So what are you reading?

[LazerFlash]

MAD Magazine.

Funny thing is, I've been working my way through "Oy!: The Ultimate Book of Jewish Jokes" for more than a year, now.

I've been reading articles on home recording studio techniques. Much of it is way over my head but I am picking up some good tips I hope.

I'm trying to get started on World War Z http://www.amazon.com/World-War-Oral.../dp/B000IJ7IE4 since it's due to be released as a movie soon. Starring Brad Pitt no less. But it's starting off slow, or I'm just distracted, I'm not sure which.

I just started A Storm of Swords

I'm about a quarter of the way through Life of Pi and it is bizarre! But I recently finished Wild by Cheryl Strayed, and that was the best book I've read in at least a few years.

What is the Book Club reading?

Animal theme this month: A Dog's Purpose by W. Bruce Cameron and Homer's Odyssey by Gwen Cooper

[Library Lady]

The Lost Years by Mary Higgins Clark.

Reading Unwind by Neil Shusterman. It's a YA book. Interesting twist on the abortion issues.

I'm currently about halfway through "Shatner Rules: Your Guide to Understanding the Shatnerverse and the World at Large"...

On the surface, it would seem that this book would only appeal to people who already know and adore William Shatner. However, it opens up a window into the life and philosophy of Bill Shatner, a man few know exists and even fewer know well. If you read this irreverent poke in the eye of life - and take only one thing away from it - it is Shatner's truly inspired message: Say "yes". The over-riding philosophy in Shatner's life has been to say "yes" to all of life's opportunities *and* challenges. Many times in his career, it has made him appear clownish. And, whether you like him or not, you'll have to agree that all of his choices in life have made him both successful and one of the most iconic characters of our time. All because he has said "yes" more often than "no".

Carole King, "A Natural Woman: A Memoir." Heard Ms. King (Klein) interviewed on NPR and snagged the Kindle version soon thereafter.

[LazerFlash]

Just finished "Rescuing Sprite: A Dog Lover's Story of Joy and Anguish", by Mark Levin. (Who, it turns out I actually knew back in the 1990's, when we attended the same synagogue.)

Currently back to SciFi with "Star Wars: Red Harvest", by Joe Schreiber. It's a prequel of sorts to "Star Wars: Death Troopers". Both seek to combine the Star Wars universe with the recent zombie craze.

The Hummingbird's Daughter by L. Urrea. excellent reading - based on the life of his grandmother (great grandmother?) in Mexico. Kind of written in the style of Gabriel Marquez, Love in the Time of Cholera and 100 Years of Solitude.

"Don't Forget To Write," by Pam Hobbs. A memoir of a child evacuated during World War 2 from her home in London.

[Willis]

Suspense, murder mysteries by John Sanford, David Baldacci and Jeffrey Deaver

FINALLY reading The Fellowship of the Ring. I know. I know. Should have done already.

FINALLY reading The Fellowship of the Ring. I know. I know. Should have done already.

I don't know if I can be married to you any more. In fact given this I'm not sure our marriage was ever legally valid to begin with. There are RULES, kkrapf.

Like Willis, I'm a "suspense, murder mystery” reader for my light reading. I'm just finishing Rex Stout's "The Black Mountain," and getting ready to start David Baldacci’s "The Forgotten". Stout's Nero Wolfe and Archie are my long-term friends whom I visit and revisit and never tire of; and if Mr. Baldacci’s character, Puller, comes close to Stout's Wolf or Archie, a good month is on its way.
