Books: What have you been reading?

[Deathstroke]

I finished Barbara Venkataraman's Enganged In Danger, the fourth in her Jamie Quinn mystery series.

[Magik]

I have read Hitler's Jewish Soldiers by Bryan Mark Rigg. Highly recommend it.

[The Darknight Detective]

Beginning tomorrow, I'll start The Race (2011) by Clive Cussler (the fourth Isaac Bell novel).

[Vegan Daddy]

The Exquisite Corpse (1967) by Alfred Chester

[Starter Set]

The Jewish War by Flavius Josephus.

Covering of course the Jewish attempt at getting rid of their Romans overlord during the first century of this era.

Spoiler alert, it didn't go very well.

Well written and quite interesting to read.

[The Darknight Detective]

After a little over 2 months of daily reading for this year, Dream of the Red Chamber/Dream of Red Mansion and it's 2,300-something pages is finally done! Now for my latest Kindle work to read: Fantasia of the Unconscious (1922) by D.H. Lawrence.

[The Darknight Detective]

The Jewish War by Flavius Josephus.

Covering of course the Jewish attempt at getting rid of their Romans overlord during the first century of this era.

Spoiler alert, it didn't go very well.

Well written and quite interesting to read.

I own that as a part of a complete Josephus collection I picked up a while back, but I haven't read it yet.

[Hiromi]

Time to finally check it off the list

think I'll be going with option 3 and possibly 4 depending on how I feel

[The Darknight Detective]

I'm ashamed to say I haven't read any Frank Herbert books, though he is also on my list.

[The Whovian]

The Gone World.

Just started it and it's amazing. Some very brilliant writing and cool story.

Question for anyone who has already read this. Can someone explain the prologue to me. If it involves waiting to find out in a later chapter, then I don't want to be spoiled. But if not, it was kind of confusing and I think I know what was happening but want to be sure.

[The Darknight Detective]

Two new books to read starting today: Edge of Battle (2006), the second Jason Richter novel by Dale Brown...



... and, on my Kindle, "Murphy": A Message to Dog-lovers by Ernest Gambier-Parry.

[The Darknight Detective]

Latest Kindle book: Proposed Roads to Freedom: Socialism, Anarchism, and Syndicalism (1918) by Bertrand Russell.

[adkal]

Finished Burnt Shadows by Kamila Shamsie this morning.

Now on The Help by Kathryn Stockett

[MajorHoy]

Just started reading

The Pusher by Ed McBain <87th Precinct series>
(orig. published 1956 / republished by Thomas & Mercer in 2013)

[Starter Set]

Option 3 sounds pretty good.

Those 4 books are a fantastic read.

Option 4? Meh, the two books added in the list are, in my opinion, quite bad.

Now, concerning my own reading, just finished a book with many of Robespierre's speeches, texts and so on. (mostly speeches)

Interesting read cause if the man is mostly famous for being the guillotine enthusiast we all know and love, earlier in his career he was definitely opposed to all form of "tyranny" if i dare say and to let a government too much powers over the people. Which of course in the end is precisely what he's going to do when in office.

Ah, the delicious irony.
