute a day.NewellVW likes this.

I think if you read his other novels you will get the same feeling. Different place, different time, his writing feels authentic. Makes me wonder how he prepared for his writing: through research, boots on the ground...? Originally Posted by jgjgjg

I'm currently reading The Devil's Dictionary, Tales, and Memoirs by Ambrose Bierce. Fun stuff.
