Re: What Are You Reading?
Greetings and Happy Fourth....
Perhaps the day reminds me, but I have been meaning to for some time. I need a suggestion for a non-fiction account of the Revolutionary War. I read mostly novels but get off the wagon occasionally for the "non". I do not do well with tedious or text book style research material. If you have a recommendation. I would thank you in advance for your suggestion!

Re: What Are You Reading?
recently read chuck palahniuk's Diary, Pygmy and Survivor.
also finally finished reading the first Game of Thrones book . . about 100 pages into the Godfather .. amazing how the movie is exactly like the book. puzo doesnt get enough credit for being the creator/mind behind the story, all coppolla had to do was follow the book exactly. it is a really good read. found it at my parent's house. the edition is probably 40+ years old, yellow brittle pages and failing apart.

Re: What Are You Reading?
I just started reading Doctor Sleep, Stephen King's sequel to The Shining, and I have to admit that the first couple of chapters really freaked me. I'm not sure how much I'll like the book, but that was a pretty good start.

Re: What Are You Reading?
has anybody read the divergent series?
my lady is starting the 3rd book and im tempted to start reading the 1st one - divergent. im currently reading 2 other books but i havent read a kinda sci-fi-ish book in a long time (since the harry potter series). i think i would like to read a book not based on the real world parameters. |

Re: What Are You Reading?
"I am Abraham"
It is a first person account of Abe's life. Written in a sometime......disturbing manner. But pretty good. Many things I was unaware in the life of AL.
