Reading for the xxx time John Steinbeck`s Tortilla Flat. An all time classic. Steinbeck tell us all in a truly sublime and wonderful way how the daily life of a few poor and "wine-loving" loafers living their life in a small, poor part of Monterey, California, "Tortilla Flat". Steinbeck`s pen is so warm, real, knowing, fun, sad and loving that this book is on my top 5 list of all of my 35 years of reading. A must read
The Raw and the Cooked, in honor of Claude Lévi-Strauss's death just a few days ago at 100 years old. A titan.
Just started reading Rain Fall by Barry Eisler. It's the first in a series of books about an asian american assassin. So far he is into good scotch.

+1. Steinbeck is one of my favorite writes. I have Tortilla Flat on my shelf, but haven't read it yet. Maybe I'll go for that one next.
Crush Depth by Joe Buff
I stumbled across the book at a flea market. Being an old submariner it piqued my interest. So far it has been a fetching read. Much better than I anticipated.

I am listening to the Harry Potter audiobook series. I am a few chapters away from finishing bok five and then it is on to book six for me.
I HATE Steinbeck, but I almost enjoyed this light-hearted book about my home town.
Natures Metropolis by William Cronon. Its a great read a blend of environmental history, economic history and urban history which is highly readable. Anyone from the Mid West or who has an appreciation of well written history should pick it up.I am currently reading for my oral examination in history so I have been busy and will continue to be until Dec. 2. Keep plugging away right...
Can't seem to get enough Tintin these days!
