message 2951: by Alias Reader (last edited Oct 05, 2012 08:45PM) (new)

Alias Reader (aliasreader) I'm still reading Winston Churchill's The Gathering Storm.

I took a short break to read Senior Fitness~Ruth E. Heidrich

The author is a cancer survivor, vegan and triathlete.
She's quite inspiring.

I loved her quote about people saying exercise and vegan diet are too hard.

"The pain of discipline is nothing compared to the pain of regret."
~~~ Ruth Heidrich

You want that FedEx overnight, or two-day?

I need it here yesterday because I'm already on page 6.

I've accepted it and moved on. Bite Me, firstreads...I don't care if you blacklist me. I'm going to try a new book instead of forcing myself to read your free one!

Gonna give Bloodring (Rogue Mage, #1) by Faith Hunter a go.

Now THAT'S what I'm talkin' 'bout, Jammies! I just ordered both books for my nook and pre ordered the third. Why such a gap? 1999, 2000 and 2012...Hmmm.

Cynic.

Why thank you, Ms. Amelia! I've been on a steampunk kick and needed some old-fashioned fantasy.

Amy Neftzger (neftzger) | 304 comments I'm almost done with Sarah's Key.

Also finished reading an ARC of Skinny Dipping in Daylight, review to post when I get the time to write it!

Jammies Fatal Vision: Movie Tie-In (In my defense, I got it at a library sale)

It's been given really good reviews on GR, Jammies.

4.06 out of 5.

If you trust the masses.

Fiona (Titch) Hunt (titch) Just finished Destined to Play - Indigo Bloome and loved it.

Fiona (Titch) Hunt (titch) This morning I started A Life For A Life - Tim Ellis


message 2973: by Nathan (new)

Nathan Daniels (NathanDaniels) | 8 comments I just started reading Teitem Brown, by Mick Foley (yes... the Professional wrestler). He also wrote three auto-biographies (no ghost-writer) and at least two children's books. Not bad, for a guy that spent decades being thrown through tables ;]


message 2974: by Amy (new)

Amy Neftzger (neftzger) | 304 comments Re-reading The Handmaid's Tale. Interesting to revisit this now that I'm older.

I saw Margaret Atwood speak yesterday and she was wonderful. If she's speaking anywhere near where you live I recommend going to hear her.

evie (ecie) | 4437 comments I finished reading The Terror this morning.

I started The Fall of Troy.

I'm curious as to why someone would need to write three different autobiographies.

I won't justify a need for it, but they are entertaining, and it's not that unusual for multiple autobiographies. Author of Running with Scissors, Augusten Burroughs' life wasn't as interesting as the world-traveling Foley's, yet I believe he has penned five so far. How many did Winston Churchill write?
Mick Foley's writing definitely isn't for everyone, but you certainly don't have to be a wrestling fan to enjoy him either. Check him out, and you might be impressed... I was :]
I'd love to hear back from you, about this or anything else for that matter :]

I just started a biography of George Sand.


message 2982: by [deleted user] (new)

There you are! I'm sure you've already been appropriately scolded for worrying folks...what's wrong with Poe?

Nothing's wrong with Poe, but something's amiss with poe.

Yes! Many people have read biographies of Sand.


message 2992: by Phil (last edited Nov 01, 2012 04:40PM) (new)

Phil | 11837 comments A biography of sand? Sure, it's fun to walk on at the beach but, really, a whole book about it?

Why not a biography of dirt?

Lobstergirl | 24778 comments Mod
If there isn't one already, I'm sure there will be soon.

Phil | 11837 comments Larry could write it. I hear he's old enough to have known it since birth.

Félix (habitseven) I was there.

Emily E (emily_e1) | 1032 comments I quite like dirt.

Karmen | 21 comments Reading "happy birthday, Turk" by Jakob Arjouni. So far very derivative noir mystery. Nothing to grab onto regarding character or plot.
