What are you reading right now (II)?

[bamapride79]

Just finished "The Innocent" by Harlan Coben. Its the my first time reading him and it was pretty good. Now I'm about to start the LOTR series....

 

[bamapeppy]

Picked it up yesterday. I have read several other books by Anthony Bourdain. If you haven't read anything by him give him a try. He has a natural wit about him I really enjoy and the pages come across like he was talking directly to you telling the story.

*The Pale Horseman by Bernard Cornwell

*Drive to the East (Settling Accounts Trilogy, Book 2) by Harry Turtledove

[Boclive]

Currently reading

My eyesight, at least the ability to read text, continues to degenerate.

[bama579]

"Collapse: How societies fail or succeed " by Jared Diamond.

Same fellow who wrote "Guns, germs, and steel."

It's sort of lengthy. Looks at societies on Easter Island, the Maya, Greenland, southwestern U.S (Anasazi, etc) among others.

 

[Ldlane]

Currently in the middle of A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith.

I've just finished The Memory of Running by Ron McLarty. I picked it up in the library, knowing nothing about it, and it was a surprisingly enjoyable story.

 

[Boclive]

About halfway through. I'm loving it.

The House of Intellect by Jacques Barzun

I've got a great old copy of that book on my shelf. I love that dude. The Culture They Deserve is probably my favorite collection of his.


Right now I'm reading The Missing Ring, sorta how I ended up over here, and it's kinda making my bood boil.
