Reading sherlock holmes for a second time

i am currently going through the discworld series.

I really enjoyed reading those!
Currently I am reading "An Appointment On The Moon" which tells the story of American space exploration from Robert Goddard, through the redesign of captured WWII V2 rockets, and up to Apollo 11. It was written to be released just after the first Moon landing and so contains a lot of information that tends to be glossed over these days.

Started the "Hunger Games" two nights ago. Its a page turner for sure. My wife keeps telling me to turn the light off and go to sleep I have to tell her it is her fault for starting me on a book so good I can not put it down. I wanted to read it before the movie comes out in March.

I have just recieved a copy of Confessions of a Pipeman that I ordered from the USA, Gary B. Schrier kindly signed it for me on request when ordering it, looking foreward to putting my feet up with pipe and book.

I have "Confessions of Pipe Man" on my Christmas list.

Buster, I'm listening to the audiobook of "Mockingjay", the third book in the Hunger Games series (I'm in IT, so I can listen while I work).
Excellent series and I, too, can't wait for the movie!

11-23-63 by Stephen King. I like King books, particuarly the last few and this one is written very well and a great tale. 900 pages, it's like holding a brick in each hand. I'm getting a Kindle on Sunday and this one is already loaded, looking forward to that experience.

Baskerville, POTE is a wonderful book, leagues beyond the mini-series.
Good side stories are explored in a lot more depth and, if the technical aspects of chathedral building, the culture of the time, the politics, the details of domestic life and law interest you -- they did me -- the book is a great exposition on those.

"Kitchen Confidential" by A.Bourdain

Just started the "Wheel of Time" series this week, starting book 2 tonight.

 

[mluyckx]

Love Tolkien and the entire disk world series ! Great stuff.
Currently (re-) reading Asimov's foundation series, by lack of any other fiction.

Non-fiction: "Recovering the real lost gospel" by Dr. Darrell Bock

 

[ontario]

Discworld...all of them.

 

[lordofthepiperings]

Just finished "The Sign of Four", great Holmes story. Now I'm not sure if I want to finish "Man in the Iron Mask" or head to the bookstore and start "A Game of Thrones".

 

[lordofthepiperings]

Started Game of Thrones. Really fast reading too and I have to say the book is just as good as the show.
