What are You Reading Now?

Just started rereading 1984, I like to revisit some classics from time to time. And using Noodler's Ink 1984 in a fountain pen for the journal today, just to pull it all together. I love inks inspired by literature, not unlike tobacco inspired by literature.

I’m rereading Island right now
I’m probably going to read Brave New World next and then maybe 1984.

I'm currently reading Stinger by Robert McCammon. I'm about 1/4 way into it and am enjoying it so far.

Last week I read Boy's Life and Swan Song. They are both fantastic.

I just checked out that review of Boys Life. Sounds really good. I’ll have to pick up a copy.

It is an amazing take on the coming of age story. I was surprised to find it included with my Kindle Unlimited subscription.

'Whiskey When We're Dry' by Larison. It's good enough to keep reading - about 75 pages in.

Read two books by Pollock this month: 'Heavenly Table' and 'The Devil all the Time'. He has a unique writing style and some weird stuff going on his head.

'American Massacre' two weeks ago - couldn't put it down.

Gone South was pretty good, same vein



This was also enjoyable.

I'm re-reading the Lord of the Rings trilogy but I read the original american version in youth. Apparently Tolkien edited a final version and that seems to be the one i am reading now. Some sections seem different but maybe I am confusing information I gleened from the appendices in the prior version. I also bought Bernard Cornwall's 1356 but haven't started it yet. The jacket reviews indicate it may be quite violent with swordplay. Fictionalized battle in the 100 yrs war.

Blood Meridian although it's a bit too violent for my tastes.

Technological Slavery by Theodore John Kaczynski, better known as the Unabomber.

The Third Reich in Power by Richard J.Evans.

Fantastic read - I found it so interesting.

Just finished this one. Very good look at the ending of WWII from the perspective of people in the 'liberated' zones, and the hardship they went through. Not much on the German experience however.



Currently re-reading this little sci-fi novel about mysterious monuments appearing marking future victories of a warlord named Kuin.

It comes in ebbs and flows, over the last 5 days off I’ve gone through the first 3 Reacher books. Killing Floor, Die Trying and Tripwire. Reading a good book to me is like watching a movie that you cast the actors hope you see them, Amazon did a fantastic job with The Killing Floor.

It’s only gotten way worse in the 40 years since publication.
