What Are You Reading?

[Haggises]

Finally finished Against All Things Ending by Stephen Donaldson.
Only one more to go, then I think it's time for a Discworld reprise.

 

[The Knize]

I agree that Hemingway has probably proven to be more influential in the long run, though no one writes like Faulkner could. Cormac McCarthy strikes me as more in the Faulkner vein, and once I settled into his style, I was amazed. To this day, All the Pretty Horses remains one of my all-time favorites. I even did a couple of re-reads, which is rare for me.

You may be right that no one can really write like Faulkner. I really like Cormac McCarthy. I can see the Faulkner influence on him.

I have just finished rereading one of my favorites: Man's Fate by Andre Malraux. This book has an interesting plot line, he was a great thinker though on the opposite of the political spectrum from me.

Killing Pablo by Mark Bowden. Fascinating.

I found the original three books in that series back in the 70s in paperback. I have them all, the rest in hardback. I've read and reread them over the years. I found that last book a bit disappointing but liked the closure.

I have read several or Neal Peart's books. After his passing and a one week morning period of wearing a Rush shirt every for 8 days, I ordered Traveling music. It was back ordered and shipped yesterday.

Finished Agatha Christie and I now tackle one of my bucket list books, Moby Dick.

It is wordy but good, IMO. You really get a feel as to the amount of work that was involved in whaling, too.

<Moby Dick>

I admire your ambition! Lots of symbolism. A deep part of our literature, may be of our culture.

It has long been on my must read list, but I have been excited to read it for several months now. I just know the time is right.

The Crucified God - Jurgen Moltmann

 

[MaineYooper]

I have read several or Neal Peart's books. After his passing and a one week morning period of wearing a Rush shirt every for 8 days, I ordered Traveling music. It was back ordered and shipped yesterday.

I read Roadshow and The Masked Rider. Now re-reading Ghost Rider. I have been listening to only Rush lately, just enjoying the music and the drumming.

B&B mostly!

Just downloaded Deadliest Enemy by Michael Osterholm. It's about diseases and epidemics, and how they work. Seems timely.

One of my all time favourites.

I read Roadshow and The Masked Rider. Now re-reading Ghost Rider. I have been listening to only Rush lately, just enjoying the music and the drumming.

So the Traveling music that was back ordered showed up yesterday just in time that we may stay home and have nothing to do. I was excited to open it and it was The Masked rider. WTH I already read this book. I've been waiting since January for Traveling Music. Let's see what The Rush Backstage club does to remedy this.

One of my all time favourites.

very good so far. I am having the same experience I always have when picking up Dickens, needing to adjust my familiarity with the English language. Those cats say the same things we do in an entirely different way.

 

[Buster]

Thinking in Picture, by Temple Grandin. My son had her sign the book when he went to a field day for 4-H and FFA.

 

[witeq]

Midnight in Chernobyl:The Untold Story of the World's Greatest Nuclear Disaster by Adam Higginbotham.

 

[Chevy Novacaine]

Finished Joe Hill's The Fireman last week (meh) and currently reading Robopocalypse by Daniel H. Wilson.
