Books: What have you been reading?

[WestPhillyPunisher]

That's good. I didn't want you to get cheated out of them for some reason.

Me neither. I have a lot of cool stuff on my nook, like:

--several Stephen King novels
--Charles Dickens A Christmas Carol
--Mary Shelley's Frankenstein
--Bram Stoker's Dracula
--the complete Sherlock Holmes

And that's just off the top of my head.

And that's just off the top of my head.

Over the past few years, I have found hundreds of free complete collections of the works of the greatest authors. Not that I don't purchase non-free books, mind you, but it's wonderful to own everything of Dickens, the Shelleys, Doyle, Stoker, Twain, the Bard, Austen, Lovecraft, Fitzgerald, Woolf, Wilde, Gibbons, etc. on my Kindle. At last count, I have close to 14,800 items that I can download. Now I just a need a couple of lifetimes to read it all.

[Deathstroke]

I finished an advance copy of the Maddie Day mystery Death Over Easy.

[Malvolio]

Gulliver's Travels and Other Writings by Jonathan Swift (Bantam Classics)

Read it in college. Great satire that is still relevant today.

The Dust that falls from dreams. A good read.

[The Whovian]

The Dust that falls from dreams. A good read.

Never heard of it, but that is a great title for a book

[Tien Long]

As a social studies teacher, I thought I'd brush up on American history, particularly that concerning minorities. Indeed, these are the stories aren't usually told in the textbooks. Just finished reading Ray Suarez's Latino-Americans: The 500-Year Legacy That Shaped A Nation:



Now I'm in the middle of reading Ronald Takaki's Strangers From A Different Shore: A History of Asian Americans:



Certainly hope to bring these narratives and voices into whatever class I teach .

[Ghost Rider TheHellfireDemon]

The Monkey's Raincoat

Page110 Chapter 22
The pages I read today great and exciting a rescue, action with gun shots.

I possibly might be finishing this book this week. Then I'll be reading the 2nd Elvis Cole PI book which is Stalking The Angel.

[Vegan Daddy]

The Stammering Century by Gilbert Seldes

It’s a history book that profiles cult leaders, religious fanatics, charlatans, revivalists, radicals, and nutjobs from nineteenth century America.

[Deathstroke]

I finished reading the Jack Carr thriller The Terminal List.

[Enigma]

On Immunity: An Inoculation. It's ok, but she goes a little off-topic in parts, straying too far from a logical argument to one of philosophy. I think it's an interesting read for those interested in widening their perspective on vaccines, but it wasn't what I expected.

[The Darknight Detective]

Now reading True Evil (2006) by Greg Isles.

[DebkoX]

Never heard of it, but that is a great title for a book

The name drew me in.

Currently reading A Gentleman in Moscow, Amor Towles.
