Working through Absalom, Absalom! Usually tend to bog down 150 pages or so into it…making myself power through this time.

That’s me with The Sound and the Fury, never made it through. As I Lay Dying and Light in August are my favorites. I do like Absalom, Absalom.

That’s me with The Sound and the Fury, never made it through. As I Lay Dying and Light in August are my favorites. I do like Absalom, Absalom.

I’ve managed The Sound and the Fury a few times. I think it’s my favorite of his. Light in August is next in line.

And every time I’ve started Absalom, Absalom! I love it too, but I just lose the rhythm and set it aside.

 

[franklinpence]

The Wide, Wide Sea - about James Cook’s final voyage. Not something I would typically read, but it kept my attention.

Finished Marty! by Kaveh Akbar. Very well done, strange ending. Starting Red Rabbit by Alex Grecian

 

[ArdentVol]

I’ve managed The Sound and the Fury a few times. I think it’s my favorite of his. Light in August is next in line.

And every time I’ve started Absalom, Absalom! I love it too, but I just lose the rhythm and set it aside.

Sound and Fury and Light in August remained 1 and 2 after re-reads of both in thel.ast 18 months

[bignewt]

Starting Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts.

put that on my list, sounds interesting

 

[Danl]

Starting Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts.

Read that last year. Really good read.

Tried to watch the series and couldn't get into it. Not sure why.

 

[bignewt]

Finished the Biography of X, it was not as good as it has been propped up to be. The last third was particularly boring. A lot of missed opportunities especially with the alternate history world it creates.

Starting Omensetter's Luck by William H. Gass

 

[franklinpence]

Reading some Sherlock Holmes. Study in Scarlett and some short stories. Somehow hadn’t ever read any Doyle.

 

[Charlie Kelly]

“Love in the Time of Cholera” by Marquez. Second time through-still holds up. His prose is a lost art.

Starting “The Sleepwalkers” by Broch. We’ll see if it’s as good as I remember.

 

[kiddiedoc]

Just finished the first of the Jack Carr series. I'm totally hooked. I love his no- nonsense, rapid fire pace (pun intended). Taking #2&3 on vacation this summer.

“Love in the Time of Cholera” by Marquez. Second time through-still holds up. His prose is a lost art.

Starting “The Sleepwalkers” by Broch. We’ll see if it’s as good as I remember.

Sounds like a really shi**y story

 

[FLVOL_79]

Stoic Foundations (Seneca, Aurelius, Epictetus)

Working on enhancing my already dead inside don't give AF leadership style to be even more dont give AF.

 

[kiddiedoc]

I'm working through the Jack Carr series and am hooked. Nice pace, engaging, and I love the inside details on weapons and equipment.

Good stuff.

 

[franklinpence]

Reading Finders Keepers. It’s a book on “archaeological plunder”. It’s good so far, but I can see it getting preachy soon.
