I find it interesting from time to time to hear what some of you are reading.
I've just started "Pecked to death by ducks" by Tim Cahill
It's a travel related book....for some reason I'm drawn to these....I have no idea why...

Since you asked.... heh I finally finished "A Bright Shining Lie" about the Vietnam war, and have begun "The Bible Unearthed" by Israel Finklestein (think he's jewish?).. also reading "on the road" by Keroac...some books you have to read again after 30 years. I'm considering reading some George Orwell too, considering the times. LE

_Atlantis Blueprint_ by Wilson & Flem-Ath. Claims that Antarctica is Atlantis, and that this book isn't flakey like von Daniken or Velikovski. Far-fetched, but some ideas are interesting.
_Mars_ by Sheehan & O'Meara. Non-fiction and current.
Bits & pieces of _Koran_. Anybody know a modern English translation?

Inca Gold by Clive Cussler. The hero is Dirk Pitt, kind of an Indiana Jones type.

I’m reading the SignLab Manual, and the Omega CAS/Tech Review when I get frustrated (I’m saying that to keep the SignLab support guys on their toes)
I would be reading a Gerber Edge Book if there were one. (any of you Edge Gurus, who write so well, listening??)
Also: Stones from the River (Ursula Hegi)
Recommendation for Adrienne: Michael Crichton's book "Travels"
Good post, I'll be interested to read what comes up. I love to read, but there just isn't enough time, so I'm grateful for LE. Without you being lazy we couldn’t benefit from your educated and balanced views obtained by reading the hard stuff while we work. Also: Israel Finkelstein- no way he could be Jewish.

Let's see...
Black House, Stephen King & Peter Straub. I may never have to read another SK book again, this one is so good.
MySQL/PHP Database Applications (you should see our new website)
Teach yourself XML in 24 hours, Charles Ashbacher
The Gold Of The Gods, Erich von Daniken (if you ever wanted to know some amazing South American history, read his books)
Wake Up And Live! by Dorothea Brande is a "formula for success that WORKS!"
Growing A Business, Paul Hawken
Selling the Invisible by Harry Beckwith (the definitive guide on selling a service, all small shops should read this book)
The Isaiah Effect, by Gregg Braden - WOW. What a book.

The Aubrey / Maturin series of novels....sort of like The Hardy Boys, only for adults....by Patrick O'Brian. These are seafaring stories, historically accurate (supposedly) centering around the adventures of captain Jack Aubrey (who I want to be like when I grow up...after Roger Bailey), and his assistant, Steven Maturin, a ships surgeon and master intelligence agent. Marvelous reading..requires a tolerance for the jargon and the "roll" of the story...which quickly develops. I can't imagine a month going by, at least in the winter, not going to sea with Aubry.

i'm reading the Harry Potter books (i finished the first one, and have the third and fourth... but waiting to receive the 2nd... i hate waiting!). it inspired me to make my mahlstick into a (sign) wizard's wand.
also reading "The Art of Happiness" by HH T Dalai Lama, "The Vein of Gold", "A Radical Faerie Seedbed", and a pile of shoujo manga (well, i just look at the pictures for those, since i can't read Japanese).

Hey Bruce!
I'm on book seven (or is it eight) of the Left Behind series. My Grandmother gave me the first one to just consider reading, I did, now I can't stop! I get to the end of one and have to run out and get the next one. I'm not an overly religious person but the story is very intriguing and if this stuff really is spelled out in the Bible, we'd better all smarten up!
Posted by Paul Jordan (Member # 1198) on :
G'day from someone downunder. Have read all the "Left Behind" series, so far, kids and adult series, can't wait for the next one. A singer and songwriter called Larry Norman wrote a song called "I wish we'ed all been ready", makes you think. My favourite adventure author is Clive Cussler, read all of his books as well.
Posted by AdrienneMorgan (Member # 1046) on :
Boy!! Do I remember Larry Norman!!!???? Takes me back to the 70's, (Campus Life Ministries days) sitting around campfires playing guitar and singing Larry Norman songs... Now I'm curious to read those.

I'm reading about twenty years worth of back issues of sign magazines. I think I will be at it awhile. This is an incredible amount of information given to me by some very kind people. It's also pretty cool to see how some of the changes have taken place in this industry.

Good Post! I just got through reading "Beyond Valor" nothing but interviews with old men, who fought in the European theater during WWII,(couldnt put it down).
I'm currently almost through "Rising Sun Victorious", or How Japan Won The War. Kinda interesting.

I don't know what to think about your post Bill Preston, I look at your picture and it looks to me like you're reading it right now...........
Posted by VICTORGEORGIOU (Member # 474) on :
The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay by Michael Chabon. This is the most imaginative and interesting fiction that I have read in a long time, and I highly recommend it for the fiction readers among you.
The other one is a good lazy summer afternoon read - Be Cool by Elmore Leonard, probably best known for Get Shorty.
