Zalisha Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 I recently started reading the Divergent Series, and I'm in the middle of reading the Harry Potter Series. Both are wonderful series, if you haven't read them I highly suggest them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

anthony Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Just finished American Pastoral by P Roth and began my voyage on Game of Thrones. Haven't read much fantasy of late, but looking forward to diving in and then watching the series as i finish each book. This should hold me over until well after Franzen's new book drops.A Song of Ice and Fire is great. So much more than the HBO show suggests. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Boss_Tweedy Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 lay-of-the-land.jpg The last installment of the trilogy. Loved the first two. Can't go wrong with a Mississippi writer."On The Road" by Jack Kerouac. I've never read it, so it seemed apropos to pick up a copy while visiting City Lights Bookstore in San Francisco recently.

GtrPlyr Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Written by Tim's guitarist. His first hand insight gives this a more genuine feel than a biography from a stranger. Interesting read so far. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NoJ Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 The best Woodrell book I've read besides "Winters Bone" is "Woe To Live On". Civil war setting, crazy stuff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Boss_Tweedy Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 "The $100 Startup." Because there's no room in my profession for an honest lawyer, and I'm tired of spending most of my time dealing with dirtbags. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Oil Can Boyd Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Read this in high school and didn't quite get it. But I picked it up again and I'm really enjoying it. I think it helps to have been in New Orleans. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kidsmoke Posted August 25, 2015 Author Share Posted August 25, 2015 I've just finished this horrific,powerful, brilliant book: And am now following it with a poignant look at its author's life, written by a close friend of hers, after Iris Chang's suicide in 2004. What a short, profound life, and what a loss. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Inside of Outside Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Just put The Rape of Nanking on hold at my town library. Thanks for the heads up on it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Atticus Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I have listened to about 86 chapters of The Girl on the Train (audio books are about the only way I get to "read" anything lately). I am baffled at how this is some kind of national hit. Just dreadful characters that have almost no redeeming qualities to latch on to. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
smells like flowers Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I have listened to about 86 chapters of The Girl on the Train (audio books are about the only way I get to "read" anything lately). I am baffled at how this is some kind of national hit. Just dreadful characters that have almost no redeeming qualities to latch on to.Agree-- that book was shite. That whole shifting perspective device is totally ineffective when the voices of the characters are nearly indistinguishable from one another. Not to mention there wasn't an interesting thought between them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
