The Monstrous Regiment by Terry Pratchett
Earthly Cycles-Reincarnation,Karma, and Consciousness. by Ramon Stevens....this is one super intelligent writer. Makes you wish you could recite this word-for-word.
Working on finishing up Alexandre Dumas' "Three Musketerrs".
Just finished "The Wise Man's Fear" by Patrick Rothfuss. Good new fantasy stuff there.
The Bible, currently I'm readying the book of Genesis and the book of Acts.
The Inner Circle by Brad Meltzer on my Nook
Sagas Of The Icelanders
Walter E. Williams "More Liberty Means Less Government"
Just finishing The Art of War, and have begun thumbing through a gigantic box of National Geographics from the seventies, eighties and nineties. They came back from a demo site.
Harley Davidson owners manual. Electra Glide Ultra Limited. Boring. But important to know what all the little gizmos are. The Ol Pan is much simpeler.
My last bike was a 45cid flathead. Talk about simple!
Just finished The Last Centurion by John Ringo. I'll be digging through the bookcase to find another one this evening.
Edited for spelling. One of these days I'll remember to proofread before posting.
Hey unclearthur. Simple yeah except for that mousetrap and spark advance. Takes some getting used to. 36-to mid (66?) 60's I think. Rode a couple of ol flatties years ago. Kept you busy.
I'd like to get your old scooters big bro., a flathead 80.
Even after we reworked the engine it was a top speed of 70 down hill with a good tail wind. I sure miss that old bike.
The Honor of Spies.: W.E.B Griffin
Magician: Apprentice from Raymond E. Feist. First in the Riftwar Saga and I recommend the saga to anyone who likes fantasy. I'd put it on the same level as LOTR.
Feist is good. For fantasy silliness with an edge I love terry Pratchett.
Crazy Love by Francis Chan
Fathered by God by John Eldredge
The Railway Detective by Edward Marston
Unclearthur:
Feist is good. For fantasy silliness with an edge I love terry Pratchett.
Can't beat Terry Pratchett. Did you ever read Good Omens? The book him and Neil Gaiman did together? Fantastic.
Yep! Just gave my copy to my middle daughter. Fantastic read! Next pipe series is going to honor some of the disk world crazies.
Oh man I wish I didn't need to spend my money on baccy! Haha maybe I'll need to sell another pipe or two and fund an Unclearthur Discworld series.
I think I will honor Nanny Ogg first. Gotta love an old gal who smokes a pipe , downs gallons of drinkables and sings the Hedgehog Song.
Penthouse letters
If you make a "Detritus" pipe, I'm all in. =]
Rereading 'A Wizards First Rule' again!
Jeremiah I think that idea ROCKS! Literally !! I should make ummmm One Two, Many ..........LOTS!
I really liked Goodkind's first few books...
You might dig "The Name of the Wind," if you haven't read it already.
Yupper got it some place.
To Kill a Mocking Bird
I've read Goodkind's series twice now and waiting on his new release, now postponed to August of this year.
Right now, I'm reading The First Rule by Robert Crais. So far, an excellent book. Also, just started reading PIMO's Guide to Pipe Crafting At Home.
Recently finished reading Bram Stoker's Dracula.
Also on the docket is The Psychology of Jess Whedon

Aftershock by Robert Reich
"Tombstones Early Years" by John Myers Myers.
J.M.M. is an old west historian, and one heck of a storyteller.
He also wrote one of the greatest books on the history of the west, from the mountain man years to the wild wild west, called "Deaths of the Bravos", republished and retitled "Bravos of The West".
IMO, its one of the best nonfiction books I've ever read, can't recommend Johns work any more highly.
He also wrote a series of fantasy novels called "Silverlock" . I've not read any yet, but they are highly acclaimed.
Haven't read his historical work but Silverlock is a classic!
Has anyone read Bernard Cornwell's Arthurian legend? It's a 3 part series starting with The Winter King...
Has spectacular character building and relationships and a very realistic and interesting take on religious beliefs then and how things could've happened.
Sounds interesting . I have done a good bit of research on the historical Arthur.
Trying to finish it before the series starts on 4-17.
I just finished "Sarum" by F. Rutherfurd. A wonderful read while smoking! It follows the history of the Salisbury plain in England from the first people who got there until 1985. It is very historically accurate, it follows essentially 4 family trees through the wars, religious struggles, economic highs and lows and plagues. It is a loooooooong book and truly rewarding.
Sounds interesting pdmus.
I've forgotten this thread for a couple books, I just finished The Talisman. . .it was okay. I liked it, but I had issues with almost every chapter. Somehow I still enjoyed it. As much as I feel it will be disappointing, I think I'll read Black House next, the sequel.
Working on that one myself Sarge. Wish I could say I'm enjoying it. =|
Although I'm only about 1/3 of the way through and I've been told it's necessary to give it some time.
Finally finished the Three Musketeers and now plan to hit the bookstore today to pick up a copy of Man In The Iron Mask (the continuation of our heroes from the Musketeers). In the meantime I started up a little on The Hunchback Of Notre Dame.
@Jeremiah, I agree, the writing isn't that great. I think the accolades and comparing it to Tolkien are a little over-blown. I like a soap opera type story set in different times/places and this seems to fit the bill. I'm going to finish it up, but as for getting the other 900+ page tomes...not so sure....
Aleister Crowley's The Book Of The Law.
Just finshed Terry Pratchett's "Pyramids" for the second time. Need to go to the store and pick up another one. I've read everything he's written before, but I love the Discworld series so much I periodically reread them. That and I'm trying to get them in the original artists covers before they go out of print.
Just finished reading Nanny Ogg's Cookbook and am now reading Unseen Academicals Both by Terry Pratchett.
"The Dark Half" Stephen King.
Just finished A Farewell to Arms, it was very sad but I didn't get too into it because I just wrote my finals and am on a leisurely read kick right now. Now I'm reading Architecture in a Crowded World, also very sad, but, in a different kind of way.
Unseen Academicals is excellent Arthur. English Football and Wizards!
And, a sudden idea, a Rincewind pipe? It could be shabby as anything, with some faded stars and Wizard spelt wrongly around the middle.
Capn, have you been looking in my sketch books? LOL
Lamb by Christopher Moore
The Secret Holocaust Diaries by Nonna Lisowskaja Bannister
Haha, perhaps I have Arthur.
Currently rereading I Shall Wear Midnight by Terry Pratchett.
