Default What Are You Reading

Hypothermia is #6 in a great Icelandic police procedural series by Arnuldur Indridason.

The Light of Days is an interesting non-fiction account of Women Resistance fighters in Hitler’s Ghettos.

Give the video trailer a watch. This would make a good movie.

Author is also a seasoned guitar and mandolin player, whom I've had the pleasure of meeting and jamming with.

An interesting follow-up to "Thinking Fast and Slow."

Angels and Demons by Dan Brown. It's actually the first book he published in the Robert Langdon series, before the Da Vinci Code (which was the first movie released).

I've seen both movies but never read the books. Here's to some good reading.

Trejo would be an interesting read. I like his character in movies (scary dude) and I think it's "what you see if what you get". I recall reading an interview from him a few years ago where he said he was in a gang back in the 70s and spent time in prison but he managed to turn things around and help others.

In my quest to read all the classics that I missed in my youth, I have now landed on Melville's Moby Dick. I am enjoying it a lot more than I expected and truly appreciate his descriptive genius.
