    What are You Reading Now?

    I just read CP Snow's Homecomings from his Strangers and Brothers series. Not as good as some of his earlier books IMHO. Currently reading Mr. Lincoln's Army by Catton, O Jerusalem by Lapierre and Collins (about the beginning of Israel), and Oliver Wiswell by Roberts (about the American...

    What are You Reading Now?

    I agree, Child's Reacher series and Sandford's Prey series are excellent, with some better than others of course. Connelly's Bosch series, especially the earlier stuff, is also very good. One of my favorite series is Richard Stark's Parker series. If I had to pick one of these series, I'd pick...

    What are You Reading Now?

    My desert island selection. The 20 novels are incredible. I've read them through six times. (Maybe I shouldn't admit that.)

    Fountain Pens.

    Noodles Blue Black is Very dark. I prefer their Midnight Blue. Pilot and Pelican also make very nice Blue Blacks.

    Fake Luxury Pens

    If I had to pick a favorite pen, I think I would chose my Pilot Custom 912 with a soft fine nib. I bought it from Japan via Ebay wherre there are a lot of very reputable sellers for Japanese pens. The soft fine nib is amazing because it has some "flex". I just checked Jetpens and this pen is...

    Fake Luxury Pens

    This Jinhao is pretty amazing for the price. I have almost 200 fountain pens and I’m really enjoying this one. I think I paid $10 for it on Amazon. The nib needed a little smoothing to make it the way I like it but it was fine out of the box.

    School Me on Dunhill London Mixture

    It’s wonderful IMHO. A little more orientals than most other Latakia blends. It’s a classic.

    Ser Jacopo

    One of my favorites.

    Classic Sansom from 2009 in a Savinelli Autograph #5

    Amazon's Rings of Power.

    I think the worst aspect of this series is it is slow and boring. They seem to be stretching this out to be a six season series instead of what should probably be one.

    Rattray 3 Noggins

    I'm just curious what other's here think of Rattray's 3 Noggins. It doesn't get many mentions. Sometimes I enjoy it and other times I've just found it OK. My tins are aged so that may have improve them. I see Jimlnks review from a few years ago on Tobacco Reviews was less than enthusiastic...
