Now i'm reading Red Rabbit by Tom Clancy, also an e-book about the Bushs?? Bushes?? Anyway it's got lots of junk in it, & might be true since no high dollar lawyer has sued.

The Picture of Dorian Grey by Oscar Wilde. Weird reading stuff over a hundred and twelve years old.

Requiem

Clare Francis.

"Made in America" by Bill Bryson. If you really want to understand how American culture, language, sports, entertainment, companies, brands etc. etc. etc. developed from the early settlers to the end of the 20th century, this is a must read. I think it should be in every American classroom. It's not like a study book - it's very entertaining. As soon as I finish it, I'm going to start again. I want to memorize it.

November issue of Maximum PC.

The Blue Last by Martha Grimes and still wading through Lorna Doone by R.D. Blackmore, also written over one hundred years ago. I love the wordiness, but it makes for slow reading . I usually have several books going at a time and can choose what I want according to my present frame of mind.

Well, why does that not surprise me, Patti?

At the moment, I'm reading this post.

I dunno, Ed, why?

I'm reading Red Rabbit by Tom Clancy and also a couple of books on Windows XP.

By the light of the moon, Dean Koontz & The Janson Directive, Robert Ludlum. Now a trip to library for more, only 1/2 blk. from my house. BB

Cisco CCNA Semester Two Programming Routers via the IOS: Router1# enable ?

Hmm, Lets see Sams PHP, SQL and Apache

Economics, I have final tommorrow.

Back Story............Robert Parker


The Da Vinci Code..........Dan Brown

Chasing the dime, Michael Connelly

Network Security Essentials by William Stallings

Yippy skippy. I fall asleep about every 3rd page after I have to re-read it 10 times.

I wonder if computer related material like this can get a little drier? I equate it to stopping and sitting at a red traffic light...........for 6 hours, or hand-cleaning a chandelier........with 500 crystals.

I'm reading this monitor screen with these SAF posts right now, and trying to envision Interceptor hand-cleaning a chandelier with 500 crystals. Now that would be a sight! I could more easily envision him getting to about the 20th crystal, getting fed up with the whole thing, and taking an Uzi to it.

Well, at least it would be clean. Modified a bit, maybe.....but clean.

The King of torts, John Grisham

The Bourne Supremacy,, Robert Ludlum

The Parent Killer by Ashley Blake. Bb

Microsoft Windows XP Registry Guide
Jerry Honeycutt
The book Interceptor is reading sounds good to me. I think I will get a copy.

Some of you have good taste in books! (Sorry, but I have the attention span of a 2-year old when it comes to tech manuals...)

Right now it's rereads around here:

Native Tongue by Carl Hiaasen,

The Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan (for about the zillionth time),

and Widow's Walk by Robert Parker.

I've just finished The Pillars of Creation by Terry Goodkind. The latest in the amazing series that is the Sword Of Truth

hi druid, I keep meaning to read that Wheel of Time ... must get round to it soon

Mein Kampf (My Struggle) - Adolf Hilter


Purely for educational purposes

Technohead when I first began reading the Terry Goodkind books several years back I was less than impressed - thought they lacked originality in a big way. Then he sort of went off in another direction and his books have gotten better and better. Pillars of Creation was good but Faith of the Fallen was awesome...he really got into a subtle comparison of capitalism and communism in the middle of that one and did it quite well...

Edit - now I read the whole series and like the entire story, so maybe it was just a bad beginning for me...

As an insomnia cure, here's one up on Condor... try reading Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoyevsky - in Russian - the English translation isn't as long winded. It took me months to get through it.

I started Mein Kampf when I was in army in Germany 1961. never finished yet. Think I got to place where he said something about 2 kinds of knowledge, What you know & what you know where to find. So that was my copout. BB

Let Freedom Ring Winning The War Of Liberty Over Liberalism by Sean Hannity

Tom Clancy, The Bear and the Dragon

I had nothing to do and decided to buy the largest paperback book I could find.. $7 got me this book and it has a 1007 pages... will have me reading for a while...

/LinuxSam

The Lord of the Rings, by J.R.R. Tolkien. Ever heard of it ?

It's a good old copy of the book, bought well before the film was ever thought of, and for some reason I couldn't get into it at that time. But now .....

Now reading "Go, Dog, Go", by P.D. Eastman - it comes highly recommended by my 2-1/2 yr old son...

. Free to choose. by Milton & Rose Friedman

The Da Vinci code

Thats a real good book Buster I really enjoyed it.

Yep a great book. Flash back 45 to 50 years ago. Sunday am. preacher damning this book. I remember when "From here to Eternity" came to town. Boy did we get the word on it. The movie even went so far as to use the word Hell. BB

Next "The Last Car to Elysian Fields" James Lee Burke

I'm reading The Sigma Protocol By Robert Ludlum

Just finished "The Cruelest Miles," by Gay and Laney Salisbury. True story of the 700-mile, six-day dogsled relay that saved Nome, Alaska, from a diphtheria epidemic in January 1925. Compelling tale of the remarkable men and dogs who took part in the serum run amid minus-60 temperatures and sunless days.

Strangely, I was inspired to read the book because I grew up and live in NYC, hardly dogsled territory. But there's a famous statue of Balto, one of the serum-run huskies, in Central Park. It was erected a few months after the serum run, which gripped the nation at the time. I knew a bit about the run from the plaque on the statue, but didn't know the details until I read the book.

Bushwhacked (Life in George W. Bush's America) by Molly Ivins

I just finished the DaVinci Code. Well, the buildup was better than the conclusion. It's a good read, though. Kinda' leaves me wondering what all the hubbub was about, other than the Roman Catholic Church hysterically trying to survive.

Currently re-reading the Belgariad, by David (and Leigh) Eddings

After the DaVinci Code, I bought Angels & Devils. What a bore. Oh well I gave it to library. BB

Rereading my A+ certification study guides getting ready for my test

MASTER OF DOOM.Pick it up.

Partner in Crime by J.A. Jance. A good read BB

Just started Robert Jordan's The Eye of The World, book 1 of the Wheel of Time series.

Wheel of Time series is a great set of books.I have read them all .I am always the first one at the bookstore when a new one comes out.
