What are you currently reading? Do you have a list of books you'd like to read or books you have read? Any particular genre? Do you use a scrap of paper or an actual bookmark when you are reading? And...do you prefer absolute peace and quiet, or can you read with disturbances around you?

- Educating Alice by Alice Steinbach
- A short list of books I'd like to read
- Mystery, humor, travel, biography
- I use both...depends on where I am reading. (I've been known to use a scrap of toilet paper. NO...not used!)
- Peace & quiet

Your turn!

I'm the same way, wyndhy!

For years I would devour books - now that I am doing my masters' I don't have a lot of time to read for pleasure though. I do have a pile of books that I keep buying anyway that I will read someday!!!

I don't use any bookmarks - I remember the page number. Can get complicated since I am usually reading 98326 books at once, but I am just so used to it that even when I try to tell myself I will use a bookmark, I always end up just forgetting it.

No, you never actually "finish" an issue of Playboy.

This morning I finished "Consent to Kill" by Vince Flynn.

This evening, I'm starting "Act of Treason" by Vince Flynn.


I'm also halfway through "A Falcon Flies" by Wilbur Smith.

"Consent to Kill" was recommended to me by a friend. How was it?

"Atlas Shrugged"...wow!

How was "Stiff"?

Hmmm...bet you've read "Interview With a Vampire" to "Queen of the Damned" and beyond?

*Note...I do tend to growl if anyone interrupts me when I'm reading.

Oh, I'm reading five or six different books at any given time...mostly natural history, military history, or reptile-related stuff. Yeah, big surprise there, I know...

If you've read the preceding 6 "Mitch Rapp" novels, then you'll like it. ha ha If this would be your introduction to the series, then I'd suggest starting with "Transfer of Power". There is a preceding novel called "Term Limits" that features many of the ongoing characters, but Mitch Rapp doesn't make an appearance until the second book.

They're all good. About as believable as anything else in that genre, but that goes without saying. It's a blend of "that technology probably does exist" and "he has unrealistic connections that make impossible things happen way too fast". Overlook that and it's good.

Mae,

I have just finished “The Trouble with Physics”. An interesting criticism of String Theory, and the University practice of Tenure.
