Will begin tonight.

I'm just about done with Rex Stout's The Golden Spiders, a Nero Wolfe mystery. My group of Wolfe admirers is reading the entire corpus in order.

 

[ssjones]

Just finished this, but very disappointing.

 

[eslavs]

Just started For Whom the Bell Tolls after stalling out on The Stand.....

 

[smudgersmissingleg]

Just read Fear and loathing in Las Vegas again, definitely one of my favourite novels ever. Hunter S. Thompson really was a one off and lived an incredible life.

Just started For Whom the Bell Tolls after stalling out on The Stand.....

IN my opinion, For Whom the Bell Tolls is the best of Papa and of that generation.

 

[lochinvar]

I just started a reread of The Lord of the Rings, a biography on Andre the Giant and I'm still puttering around in Jung.

 

[Spinkle]

Just started reading "Socialism: An Economic and Sociological Analysis" by Ludwig von Mises.

 

[brut666]

Lord of the rings, again ?

 

[judcole]

Oliver Twist. Every time I read Dickens, I enjoy it and vow to read more, but it always takes forever for me to do so.

 

[ssjones]

Very good so far. A woman is granted immortality, but it has a lot of catches.

"The Duel," by Joseph Conrad.
Just finished reading "Freya,Of The Seven Isles ",also by Conrad.

 

[carlomarx]

" Resolute: the epic search for the Northwest Passage, John Franklin, and the discovery of the Queen's ghost ship" by Martin W Sandler

 

[beezer]

- Introducing Covenant Theology by Michael Horton
- Jesus and the Last Supper by Brant Pitre

 

[hairvise]

Just finished The Man Who Wasn’t Maigret. This biography of George Simenon is absolutely fascinating. It’s a must read for anyone who enjoys the Belgian detective.

 

[Raylan]

Undaunted Courage about the Lewis and Clark Expedition by Stephen Ambrose.

 

[Merton]

just finished "One, Two, Three, Four: The Beatles in Time" by Craig Brown (American version is, I believe, titled "150 Glimpses of the Beatles"). I have read many books about the Beatles and their music and this, by far, the very best. At first, I did not like it inasmuch as the author has created sort of a non-linear biography form which is made up of many relatively brief snapshots. This is sort of instagram on the page. After reading for a bit, I adapted to what he is doing and, before long, was really enjoying it. If you don't know much about the Beatles this will be very informative and entertaining. If you know a good deal already you will know some of the information but will undoubtedly be surprised by something new. In many ways this is, because of the format, a perfect nightstand book. However, it is awfully hard to put down...

Been working on the secret Santa thread for a few hours...
