All of R.A Salvatores books based on the Character Drizzt. If you love Tolkien then you will love Salvatore as. Well. Great reads.

Got an email at work about this containing Classified Info. Whoops, I guess ol boy didn't clear it through Public Affairs office prior publishing it. I'm sure several are unhappy about the way he handled this one.

The Hobbit by Tolkien

“After some time he felt for his pipe. It was not broken, and that was something. Then he felt for his pouch, and there was some tobacco in it, and that was something more."
I like how light and carefree the overall ambiance of the "adventure" is. This quote pops into my head every time I think about smoking when I'm at work.

Martin Windrow, "The Last Valley", the French Defeat at Dien Bien Bhu.

Three fourths of the way through Daniel Dafoe's, "Robinson Crusoe" and I'm astonished by it's political incorrectness, spirituality and God-awful 1700's prose. But, like Melville's "Moby Dick," if you can get through the first 300 pages then you've got a pretty good read on your hands.
@Bukowski - Seriously, man? Chuck Bukowski?
I've never understood this tortured artist shit that reality can't be embraced without turning your liver into a piece of granite or sliding through life unless spikes of Mexican brown heroin are hanging out of your forearms.

[hobie1dog]

Taking a break from reading, burned out on books for now.

 

[chops]

Just finished "It's Even Worse Than It Looks" by Mann/Ornstein - I highly recommend it to all US citizens. Also just finished "Hope, Human & Wild" by Bill McKibben.

A couple of days ago I'm sitting on a gas line and I had this paperback called Absolute Power by David Baldacci. I don't usually read these kinds of books ( I like think I read more "heady" stuff). Well a few pages into this book and I'm hooked. Political intrigue, sex, cops, burglars, etc. I can't put this book down. I need to be less of a snob in my reading literature. The other thing I'm reading is Quicksilver by Neal Stephenson. 800+ pages of words.....all small print. Its fiction about the Age of Enlightenment and what might have been involved in all the scientific discoveries of the time. Stephenson is a masterful writer. Baldacci is like a good McDonald hamburger (quick food but good) and Stephenson is a 5 course meal.

I am currently reading The Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan. Along with Tolkien, Robert Jordan was another influence in getting me to finally pick up the pipe and start puffing away.

I'm a Book Worm. I always have been. Currently, I am reading several books all at once. I am part of the way through: "Say Everything How blogging began, what it's becoming and why it matters", "The Perfect Smoke: Gourmet Pipe Smoking for Relaxation and Reflection", "Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion", "Words That Work: It's Not What You Say, It's What People Hear", and I have 4 more queued up after these.

Currently I'm about 250pgs into Dance With Dragons. This one is definitely better to me than book four Feast For Crows, mainly because my favorite characters are in this one and weren't in FFC.
