I got two new books from the library today:Closer - a history of sorts dealing with Major League baseball's best relief pitchers.
and
How the Beatles Rocked The Kremlin
3rd book from Game of Thrones series. These books are awesome!!
Outlaw - About the Outlaw country music movement in Nashville in the late 60s/early 70s. I'm about 50 pages in, so far its just so-so.

Reading
and I am wondering how are all these loose ends going to get tucked away by the end of this one book?!
Just finished reading Seigfried Lenz's The Heritage, currently rereading R.A. Lafferty's Not to Mention Camels.
I'm reading this and another book called The Age Of Reagan. Both are histories that basically cover the years from watergate to Bush 43's reign.
Almost halfway through
. It is AMAZING so far. :'D
Aaron wrote: "I'm also halfway through Doctor Sleep. It really is brilliant!!"Have you read NOS4A2 by Joe Hill yet? It's also pretty amazing. And there are tie-ins between the two novels! I've always loved that aspect of Stephen King's fictional universe. It's one of my favorite things about him as an author.
@Sara
No, but I want to read NOS4A2. Joe Hill is a favorite author of mine. Tie-ins? Cool! There are tie-ins with The Shining in Dr. Sleep.

Reading
Have always been interested how an entire country could go along with exterminating over five million people!!!
Well a few years ago we saw how a country could go along with exterminating nearly a million Iraqis...its basically fear and ignorance spread by people who are motivated by greed and power.
The last group posts, from a month ago. Anybody still around?
Hi, I'm still here. This place is pretty dead though.I just finished reading Me, the Mob and The Music about Tommy James and Morris Levy. I read that Martin Scorcese is interested in making it into a movie.
Currently reading "20 years of Censored news" by Carl Jensen
I'm halfway through Oddball Michigan by Jerome Pohlen. Great reading for yoopers and those of us (trolls) living below the bridge.Laugh out loud funny!!
Jim Rogatis's Staring At Sound, is the story of the Flaming Lips. Rogatis does adequate research, but he's not much of a writer. Still the band is interesting enough to make this an interesting read.
I'm reading a memoir by Carrie Brownstein of Sleater-kinney fame. Its very self-involved and slow... Not sure if I can finish it.
Some guy I talk with on Facebook sent me his self-published novel, so I'm reading that. The problem is that I only read books - this was sent to me electronically - so its slow going right now.
I’m reading a biography on CCR right now called “A song for everyone”. It’s pretty mediocre. It does that thing where it lists pop culture and political events at the beginning of chapters to try to put the subjects story in historical context. A little of that is fine, but at times it can be overdone - which is what is going on in this book. I’m still reading it though.
Finished a biography on Nelson Algren, now I'm starting Algren's short book, City On the Make
