Thread: What are You Reading?

Thud by Terry pratchett. I have been reading discworld books for about 25 years I think. The characters are like old friends.

Anybody order a copy of Harper Lee's Go Set a Watchman? I read a review that said the characters are portrayed very differently than they were in To Kill a Mockingbird.

Don't know anything about it, but I'll betcha a nickel that it will an emblematic example of moving from the era where a book about race had to have a white 'hero' to the era where a book about race cannot have a white 'hero'.

The new book was actually written before To Kill a Mockingbird.

I just finish Captain Phil Harris: The Legendary Crab Fisherman, Our Hero, Our Dad [Josh Harris, Jake Harris, Blake Chavez, Steve Springer]
and I am starting to read North by Northwestern: A Seafaring Family on Deadly Alaskan Waters [Captain Sig Hansen, Mark Sundeen]

I got a new Kindle White Paper, I am not one to read books in one or two seatings , But I started reading the Capt. Phil Harris book on the 4th of July and finished it on 6th of July.

Just finished Count Zero by William Gibson. Not sure what's next. Probably The Martian or Seveneves.

Kindle fire here,love it,I read no less than 5 hrs/day.

Just finished a great read,The devils Teeth.
Have always been facinated with sharks.
This true story is about the Farrallon Island,a mere 30 miles from San Francisco.
Every Sept some of the worlds largest Great whites,(some over 20 Ft) come to feed on the seals and sea Lions.
Lots of blood and gore in this book.

MCilhennys Gold,the history of Tabasco sauce,a fun read
