What are you reading?

Bukowski last live reading on CD.  Kind of hooks you to ear what he will say next. A slow Lenny Bruce with a bottle of wine.

I watched a good doc. on Bukowski on Netflix. Awesome writer.

Just picked up an new one by Orson Scott Card "The first Formic War" sequel to Earth unaware from the Enders Game series. should be good.

Just finished Ryk Browns "Celesti: CV-02" (Ep. 8 Frontiers Saga) on my kindle.
Good sci-fi. 
I like the fact that kindle provides an outlet for indie writers, some are really good. I think the days of major publishing houses (and all the politics that it used to take to get published) are numbered.

I'm a real sucker for Nordic Noir...
Scandinavian mystery novels, if you will...
I feel like our friends in the North have a good grasp on dark and enigmatic characters.
I'm currently in the midst of the "Harry Hole" novels by Jo Nesbo. I know, it's a TERRIBLE name for a character... but the books are great.

Check out the Red Breast if you're in the US... That would be book 1.

They are quick reads.

"The Reader" author Bernhard Schlink, I seen the show and liked it and I think seeing the show made the book better which is usually not the case.  I am waiting for the library to get his other books.

I just requested "Doctor Proctor's fart powder" from the library.  Now that is an interesting title!  Are the "Snowman" and "Leopard" worth a listen?

I would imagine so. If you haven't read or listened to any of them yet, I would go Redbreast, Nemesis, and Devil's Star. It's a three-part series with an intertwining deeper conflict. I really truly enjoyed them, and read all three in ten days.

If you wanted to do Snowman and Leopard, go in this order: The Redeemer, The Snowman, The Leopard. I just started the Redeemer, and I believe it's another 3-part series, based on what I can gather from reviews and the cover art.

i just finally finished the 'new' dune books, ending with Winds of Dune.


Right now I'm reading William Gibsons's Zero History.
Not sure what to think so far.

Feast For Crows, 4th book in the Song Of Ice and Fire. Series Game of Thrones is based on.

[Buckethead]

Just finished re-reading the first two of the King Killer Chronicles (Name of the Wind; Wise Man's Fear) by Patrick Rothfuss.

Frothing at the mouth waiting for #3 to come out next year.

Easily some of the best-written fantasy novels ever.

If By Sea - The Forging the American Navy - From the Revolution to the War of 1812 by George C. Daughan.

I was looking for something about John Paul Jones, and ended up with the above. Just started, but interesting and well written.

Working my way through the James Bond books. Most of the way through Goldfinger and already have For Your Eyes Only downloaded to my kindle and ready to start in on as soon as I finish that one.

Steven Tylers "Does the noise in my head bother you", Richards Americanized twin brother and he might survive the Nuc blast along with Keith.  His life is a high side at 2000 mph.

Does anyone listen to books?  I go through a lot of them on the road and working the monotonous jobs at my shop, requested online and free from the friendly local library.

Just finishing up "earth afire" from the Ender wiggins series. just came out.
