I’m reading this right now. I saw the movie years ago and I liked it.

[El Capitán]

I've been reading the Poetic Edda

 

[Infantry23]

I just started Master & Commander on audiobook. Thought I'd be able to get thru a lot of it on a 10hr trip to SC, but was frequently interrupted by kids asking "how much longer?" so I stopped for now ?

Pilgrim in the Ruins: A Life of Walker Percy by Jay Tolson.

 

[autumnfog]

Re-reading The Godfather by Mario Puzo.

 

[Servant King]

Rich Dad, Poor Dad, by Robert Kiyosaki (1997). Fascinating to basically go back in time a quarter century, before the housing bubble (the first one, not the current one!), and even before the dot-com bubble. I'm only three chapters in, but I'm looking forward to reading his other book, Unfair Advantage, after this one, which came out in 2011 (ostensibly between bubbles). Fascinating perspective, I must say, and one of the few so-called "experts" who understands the difference between an asset and a liability...seriously!

I’m currently reading Mookie: Life, Baseball and the ‘86 Mets by Mookie Wilson.

A guy at work constantly brings this book up in conversation. Maybe I'll finally borrow his copy and give it a try

The Incognito Lounge was a short book of poetry. Now for something longer.

Christina Stead, The Man Who Loved Children

 

[edger]

Damn, but this is a quiet thread. Is reading that “old school”?
Inspired by my latest PAD weakness, I bought two old Brulor Mowbray French pipes from the 1950’s and to accompany them I just ordered the first omnibus addition of the first four Maigret novels. All the novels were recently translated by a bevy of people hired by Penguin. This should be great fun!
