I've been trying to get through A Light in August by Faulkner but with work and weekends exploring Boston, I haven't gone through 10 pages since November.
Re-reading a book called "CREEKER" by Linda Scott DeRosier mainly because I knew everyone mentioned in the book plus dated the author's sister. Brings back a lot of memories in her autobiography and gives an accurate account of growing up in Eastern KY, better times but she tells it like it was and names names.
Some old book printed in 1932 about Colonial furniture, clothing, belongings. Interesting in that it shows how common folks clothing changed over the years as they delt with their local situation in America - though Europe always had a strong influence on fashion.
I like how Cliff Notes advertises on this thread. :)
I can never read just one book at a time. Strange habit of mine, but I'm usually listening to one audiobook a week on my commute and 3-4 other paper books when the mood strikes me for either brain food or escape.
Just bought Cormic McCarthy's The Road on CD, so I'll be listening to that on the way to and from work for the next week or two.
Body Mind Mastery by Dan Millman (about 50 pages in, good, but not equal to some of his other stuff)
The Science of Happiness by Stefan Klein (first chapter, fair to good)
Sport Psychology for Cyclists by Saul Miller & Peggy Maass Hill (about 1/3 in, work related and fair to good)
Patriots by James Wesley Rawles (stuck at about 60 pages in and may not pick it up again. Difficult to read, too much ultraconservative Christianity, and way too much misogyny).
Survive! by Les Stroud (just purchased and next on my list to start)
The Resiliency Advantage by Al Siebert (just started)
98.6 Degrees by Cody Lundin (about 1/3-1/2 in, good, however, it's written for someone without basic knowledge that I gained years ago reading Bradford Angier and Tom Brown. It's also oriented toward a younger generation and I find some of his graphics and style distracting)
I'm with Endurance, I always have several books and magazines going. Currently:
The Shack - just past the part about his daughter's abduction, which really twisted me up. Now onto the healing...
The latest American Rifleman magazine.
Ice Limit (Lincoln Childs)
Quantico (Bear)
The Spring 2009 Park Seed Catalog!
Silent America (Whittle) a book of his essays.
Beyond Fear (Bruce Schneier)
Recently re-read Atlas Shrugged (Rand) which now reads like current events.
Just finished Blood Meridian (Cormac McCarthy) now ready for The Road!
Just finished "Collapse" after reading Diamond's "Guns, Germs & Steel" (which I swiped from my Dear Li'l Brother, dean o' peace studies). Good reads both, though I think he tends to become just a wee bit over-enamoured of his own notions and misses things.Quote:

Money is about the last thing I care about, but I'll read anything Phillips writes. And re-reading Joseph Campbell's "The Hero With A Thousand Faces". Read it once some many decades back, and decided to slog through it again.

I am currently reading Eyes of Eagle by William Johnstone its a great series
Interpreting our Heritage
Am currently reading Tony Hillerman novel The Fallen Man. It is a very good story about navajo cops in New mexico, although in one section he writes that the Indian lieutenant takes the safety off his .38 revolver, which of course is inaccurate. if you discount these errors, it is a good mystery.
Unless he has one of the "NEW" S&W :fuk2: and uses the key.Quote:
