Reading anything interesting?

[Sillyman]

My Mom went to Books-A-Million today and bought a bunch of books and magazines. I spent most of the evening listening to her read Confessions of a Failed Southern Lady, which is a hysterically funny book.


Anyone reading anything good right now?

 

[Monazwx]

Yep,

"Guide to planning your financial future" i.e. retirement

Already? So what are you planning to do?

 

[Pagliacci]

Yeah

Napoleon as military commander by James Marshall-Cornwall

 

[Sillyman]

Yeah

Napoleon as military commander by James Marshall-Cornwall

Would you say that in summary he was good?

 

[ScarlettRose]

um, well, right now i'm reading the 4th Harry Potter book. Just finished The snake, the cocodile and the dog, about a british woman who is an archaeologist in the early 1900's. Hilarious book, all the little tongue in cheek references. Damn, wish i was getting as much sex as she seemed to be though.

 

[Pagliacci]

Would you say that in summary he was good?

Yes,in summary I would.Though he isn't a revolutionary commander as some seems to make him out as.He went with old proven tactics and strategies,though had a very good eye to utilize his own troops strengths and weaknesses,not to mention he was seen as a good commander which made his troops loyal and have good morale.

That's what made him great.

The Harry Potter books are quite good. I read half of The Prisoners of Azkaban to my little brother in one sitting while he was in town.

The other one sounds quite intresting.

I like the Harry Potter books, I just seems a little strange to be reading the same books as my 9 year old daughter. Well not actually reading, because I listen to them on tape at work, heh. I have to have something to work my mind a little, and data entry does not. Two or three of the books i've listened to lately centered around quantum theory. Now that stretches my thinking power a bit

 

[Sillyman]

I think the mind needs a balance of deep thought and light fluff. It helps keep you regular.

avoid brain constipation?

Don't laugh at me.

The Harry Potter books are good.. but in the movie.. Doesn't anyone feel like throwing that lil boy out the castle window?

Actually, I think Hermione got the shaft in the movie. In the books she doesn't seem nearly so snotty.

Sonata Forms, Charles Rosen.

I agree. I wanted to throttle her when I watched the movie.

I loved confessions of a failed southern lady...you're right, it's hysterical!

I just finished "confederates in the attic" by tony horowitz, which looks at how the civil war is remembered in the contemporary deep south.

I also totally disagree with you, I loved Hermoine in the movie...I thought she was played to a tee. She's a little pompous and too smart for her own good. I related frighteningly well to her.

Isn't it just awful? Isn't it great?

 

[SpiceCake]

I'm reading

Cold Case by Stephen White - murder mystery
&
The New Olympian Reader
&
The Gulag Archipelago by Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn

I usually have 3 or 4 books going at a time. One mindless read, one sexy read, and one brainiac read!

I love the part where she gets here "certificate of virginity" I was laughing and horrified all at the same time.

Re: I'm reading

The Gulag Archipelago by Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn

This turned out to be very dull reading for me. I much recomend Chaim Potok's Gates of September instead for an equally frightening story of how horrible Communism really was.

 

[KillerMuffin]

Well, from the back of the book:

From Hide and Horn

Texas after "the War" was heaven for hellcats, paradise for lowlifes--and Hell on earth for honest ranchers. The range was rich with meat on the hoof, but the markets were hundres of miles of rattlesnake-and-Comanche country away.

Any man who tried to drive cattle across Texas was bound to wind up either rich or dead. Charlie Goodnight was aiming to try...and with Dusty Fog as his segundo, it was going to take more than desert, Derringers or the Devil himself to stop him!

A FLOATING OUTFIT STORY BY

J.T.
EDSON


More or less.

See, J.T. is an brit who claims that this really happened. The problem is that no one in history ever heard of half of these people and the other half exist, but not like he says they did. He's like p_p_ "John Wayne" man. It takes an hour to read a book and I'm addicted.
