I don't own an e-reader and I would not like to ever own one.

I only read handwritten manuscripts on parchment.

Audiobooks (I have an audible account) and paper for me.

Finally reading A Dance with Dragons. Once I finish that in a week or so, it'll be on to either James Barclay or Daniel Abraham. Not sure which direction I'm leaning.

Audiobook wise I'm currently listening to Robert Charles Wilson's Axis, sequel to Spin, and plan to listen to the third and I think final book in the series, Vortex, next.

Just finished Full Black by Brad Thor, loved it. Also read Do The Work by Steven Pressfield, which was great too.

Back to The Sum of All Fears, hopefully will have that one done by the end of the week.

The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind by William Kamkwamba. No it's not about farting. Actually it's one of the most inspirational books I've ever read. That's saying a lot for a person like me who's soul is dead inside.

You must be older than I thought.

Same here.

great book

Last night I picked up After America by Mark Steyn. I'm about 30 pages in. Interesting read - I'm not expecting a happy ending, either.

Perhaps this would make a good topic for discussion in DC.

Mark Steyn is a funny guy. I thought that book was pretty good.

The last book I read was "Seeing Further: The Story of Science, Discovery, and the Genius of the Royal Society" which is a collection of essays edited by Bill Bryson that all relate in some way to the scientific discoveries/advancements made by people associated with the Royal Society of London. It was pretty dry and as far as I'm concerned it was pretty hit and miss. I was hoping for stories about the early members of the RS like Isaac Newton, Robert Boyle, and Robert Hooke. There was some of that, but there was also some preachy stuff about climate change, some boring stuff about building bridges and some interesting talk about modern concepts of time and advanced math. Can't really recommend it for general purposes.

I just started, "August: Osage County" Very good so far.

The main message I'm getting so far is STOCK UP ON AMMO.

He wrote it when he still had hope for America. I've read some of his columns since then that are less optimistic.

Have you read 'A Short History of Nearly Everything?'
