What are you reading?

[citiesxlfan42 27]

I'm halfway through "The Last Jihad", by Joel C. Rosenberg. It has to do with war on terrorism, how God could come back, and did I mention TONS of action!? It's a good book.

[blade2k5 1,523]

Finished the Butlerian Jihad yesterday and read the first 150 pages of the Machine Crusade...man these books are good.

Easy Bakes, thats how I get everything Im reading. The local libraries sell off overstocked or out-of-date books, and you get excellent bargains. Hardcovers are a dollar, paperbacks are 50 cents.

Dang you read fast.

Just finished The Dart League King by Keith Lee Morris. Not a bad read if you can get past the fact that every other word is either F or GD. The last few pages were especially emotional.

That I do.  I have speed reading skills, though I don't skim through pages as fast as advertised three decades ago when speed reading was the 'in' thing.  It was actually part of our English curriculum when I was in Jr. High School.  Give me a good and interesting book to read and I'll pour through it in no time.  If the book is a bore, it'll take longer to read, if I finish it at all.

Its been a while since I didnt finish a book because it was bad.

but iv hit a snag today Sundiver by David Brin  was lost in The Great Car Flooding of 2009. ( as were my Mapsco's)

My car was semi flooded, last night there huge storms and were i was parked last night i guess got high enough  that water got in thru the bottom of the doors since the windows and doors were  all shut tight. if had been siting on the seat

it would have survived but it was on the floor.

Curently looking for another copy to finish it.I think they had 2 copys at the last 1/2 price i was at, ill have to check tomorrow.

[blade2k5 1,523]

Slowed the pace down a bit on The Battle Of Corrin [only about 100 pages in], as I am still awaiting for House Atreides to come, House Harkonnen came in a couple of weeks ago, but there's a hang-up on the other.  So, the book store re-ordered it along with Sandworms Of Dune and Hunters Of Dune.  I also forgot to order House Corrino, so I'll order that one when the other 3 come in.

[Easy Bakes 253]

Found another copy of Sundiver. always go to the main store of 1/2 price books, the location on NW Hiway is HUGE 

about 1/2 way thru now.

Still working thru Green Mars too.

Moved on to Armored Cav, the fourth Clancy title I've read in the last two months.

[Easy Bakes 253]

Finish Sundiver by David Brin moving on to its sequel, Startide Rising the 2nd book in The  "Uplift" Series.

I highly recommend this series.

Finally my three newest Dune novels arrived on Thursday, House Atreides, Hunters Of Dune and Sandworms Of Dune.  I finished reading The Battle For Corrin on Tuesday and it was a revealing climatic end to the more than 2000 page trilogy.  A nice set-up for the events to follow 11k years later in Dune.  Started reading Hunters as soon as I got home from picking it up at the bookstore, and I'm now 200 pages in.  Pages 118 & 119 confirmed my suspicions on who the "Enemy" is.

Great book, I wish I hadn't lost my copy of it.

Does Calvin and Hobbes count? I've become addicted. I've always liked the books but in the past couple of weeks I've been reading them every night before I go to sleep. I also just bought two more books, so I'll have enough to read

Of course it counts. other wise my Bloom County books wouldnt have counted.

If you cant laugh you might as welll be dead.

[blade2k5 1,523]

I finished reading Hunters Of Dune late last night and now 65 pages into Sandworms Of Dune.  Amazing how the time-frame that covers the Dune Chronicles, beginning with The Butlerian Jihad and ending with Sandworms spans more than 15,000 years [Aprox 28,000 AD]. 

I have waited and planned and built my strength for fifteen thousand years.  I have evolved.  It is time.
