Well, you convinced me. I just added it to my library queue. :glasses:

I am, of course, still waiting for Erik Larson's newest book which is due out in March, this coming spring ... Dead Awake (is the title, I think). Situated during the post-Edwardian era, and connecting with the history surrounding the Titanic, it's a story of factual events that transpired on the Lusitania (the ship that picked up the surviving passengers of the Titanic).

I've also been reading up on other companies, conducting miniature studies, of possible places for employment, in the near future.

Just started Finding Beauty in a Broken World by Terry Tempest Williams.

I'm pretty excited to have rediscovered this author, even though I'm only maybe 40 pages in. I first read Refuge when I was in college and I can say it was a seriously influential book to me (and a contributing force for me moving west). As it turns out my sister just started working/assisting Terry via a land conservation group and she recently sent the book to me.


The official blurb for Finding Beauty in a Broken World:
"Shards of glass can cut and wound or magnify a vision," Terry Tempest Williams tells us. "Mosaic celebrates brokenness and the beauty of being brought together." Ranging from Ravenna, Italy, where she learns the ancient art of mosaic, to the American Southwest, where she observes prairie dogs on the brink of extinction, to a small village in Rwanda where she joins genocide survivors to build a memorial from the rubble of war, Williams searches for meaning and community in an era of physical and spiritual fragmentation. In her compassionate meditation on how nature and humans both collide and connect, Williams affirms a reverence for all life, and constructs a narrative of hopeful acts, taking that which is broken and creating something whole.

Beautiful.....

The lover's secret by j.c reed

I'm a sucker for romance in books, eventhought this is more of a "boom boom" book.

Missing Reels....
 

Author Farran Smith Nehme :New York late 1980s. Ceinwen Reilly has just moved from Yazoo City, Mississippi, and she’s never going back, minimum wage job (vintage store salesgirl) and shabby apartment (Avenue C walkup) be damned.

Even though I earlier posted about just starting this book, wanted to give a quick update. Great writing, interesting characters, a mystery, and even a romance! Book was truly a gem!

Graeme Simsion's Rosie Effect...
 

I’ve just started the Rosie Effect and yes, it’s a continuance of the Rosie Project!

If you enjoy an anal retentive character, which is so well organized they must plan and calculates every event right down to the last minuscule, no doubt you’ll howl with laughter at Don. If your tastes in characters run more towards a free sprit, who flies by the seat of her pants, you’re going to love Rosie!

A Town Called Alice

(Nevil Shute, Vintage Books, NY, NY, 1950).

Rereading "Lord of the Rings" for the umpty-fourth time, I usually reread it once a year or so.
I just finished rereading the "Silmarillion" and needed to revisit my old friends in Middle Earth

the book "Carol"
 

Hi there everyone
I am reading a book calle Carol written by patricia highsmith.
Its a great. Book

I'm reading "Out of Time", by Paula Martinac, for a GLBT book club. I've been on page 4 for about a week now. I may have nothing to say at the meeting next week.

Title: IQ84

Author: Haruki Murakami


I picked it up at the library, today.
I plan to read all of it on Sunday.

: )

Dark Gold- Christine Feehan

The Student Conductor by Robert Ford

1984 by George Orwell.

I read it years ago, and it's every bit as depressing, frightening and brilliant as I remember it. Maybe more so. The concepts of Doublespeak, Thought Police, and of course "Big Brother is Watching You" have stuck with me over the years, but I had completely forgotten about Two Minutes Hate and Facecrime. Damn, just damn.

The Client by John Grisham...

I'm in the mood for good fiction and I realized I've never read Grisham...

I just finished The Girl on the Train. I liked this authors style of writing and can't wait to read more by her.

Next I'm starting a lesbian book by Lynn Ames called All That Lies Within. This book was awarded the Ann Bannon Popular Choice Award and an lammy award finalist!

wild
 

Am about to start reading the book called Wild. Which the latest film of Reese Witherspoon as done. Loved the film so much.
Will let you know how the book is.

Howard Zinn: A People's History of The United States

As an aside, one will view that whole Christopher Columbus was such a great adventurer thingy as a true, cruel farce.

Just finished "The Rosie Project" by Graeme Simsion. Loved it so much I grabbed the sequel, "The Rosie Effect," but it's sadly just not as good. Not bad, but not as fun or original as the first...

The Sunday New York Times...takes all week

Last night I started The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern. While I am only 75 or so pages in, I am completely taken with it. It is incredibly well crafted and intriguing.

Sarah Waters The Paying Guests...
Absolutely a huge fan of her books. This one is great too!

Please let me know what this book is like. I also love her books.
Tipping the velvet and the Fingersmith were wonderful.
And if you have read anymore, let me know if they are worth buying on paperback or kindle.
Thanks

Last week I finished reading a book I utterly loved.
Its called Carol and its by Patricia Highsmith
This is basically a story about 2 women who fall in love.
But the era they live in poses some difficulties.
You may find it a bit slow going to begin with, but please stick with it.
If your a romantic at heart it will have you hooked when things start to form.
Please take a chance on this book.

I'm still picking up and attempting to finish The Hour I First Believed, if simply because Wally Lamb is one of my favorite authors. However, this book has so far thrown a big wet blanket of doom on even the best of moods. I certainly hope there is something redeeming further in the pages. Read with caution and a Disney Movie nearby for the after effects.

March is almost here and I can hardly wait to read Erik Larsson's latest book, "Dead Wake."

Like most all of his previous non-fiction accounts of history, the story about the sinking of USS Lusitania looks very promising, in expanding other facts of little-to-widely known historical facets, which i imagine will be a welcome breath of fresh air.

Two to three weeks and counting!

Can hardly wait.

Seems like it has been ages since I had any decent reading material.

The art of war. For All Business Intense purposes.
