Just finished with Lonesome Dove. Great adventure and characters but I didn't like the ending.
Started on Seveneves by Neal Stephenson. I'm a big fan of Neal so I'm looking forward to this one.

I finished reading Charles Bukowski:Laughing with the Gods by Fernanda Pivano.
Hmmm. Judging by my post in this thread on Nov. 16, 2016, I liked the latest Reacher book a lot. I cannot remember it at all at this point, other than it seemed satisfying and I thought the plot was well-done. I am usually sensitive to and complaining as to overly deus ex machine (I seem to be prevented from spelling this correctly!) plots. I cannot say I read the Reacher books all that closely.
I have more thought that the earliest of the Reacher books were uneven, and they have gotten better over time.
I completely agree that the co-authoring, etc. seems cheap and does not generally lead to good work.

How is it? I am surprised that Bukowski does not come up more often in this thread. I guess I have come to think of Bukowski's own work as a guilty pleasure, at best. Of course, I have not really read his poetry, more the novels. I do not think that anyone is going to look to me for a judgment from me about the quality of any poet's work.
Basically a jerk of a human being. I think there was a time when culturally we found raving alcoholics more amusing than we find them now. Again, I have not really explored his poetry.
Reading 3 Right now
-Zondervan NIV Archaeological Study Bible. Doing this as my yearly for 2017 (and probably 2018)
-Helping Your Child with Extreme Picky Eating. This is supposed to be the difinitive guide for parents whose children have feeding disorders of any type.
-Speed re-reading Prince Lestat so I can remember what happened and who all of the players were before moving on to the new Realms of Atlantis book.

Finders Keepers...Stephen King
These are two interviews with Bukowski from the eighties. And a few notes about the works of Bukowski. All very interesting, especially for fans of this writer [emoji106]

I know the story by heart, but this is another telling I decided to check out.

Having finished The Crystal Shard, I'm on to Streams of Silver. So far, so good.
Ahh, the nostalgia.... Those were fun books.
I started the Last Ship by William Brinkley, which inspired the TV show.
I just started Dune. I'm excited and intimidated.
I find it amusing that 1984 has taken off to the top of the Amazon best seller list.
Working my way through the collected complete works of HP Lovecraft, a holiday gift from a friend of mine.
Just started reading this - a reproduction of Coppola's notebook for creating The Godfather. He made a 700-odd page binder, using pages from the original novel, on which he made notes. He also typed out synopsis, tone and theme ideas at the top of each "scene". Fascinating. If you love the film (and I sure do) it is heavenly.
You are a lucky guy, and you should be both. Great book. Not a great series, IMHO.
