I'm reading Life After Life by Kate Atkinson

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0316176494?ie=UTF8&at=&force-full-site=1&ref_=aw_bottom_links

Picked the hardcover up for $6 off of the remainder table at Meijer. It's kind of confusing and slow at first, it doesn't hold your hand at all, it throws you into the weird concept without explanation and there are lots of names to remember, but once you get your footing it gets interesting. I'm only a little over halfway through, so not sure where she's going with this, but it's something different at least.

Reading the Touchstone trilogy by Andrea K. Höst... it's young adult, but very engaging.

Dngrsone · Dec 24, 2014

Höst wrote a fourth book, appropriately titled Gratuitous Epilogue, which I am powering through.

I'll have to go back through this thread and see how much I've read through the year... more than a couple books, to be sure.

Now reading Brunelleschi's Dome, which outlines the building of the monumental dome which dominated the skyline of the Italian city of Florence since the fifteenth century.

Start of a new year, and I have already finished a book: 41 by George W. Bush.

This is a biography of the 41st President of the United States as seen through the (in his own words, biased) eyes of his son, who happened to be the 43rd President.

This book is not about politics, though it's unavoidable in such a work. Rather, it's a bit of bragging from "W" about the accomplishments of his dad, who wouldn't do so.

It is an engaging read, and an interesting snapshot of a President's life from a unique viewpoint.

Where there's smoke by Jodi Picoult

Gmash · Jan 9, 2015

I'm about halfway through Horns by Joe Hill. Really like it so far, hope the ending doesn't suck.

I'm reading Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn trilogy now. After that, there are a couple non-fic books in my TBR pile. We'll see...

Don't forget Alloy of Law. It's a stand alone set in mist born world, hundreds of years after the Trilogy

Just spent an hour and a half driving around a parking lot... good thing I got to the college two hours early.

on man I know that pain its the same were I but after you park you normally have to walk about a mile to get to your class

Been there, done that. When I was stationed aboard an aircraft carrier and the ship was in the yards for maintenance, we had to park a mile and a half away, then walk across the shipyards to work. Of course it was winter, and we were stumbling through ice and snow at ungodly hours of the morning...

I'd do the same at the college. but I have to get my daughter from one school to another one and we've no time in between, so a ten minute walk after class will result in her being too late for the next class.

I have a couple Jack Reacher books left, but I'm taking a break to read my English Professors first book: http://www.amazon.com/Purple-Heart-Detective-Agency-ebook/dp/B00SNBQIVI

This guy was always hilarious so when he called me and asked for help setting up his wordpress site I was super excited. And I of course asked for an advance copy, lol.

Started reading James Patterson's "A Hope to Die" featuring Alex Cross.

Little over halfway through and definitely a well spent $20 thus far.

Dngrsone · Jan 29, 2015

I am reading Mary Wollstonecraft's Vindication of the Rights of Woman... too long by far.

jbenham · Jan 30, 2015

Currently reading The Skin Collector by Jeffery Deavers. Has anyone read it? I have a spoiler question if you have.

DragonSlayer95 · Feb 3, 2015

"Cross My Heart" also wrote by James Patterson seems to have slipped by me. Came out before "A Hope to Die" (just recently finished and awesome novel btw).

That's next on my to do list.

Dngrsone · Mar 18, 2015

Just finished reading Bones Burnt Black by Stephen Euin Cobb... Hard Scifi, great drama, compelling read. I think the ending could have been done a little better, but overall I enjoyed the book and will read another of his.

I saw this list and discovered that I have read 56 out of the hundred. I have a couple more in my possession, and there are some I will never read, but there is an unspoken contest between me and my friend over who will read the most. She's two up on me at the moment...

The last book I read was All The Names by Jose Saramago.

https://www.nytimes.com/books/00/10/15/reviews/001015.15irwint.html

Really weird book, could only have been written by an old man. A young person doesn't have the insights into humanity to write a book like this. I took it as a book about a guy who went crazy from loneliness, but I could be wrong.

Dngrsone · Mar 19, 2015

Reading the latest/greatest electronic version of LoTR...

NightAngel79 · Jun 13, 2015

Bit of a shameless plug, but I'm reading my recently published English Professors first book. It's a gritty detective story with some great violence.

I also designed the Wordpress site (i know, wordpress, lol, I didnt do much)

Tenth of December by George Saunders

www.amazon.com/Tenth-December-Stories-George-Saunders/dp/0812993802/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&sr=&qid=

Really good, really dark, weird and trippy book of short stories.

starkraving · Jun 15, 2015

Just started the Wheel of Time again from the beginning. Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson, its a very long series...but its pretty amazing.

dontpanicbobby · Jun 15, 2015

I'm reading the Ring of Fire Series by Eric Flint.

Dngrsone · Jun 15, 2015

I'm Reading The Mermaid's Sister by Carrie Anne Noble. I think this is book number 43 for the year.
