GR stats measure # books read per year, but also pages. You can toggle back & forth between them.

The Mark Inside: A Perfect Swindle, a Cunning Revenge, and a Small History of the Big Con
The beginning is about financial cons and swindles since American colonial days. Interesting history and so little has changed.


I'm currently reading The Lost City of Z: A Tale of Deadly Obsession in t..."
I've read that!
I put it on my to-read list a LONG time ago. Like to swap somehthing when you're finished, Youndy?

I'm also reading One Hundred Days of Solitude.

Next up will be another play. Harvey~Mary Chase

Sally - I got it from the library. But you should move it up your list, it was a good read. I found the background information interesting, and I liked how the author put the story of Colonel Foster in the context of the author's own journey, alongside the stories of other explorers that did the same quests.


It was pretty good, not my favorite but a unique story. Let me know what you think.

I read it years ago and have thought about re-reading it. I just get distracted by all the other books begging to be read.


I'm starting a week long read-a-thon tomorrow morning and hope to read Pitcairn's Island, In One Person, The Crossing Places, and The Graveyard Book.

Here's a link to the one starting tomorrow: http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/8...
After the last TBR Toppler (which is what we call them), we decided on getting custom tea blends and have come up with two names and flavours. I'm in the process of finalizing the details with the company that does custom blends. That should explain all the mention of tea on the thread.

I finished it this evening. It's one of the best books I've read this year.

I really enjoyed 11/22/63, too!

We're an easy going bunch. Nobody cracks the whip. :)

Truth: A History and a Guide for the Perplexed. I'm feeling dispirited because of hating this so far.


I watched the documentary and it was very interesting - I'd love to see your review of the book.

I started Nothing Daunted but am having a very hard time getting into it. I'm considering reading my sister's copy of Krakatoa instead.

They also do a good podcast.

I didn't know there was a documentary! I'll have to check that out.



and A Reliable Wife

You speak the truth. I blame society.
