What are you reading at the moment?

Breaking the Covenant by Rob Graham and Celina Summers. Also, Blood Sisters by Melody Carson. Yes, I tend to have two books going at the same time. Though with Breaking, I am reading it in its entirety before going on to other books.

This Child Will Be Great by Ellen Sirleaf.

She's the first female president of any African nation, in this case Liberia. there are some interesting tidbits on US history in this book, so anyone who likes that stuff would enjoy the first four chapters. Other than that, it's pretty dry. Very factual. I wouldn't recommend it, unless you are looking for a wonderful example of a good strong female role model.
 
I suggest you might want to stay away from Ancestral Connections: Art and an Aboriginal System of Knowledge by Howard Morphy. It's pretty deadly.
 
The Year of Living Biblically by A.J. Jacobs. So far (I'm only one quarter of the way through) it has been funny and enlightnening. Thumbs up. :)
 
The Plays of W S Gilbert (he of Gilbert and Sullivan).

He was a successful playwright on his own, influencing Bernard Shaw and Oscar Wilde. His sense of comic timing was unrivalled in his day.

SEX IS HOT IN TAMPA.

It's interesting they keep bringing up Tampa. I live in Florida for over twenty years, and Tampa was always seen as the blue collar, illiterate section of Central Florida. (Not my thoughts, just generalities that I heard for over twenty years.) But hell, from my understanding it's supposed to be a happening place for swingers, and there are several porn sites based there. So I guess romance novels fit the bill too. Good for Tampa. Good for the writers! :D
 
PENANDPAPER

Tampa was a blue-collar paradise until maybe 1990. The cigar factories are gone, construction is history (I cant name one old-line general contractor who's still around), the shipyards dont do much, bananas are down to nuthin, and agriculture is almost dead.

People are loansharks, bueaucrats, lap dancers, teachers, and call center phone operators.
 
Sudden Takes A Hand by Oliver Strange

Of course the good guy gets the girl...

...and the ranch.

ANNA KARENINA by Tolstoy
THE HIGH WINDOW by Raymond Chandler
 
Haiku: A Poet's Guide by Lee Gurga. A pretty good book all in all.
 
A very poorly written Texas history textbook. :rolleyes: Well, that is when I'm not dozing on top of it. And yeah, I actually like history. Did I mention very badly written?
 
"The Battered Bastards of Bastogn" by George E. Koskimaki.

An interesting read but not the best description of the Battle of Bastogn as it is a bit confusing. (It has a lot of personal rememberances included.)

"American Tabloid" by James Ellroy

First in a trilogy of a fictionalized account of JFK's assassination. Ellroy takes the position that the Mafia killed JFK and gives us an account of how it might have happened, mixing real life individuals with fictional characters. This book begins in Beverly Hills, November 22, 1958 and carries us to Dallas, November 22, 1963. His sparse prose, street lingo, and direct style is a little difficult to understand at first, but it packs more action into each page than conventional writing and once you get the hang of it, it's hard to put down.

I've read the second book in the trilogy, "The Cold Six Thousand," which covers the assination and have ordered the third book, "Blood's A Rover" which will be released September 22, 2009.
