I've just started reading my 1920 edition of; "Memoirs Of The Count De Rochechouart".


by Frances Jackson

[Alisa]

I am going to hear the author speak this coming week and I want to read as much of this as possible before then. It's been on my to-read list for awhile so am excited to break into it.
by Jeffrey Toobin

['Aussie Rick']

Hi Alisa, I hope you do enjoy both the book and the author's talk. It's always great to hear the writer talk about his book and the inspiration behind the project. I've just picked up and started to read; "No True Glory" by Bing West.

Just finished byR. Hugh Knyvett no author photo

I read the Gutenberg download. This book gives a glimpse of life in the trenches and no mans land. Tries for the heroic face some "politically incorrect language" published in 1918 while the war was still on.

[Patricrk]

Also completed C. Leroy Baldridge This is pen and ink sketches the author did during world war I and occupation. Most were published in the Stars and Stripes (military newspaper) Very short and a Gutenberg Project book.

[Jeffrey]

I'm nearly finished with The Authentic Adam Smith: His Life and Ideas (Enterprise) by James Buchan I should have it finished by the weekend. It's very much an academic read, however. Makes for slower reading because of the use of language and the style.

I hope you are able to join us for the "All Quiet on the Western Front", Patricrk. You've been reading some WWI stuff and your thoughts would really enhance the discussion.

by Erich Maria Remarque

[Patricrk]

Just finished by Henry M. Field (no author photo) A fascinating story of the persistence involved in the 13 year struggle to get a telegraph cable laid under the Atlantic Ocean.

I am about two-thirds the way through by Tony Fitzjohn (no photo) and am simply blown away. I was never that interested in the contemporary history of big cats or East Africa but this book is making me a convert.

Thank you Regulo. Appreciated.

Just starting into by Alan Beattie, which I picked up (strangely enough) at a grocery store's "bargain books" bin. It looked interesting enough to snag at discount price.

Going well so far, I didn't have a lot of background in Argentine history so the first chapter has been giving me lots of food for thought. :)

I'm interested to see what the author does with communistic/socialist economies when he gets to them. I'm really enjoying the premise that there are choices along the path of history and frequently those choices aren't as clear as we like to make them in hindsight. ;)

by George Hooper

[Tom]

Just getting started "Black Hawk Down" and liking it a lot. The descriptions of Mogadishu in the beginning were very nice, hope it continues throughout the book.

by Mark Bowden

['Aussie Rick']

Hi Tom, "Black Hawk Down" is an excellent book all the way through, I'm sure you'll love it.


by Mark Bowden

['Aussie Rick']

I've just started a very interesting book on a different subject; "The Cello Suites" by Eric Siblin.


by Eric Siblin

[Alisa]

Just about to crack into this little microhistory. Should be a fun quick read.
by Mark Kurlansky

[Patricrk]

just finished by Meghan McCain it happened two years ago so that is history, isn't it? A very brief and personal look at life on the campaign trail. Entertaining and informative.

[Elizabeth S]

Definitely history. I wonder how long it took them to get that cover picture?

Not sure it is non fiction actually; never mind historic - looks like fluff to me (lol)

[Elizabeth S]

Fluff history. Now that is a funny concept! Bentley, you are inventing a whole new sub-genre name. (hee hee)

I am currently reading and enjoying; "The Origin of the Fighter Aircraft" by Jon Guttman.

Nothing says hope like the beginning of baseball season! Since my team appears to be beyond hope again this season, I have decided to start this microhistory about baseball's longest game.
by Dan Barry

['Aussie Rick']

Hi Alisa, that looks like a very interesting book and it should be fun to read.

[Tom]

Got a good start on Vicksburg by Michael Ballard. Seems pretty good so far, I'm enjoying it.


by Michael B. Ballard

['Aussie Rick']

Hi Tom, I've got a copy of that book but haven't gotten around to reading it so I'll be keen to hear what you think of it once you have finished reading it.

by Michael B. Ballard

[Krystal]

I just finished by .

I have started by
so far so good and what has made me happy in the book is that the author gave the MC Noreen my birthday I have rarely have ever had that happen.

[Michael]

Just starting by Bing West

[Krystal]

finished by and will be starting either today or tomorrow by

[Bentley, Group Founder, Leader, Chief]

Hi Krystal...you have to add the author's link - everything else is fine.


by Barbara Haworth-Attard

and

by G.J. Meyer

Remember that you have to go back in to the author's section twice: first to add the photo and then again to add the link.

I'll be joining you on that one in a few days. Yea baseball!!! (By the way, is your team the Mariners? Not the best start this year indeed.)

['Aussie Rick']

I've just started "Lions of Medina" by Doyle D. Glass.

I think you are going to love this book. I am 43 pages into it and totally hooked. Yes, cheering on the hometeam is often painful in Seattle and with the Mariners it is a study in disappointment with occasional flashes of brilliance (Felix Hernandez, last year's Cy Young award winner for example. Or Ichiro, who I think is an athletic genius.) We are off to a dismal start this year. But in baseball there is hope!

[Elizabeth S]

As a Cubs fan, I know there is *always* hope. There may not be anything else, though. :)

[Alisa]

Ha! Elizabeth, you know my pain!! Our turn will come. I just hope it is in my lifetime.

[Bentley, Group Founder, Leader, Chief]

Krystal, I see I missed one. Please add all three segments when citing any book (bookcover, author's photo and always the author's link which is the author's name in linkable text)

You have to go back in to the author's tab and first add photo and then add link. You seem to have a handle on how to add the bookcover now.

I found the G.J. Meyer an excellent read and I'm sure you will like it.

Reading by Pat Conroy

An autobigraphical account of his love affair with the written word and the people who have made his reading life a joy. I'm about half way through and he expresses the joy of reading so well that I can't wait to get back to it.

[Elizabeth S]

That is quite a recommendation, Patricrk.

[Bentley, Group Founder, Leader, Chief]

It sounds like a good book Patricrk.

[Dick]

To Alisa and Elizabeth S.:
Try being a Washington Nationals fan!

I'm just about to start Orlando Figes' new book; "Crimea".


by Orlando Figes

[Cel]

I am reading Edward Rutherfurds London at the moment. Enjoying it mostly, but don't like what he has had happen to some characters.

[Alisa]

Cel, please remember that our guidelines require that you post the book cover, author photo (when available) and author link, whenever mentioning a book. It helps other memebers see what book and author you are referring to and uses the goodreads software to link discussions to the relevant book. Thanks!
