I read lots, just seems most people around here read biographies or histories and I don’t read those terribly often. I probably should more, but after reading the news most mornings reality ceases to interest me.

I am currently reading "Red Sparrow'" It is a modern day spy novel that is really good. I saw it was being made into a movie and wanted to check it out- glad I did. Just finished books 1 and 2 of Ken Follett's Century Triology= "Fall of Giants" and Winter of the World. There are several key families / characters that he follows through from the turn of the 1900's through the end of WWII. Both are very long reads but were enjoyable. Grey Mountain by John Grisham. About a hotshot young lawyer who is laid off during financial crisis and is forced to take a furlough and work pro-bono. Ends up in VA coal country. This was a quick read and very entertaining. Outlander Book 1. I had seen the commercials for this series on Starz and was curious. I was in between books and it was available for check out. It wasn't bad but had a little bit of the romance novel writing written into the historical fiction. I have started and almost finished The Lost City of the Monkey God. So far it is the only book that I have not finished that I started this year. It is about the search for a lost civilization in Honduras. Thanks Mark for keeping this thread going- Last edited by 757dad; 02-28-2018 at 06:58 PM. |

Keeping Mark and I's thread alive-
Just finished Hillbilly Elegy by JD Vance. It is a memoir of sort written about his time growing up in Kentucky and Ohio and the problems facing Appalachia and how he made it out. It was a really interesting look a region of the country that is slowly falling apart and the many inconsistencies that come out of there. Also finished Dragonfly in Amber (2nd book in the Outlander series) Finished Red Sparrow which was a really fun read. On the waiting list for the second book. |

The second book is more historical fiction and less romance novel but still not exactly my cup of tea. |

What do you read? I am always looking for book titles to explore. I really enjoy reading but am terrible at finding something to read. Usually just scan the available now on the overdrive app for our library.

Lately I've been rereading books I have because I haven't been to a bookstore, or library in awhile... at some point soon I should look for something new. |

Just finished "Rigor Mortis" By Richard Harris. Basically it goes into how bad science is wasting billions of dollars on trying to find cures for diseases due to sloppy work and biased results being reported and published with a vast majority of those findings later on being found to be totally false and unrepeatable. We are screwed.
