What Are You Reading?

homicide had 5 good seasons, and that's a great book. local too.

i liked empire too.

You shant regret it. After you finish Burr, you will want to read, in order

Lincoln
1876
Empire
Hollywood
Washington D.C.

I'm trying to read up on subjects that have tended to fall under my radar. Hence John Adams, War of 1812...upcoming for me

Aaron Burr (perhaps)
Andrew Jackson
Pre-Civil War (Pierce/Buchanan eras)
Doris Kearns Goodwin's "Team of Rivals"
US Grant's Memoir
Spanish-American War
Titan (I think that's the name of the book)
Panama Canal

that should do for now

Just curious, how fast do you guys read?

I've never been a speed-reader by any means. Sometimes it takes me forever to get through a book. Have you ever read a book in one sitting? The fastest books I ever got through were "The Deep" by Peter Benchley, and Michael Crichton's "Sphere" and "Congo". I got finished with those in about 3 or 4 days.

These days, with a 4-year old, a 12-month old, and another one on the way, the times when I could waste the day away on a book are long gone.

Well my whole thing now is books on tape, with my vicious daily commute.

I was about to post the exact same thing. I haven't read a book in ages.

It depends, recently it seems like I've had ADD. (I can't even get myself to beat Assassin's Creed, wtf?!) But right around a book a week, depending on the book. I started the 1200 page monster that is The Stand in the winter and didn't finish it because of the semester. (I don't read books other than school books during the semester)

I think I want to try to tackle that even though I have a couple of unfinished books currently sitting on my nightstand.
I do love a good post-apocalyptic yarn, so I feel like it could be right up my alley.

A 600 pager takes me about a month now with a wife and a three month old. I have never left a book unfinished, even it sucks I feel to guilty. Weird.

Anybody read Fight Club, Chuck Palahnuik.

He's one helluva writer. The book is very entertaining.

He's one helluva writer. The book is very entertaining.Fight Club is the book that turned me into a reader. I've read all his books up until Rant, his newest, which I was about 100 pages into when I moved last summer. I think that I need to start that one over.

I really liked them all, but Fight Club, Diary, and Lullaby really stood out to me. Also, the movie version of Choke is coming out this August and it looks pretty interesting.
