What are you currently reading?

Yes....... I liked it. Ultima is a little harder to wrap my head around, but I’m working my way thru it. I’ve only read about 100 pages so far.

 

It's a difficult book for me right now, but I am looking at 'The Revolution of Everyday Life' by Raoul Vaneigem.

 

my dad taught me how to read with walden when i was four years old. i know that must sound wild.

anywhom, i seem to have stumbled upon possession, and am currently reading,
of a (nearly) origeonal (early 60s) printing of bradburry's cities in flight.

 

"The Hunt for Red October". Almost finished. The ending 1/3 of the book seems a bit different than the movie.

Tom Clancy was a gifted story teller. Made a bundle of bucks.

 

"Presidents of War" The Epic Story from 1807 to Modern Times; by Michael Beschloss. along with a couple of simpler books on my kindle

 

actually i meant bliss. no idea how i got him confuzeled with bradburry.
and a lot of his ideas were b.s. even at the time it was written.

still its one a lot of people have borrowed a lot of ideas from since.

my biggest critique is the idea that cities can feed themselves,
or that rural areas suffer any more of a knowledge famine for the average person living in them, then urban ones do.
(the reverse is the case in real life, more often then not)
(and again the 'all human' universe is always a 'howler' to me, even one with only one living e.t. culture would be)

 

John Sanford who wrote "Escape Clause". Sort of funny police story about kidnaping amurs tigers.

 

A collection of Chekhov short stories

 

A biography of the painter Marc Chagall.

 

I like how you specified "the painter".

Oh THAT Marc Chagall.

 

Well most have never heard of him, so I like to give peeps a clue.

 

The lovely bones by alice sebold
Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel García Márquez

 

I read Love in the Time of Cholera a very long time ago. I don't remember it too well but I do remember it was very good. Marquez is a terrific writer.

 

I agree! Have read all of his stuff in Spanish. Will try to get round to English translation copies. Right now I'm reading In Extremis The Life of War Correspondent Marie Colvin by Lindsey Hilsum

 

yes he is I love all of his book growing up in a very strict home his books where on the ok to read list.

 

Oh. Some strict people find magic realism a little contentious?

 

I just finished: My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She's Sorry

Came highly recommended by a friend. I liked it, but did not love it.

 

1984
