Wink Re: What are you reading?

I'm just finishing up "The Currents of Space" by Isaac Asimov...

Next up is a mystery called "Smoking out a Killer" by Harry P. Lonsdale, which I had to inter-library loan from out of state. It's supposed to be about an ex-detective who now owns a cigar store...

We'll see it if it's any good shortly!

Did you like the book? Seems like people either love it or hate it.

I'm about 75 pages into it. My first book by this author. It took me a little while to get into the Victorian style of writing-it is very Dickens-ish.

I've been reading a ton lately, hadn't had internet or much of anything else to do to kill time, so I read all the books I brought with me to Germany.

Read the first two books of the Mitch Rapp Series by Vince Flynn--really enjoyed them and bought the other seven books to read...

Read Working on the Edge by Spike Walker. It is a very well written account about living as a King Crab Fisherman in the Bering Sea. I liked the show Deadliest Catch, and this is a book about one guys experience in the 70s and 80s before everything became so high tech.

Bought One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest--which I'm reading now, what a fitting place for me to be telling about it-- and Robinson Crusoe, which I'll get to later. Looking forward to both of these books.
