AWOL on the Appalachian Trail by David Miller (2006).
Post office by Bukowski (for 3rd time)
Mark Sanford gives it two thumbs up.great book!
An excellent novel. One has to mention it together with Brave New World and 1984. I read it a few years ago from the library in German. Does it read well in English?
Infinite Powers, by Steve Strogatz. It's an overview of the reasoning behind calculus. Pretty good, but speaking as a non-mathematician, some of the introductory concepts seems obvious.
I need to get back to reading Bukowski!
My dad worked with Bukowski at Terminal Annex in the early 50s. Never accompanied him to the track though.

Don't leave us hanging!
What did your Dad have to say about what he was like? Bukowski seems like the kind of guy one might like to meet, but I sure would not want to be married to him, or even, say, have to moderate on B&B!
So far it is pretty good.
If I had anything of interest I'd share , but my Dad and Bukowski were polar opposites so didn't hang in the same circles. I get a kick out of knowing they were there together though.Don't leave us hanging!

I understand and agree that that is pretty darn cool!
I do have the impression that Bukowski must have looked pretty rough some mornings, even from afar!

I thoroughly enjoyed The Institute by Stephen King and have now moved on to The Intuitionist by Colson Whitehead.

A few chapters into "The Bourne Ultimatum," by Robert Ludlum.
Good books! I read while on the treadmill.
I like reading on the treadmill also...it's where I read most of my fiction. I can sink into the entertainment and forget about the monotony of what I'm doing until it's over, and the time seems to fly by. Other kinds of books are not so amenable...I like to take notes, underling sections, include marginal thoughts, and so forth, and a treadmill makes that a non-starter for most non-fiction for me.
