Books, magazines, websites whatever you read, share it around.


Anne McCaffrey : To Ride Pegasus.

I'm in a bit of a timewarp at the moment, after not reading for many years I tend to look for authors from back before the dark times, as I am not all that familiar with more recent authors.

"Into The Wild" by Jon Krakauer

"This Hallowed Ground" Bruce Catton

And strange thing is I was just talking about another book by Jon. "Under the Banner of Heaven." That man can write

You get catalogues, we don't get anything, I kind of miss a certain amount of junk mail.

"Into The Wild" by Jon Krakauer

Did you get started on Krakauer with Into Thin Air? I read that one first, and was somewhat disappointed with the writing of Into the Wild and Under the Banner of Heaven (that one was slow-going, but fascinating). I'm just curious if anyone else had a similar experience with his books.

Yes I did Erika. My son had gotten Into Thin Air as a gift and I read it and was immensely intrigued. I haven't seen Under The Banner Of Heaven, maybe I need to look for that one next. I'm liking Into The Wild too, though I really have a distaste for this McCandless kid...lol. I can't imagine doing what he did and being so ill-prepared and figuring somehow he was going to get through it all. It's almost like he had read too many adventure novels and had no idea what he was biting off!

God it's late, I got to get to bed...more in the morning!

"Don't Make Me Think" a textbook on web design.......Kind of dry though.

Last thing I read was "Green Eggs and Ham" by Dr. Seuss. My kids just love that one......

Horton Hatches A Who and Oh The Places You'll Go are my favorites of the very cool 'Doc'.

Today I 'read' far too many numbers, then read some of a new book I picked up called The Question of God, C.S. Lewis and Sigmund Freud - Debate God, Love, Sex, and the Meaning of Life. It's written by Dr. Armand M. Nicholi, Jr. It's very interesting.

And of course I've been reading Lit.

American Prometheus - it's a biography of J.Robert Oppenheimer.

"Into The Wild" by Jon Krakauer

Into Thin Air was a great read of his. One of those great illustrations of how people's wills are goals are much more important to them than their bodies.

Not Without Peril by Nicholas Howe. It's about 150 years of misadventure on the Presidential Range of NH.

I hope the time that I lost the condom when I was atop Mt. Jefferson with Ms. X ended up in the editor's round file.

Currently: The Midnight Disease: the Drive to Write, Writer's Block, and the Creative Brain by Dr. Alice W. Flaherty. Also on the table: Imperial Hubris: Why the West is Losing the War on Terror,by Anonymous (a recently retired CIA analyst).

The former book is a neurological study of the causes and potential cures for writer's block, written by a Boston neurologist who is also a writer (and mother of pre-school aged twins). The latter book tells precisely why and how the imperial foreign policy of our current administration is creating more terror, not less.

Today? Why that would be "Intro Into Life" (Biology Text), followed by "Private Security," and rounding off the day with "Intermediate Algebra." Interesting reading, every bit.

 

[silverwhisper]

today, i'm reading a friend's star trek fan fiction. it's vastly better than whole shows (VOY, ENT, TNG) worth of canon trek. i'm also re-reading what's going to be my third submission thanks to my lit editor's very, very helpful comments. she rocks.

This must have been before the days of "Leave No Trace"

Nope - but I didn't say where we lost it, did I?


Nearly qualified for the 4,000 foot club and its equivalent of the "mile-high club" that summer. Tuckerman's Ravine offers some seclusion, as do most of the other hills in NH, but we just didn't get to them all.

I have some fond memories of camping at the top of Arethusa Falls in Crawford Notch.

Yep, there's not much like being able to see the reflection of the Northern Lights dancing across a woman's body.


OK, end of hijack.

I like to read books with short stories about outdoor adventure or historical events, legends, ghosts, and folklore. If you know any good ones in short story format, please let me know.

Thanks

You know you jogged my memory a bit, and being a New Englander, maybe this would interest you. Do you read things about alien abduction? I can't remember the book, but it was a 2-part job. First story was about the couple that was driving home from the White Mountains and claimed to be abducted around Franconia Notch. They were from somewhere down in the Portsmouth area I think. Inter-racial couple, Barney & Betty Hill I believe.

The 2nd story was of the alien landing down in the Exeter area, supposedly with credible law enforcement eye witnesses. Damn if I can remember the book name though!
