Re: What are you reading?
I am reading Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel. It is historical fiction about Thomas Cromwell, assisstant to Wolsey and Chancellor after Thomas More. The writing style is very intriguing. This book has won a lot of awards and critical praise. i am enjoying it so far. It is a period of English history I love to read about.

Re: What are you reading?
Hadrian and the Triumph of Rome -- Anthony Everitt. (sort of rough going so far, though interesting at points)
Anna Karenina -- Leo Tolstoy. (Pevear and Volokhonsky translation -- smooth as a Davidoff.) the Heart of Shobogenzo -- Dogen. Very challenging. I think I understand about half of this, and that half I think I need to re-read. Holiday airplane reading: Somebody Owes Me Money -- Donald Westlake. Breezy and funny, but not the best Westlake on the shelf. |
Re: What are you reading?
Reading a few autobiographies and biographies right now. Two about poker people.
Just finished up Check-raising the Devil which is Mike Matusow's autobiography. It was a quick read, but it provided a lot of insight into what he's been through, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Just started One of a Kind, which is the story of Stuey Ungar, also eye opening and a very interesting read. And the third one that I am reading is General Jimmy Doolittle's autobiography I Could Never be so Lucky Again, which is a great read as well. Definitely keeping myself busy reading lately. |

Picked up A Reliable Wife by Robert Goolrick. It was recommended as a Hitchcock type work. Only a few pages into it ... this guy can write some terrific prose.

My current fun reading is Eichmann in Jerusalem by Hannah Arendt. Very affecting and troublesome, but a fantastic piece of journalism.

Re: What are you reading?
Just finished "The True Believer" by Eric Hoffer. I didn't completely agree with all of his premises and conclusions (as it's over fifty years old and new information has since come to light), but it was very interesting and eye-opening nonetheless.
Also finished reading Sarah Palin's autobiography "Going Rogue". Think what you may of her politics, I found her personal story quite charming. |
