What Are You Reading

I just started the Dresden FIles by Jim Butcher. Kind of Sam SPade meets Harry Potter. A rather enjoyable bit of fluff.

These days I'm reading a two-volume compilation of Raymond Chandler. The first volume has many of his "pulp" short stories.

I need to stop messing around on the computer and read more books.

I have thought about picking up some of his works

 

[Tony in Tarzana]

I got them from Amazon. Most of his novels and short stories in a two-volume hardbound set.

 

["Doc" Devereux]

I'm reading a fascinating book called Infamous Aircraft, about aeroplanes (and airships) that weren't exactly a joy to fly under all conditions. Thoroughly enjoying it too.

 

[Matthew Dalton]

I'm reading The Count of Monte Cristo and 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.

 

[Tony in Tarzana]

OK, Doc, there's another book I have to buy. Gee, thanks!

Anything that mentions the Tarrant Tabor is pretty much a must-buy.

 

[G. Fink-Nottle]

I just started "Freedom From Fear" by David M. Kennedy, It's a history of the US from the depression to the end of WWII. The book is about five inches thick so it'll be awhile before it's finished.

I very much enjoyed The Count. I hate the mvoie was not closer to it.

I thought the movie was okay, until I actually read most of the book and saw it again, then I thought it was pretty poor.

I got another movie version not long ago, I haven't watched it yet, it looked a little bit more accurate. But still not true to the book.

 

[Lancealot]

Which version is it?

 

[Matthew Dalton]

This one, I believe.

 

[Feraud]

Krakatoa: The Day the World Exploded by Simon Winchester.

 

[Lancealot]

That one looks good so does this one http://amazon.imdb.com/title/tt0167565/

I think I'm going to have to pick up both of those.

I'm reading On the Waterfront, the Pulitzer prize winning articles that inspired the film.

 

["Doc" Devereux]

OK, Doc, there's another book I have to buy. Gee, thanks!

I know: I'm a bad, bad man. Fortunately it's a thing that seems to work for me.

I am reading "The Autobiography of Henry VIII" by Margaret George. I love reading anything about England's monarchs, and mysteries.

Oh, I love that too! I've been reading whatever I can about Queen Elizabeth.

Which one?

The Virgin Queen: Elizabeth I, Genius of the Golden Age by Christopher Hibbert. Also those trashy Phillipa Gregory books - love those.
