Re: What are you reading?
I really need to get back to my Proust, as I'm still The Captive of another interminable Parisian party, and have been for too long.

Re: What are you reading?
"The Nuns of Sant'Ambrogio: The True Story of a Convent in Scandal" by Hubert Wolf.
A non-fiction account of murder, heresy, and lesbian initiation rites at a Roman convent in the mid 1800s. The book is built on evidence found in recently opened archives of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (inquisition) at the Vatican. Wolf covers the histirical, political, and sectarian factors that affected the investigation and the decision to keep the story secret.. Well written and compelling read I liked it.

Re: What are you reading?
Victor88 suggested the Newsflesh series.
I read the first book, then 80% of the second book. That's all I could take. I haven't picked up a book since I set that second one down. Yup, that disgusted.

Re: What are you reading?
Just started "The Park Service Trilogy" A very interesting post apocalyptic setting. First book was good and I really have no idea where it is heading in the next two books.
A bit off topic, but how many of you have an e-reader? I picked up a kindle paperwhite a few years ago when it came out. I had been waiting for one with a light to come out since the first kindle. It quickly became my favorite thing. |

I started with a 2nd generation Kindle. I now own and use a Paperwhite and love it. I may be looking to dispose of my original Kindle for a few cigars. I have a huge e-book library if anyone is looking for stuff to read. Mostly fiction.

I recently finished Hemingway's A Farewell to Arms. I was rather disappointed.

Re: What are you reading?
Is that a Jack Reacher book? I read the first three and am taking a break before picking up the series again.

This past Christmas, I had only read through number 9. My son gave me a signed copy of Personal - number 19 in the series. I wanted to read them in order so I have been reading Lee Child since then.
