I've just started reading 'The Goldfinch' by Donna Tartt
It's soooooooooo good, completely addictive, I don't want to put it down.

I am finally reading Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card.
I have seen it on the shelves at book stores for years and the cover never appealed to me nor did the synopsis. Well, I was wrong, it is a really good read. I am looking forward to exploring the other books in the series. I like the clean prose that Orson Scott Card writes in, not too sappy and full of pointless description yet still captures the bare bones of the moment so I am able to see the characters world.

I am waiting for that next great book that drags me in and has me reeling for weeks and months. But for now, I'm filling that gap with various stuff. Currently I am reading an old, old book by Lord Dunsany called "The King of Elfland's Daughter."

The only reading I've been doing lately has been school reading.
The last book I read was Stormcaller, and the sequel to Apocalypse Z (I know there are many out there but I can't remember the name of the author, think he is from Cuba). I am itching to get into a good, long book. I also read Ender's Game and enjoyed it, was a nice light read! |

Juicy Books.
"Running & Being" by George Sheehan, M.D.
This classic finally re-printed...he was a poet in sensibility and his writing has been missed. "The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle" by Haruki Murakami juicy, juicy, juicy writing. Greco |

James McBride's latest novel: The Good Lord Bird (Aug. 2013).
I was a friend's house recently and saw McBrides' book laying on the coffee table and picked it up, browsing the introductory pages and asked if I could borrow it to read. I don't ordinarily read novels but was his first book (The Color of Water) impressed me deeply, so I wanted to explore his latest book. I'm reading it slowly... not just turning page after page, but more along the lines of filtering the story from my own life's narrative, which is not without bias, but I'm attempting to read it from the authors' perspective, with the idea possibly centering around unspoken, least heard perspective, historical narratives that often are not talked about. Like in the book Unholy Night (Seth Grahame-Smith, 2012): Another book, novel, a re-telling of an iconic historical event, via a creative intrepretative approach. Which was a very good book. I'm reading both books (actually).

I just finished The Enchanted World... The Book of Christmas. This book seems to cover about every angle of the history behind this holiday. It is amazing how much as sprouted out of that wintry gloom of Scandinavia. I learned that the most common gift in the old days were candles.

I just read Neil Gaiman's 'The Ocean at the End of the World' - it was great, very compelling, a modern day fairytale... of sorts, in that Gaiman dark and twisty kind of way. I read it in a few hours.
I'm still thinking about Donna Tartt's 'The Goldfinch' which was AMAZING!!! And now I'm not sure what I'll read next...maybe Donna Tartt's 'Secret History' I haven't read it since I was 23.

Speaker for the Dead by Orson Scott Card
This is the 2nd book in the Ender series. It is very different than Ender's Game in tone and style. I am enjoying it and OSC still has an economy of word that I enjoy.

I am finally at the end of "I Know This Much is True" by Wally Lamb! I have attempted to read this 3 times and always give up about 4 chapters in. I have about 40 pages left.
It was worth it! I am also reading "The Great Path of Awakening: The Classic Guide to Lojong, a Tibetan Buddhist Practice for Cultivating the Heart of Compassion". It's really wonderful and so very calming. My "bathroom book" is "Empty Mansions: The Mysterious Life of Huguette Clark and the Spending of a Great American Fortune" by Bill Dedman. Fascinating so far!!

Dead Mountain: The Untold True Story of the Dyatlov Pass Incident
by Donnie Eichar In February 1959, a group of nine experienced hikers in the Russian Ural Mountains died mysteriously on an elevation known as Dead Mountain. Eerie aspects of the incident—unexplained violent injuries, signs that they cut open and fled the tent without proper clothing or shoes, a strange final photograph taken by one of the hikers, and elevated levels of radiation found on some of their clothes—have led to decades of speculation over what really happened. i'm about 2/3 through so i can't give an opinion on the authors final explanation of the incident but i have found the book to be quite enthralling |
