I am reading all the Little House on the Prairie books with my daughter. They should be required reading for every American.

Lots of advice from functional illiterates here. What's that all about? You peruse a copy of the Red Eye on the Blue Line a couple times a week and you read Fahrenheit 451 back in high school and you think you're dispensing advice to guys who graduated from the University of Illinois with English degrees? Ohhh-kaaay.

I would not call it good but I am reading game Change. Wow,could they suck Obamas cock any more. About the only thing they got correct so far is that they admit the media took it easy on him. Almost halfway through and no Palin ,yet the movie was about slamming her?

I definitely want to read this! Finally finished the Stieg Larsson trilogy...loved it...hated that it had to end. Lately I've just been reading pure smut....no excuses...just in a phase. :oops:

Did some light reading earlier when I read The Godfather. Good read if you have never read it. It also goes into details on certain things that they didn't in the movie and some of the things in the movie that were very detailed were not as big in the book.


The Last Don is real good too.

I've been completely unable to read lately, but I did start The Path Between The Seas and I'm enjoying it so far. I'm a sucker for popular history and I have a soft spot for the history of transportation (highways, railroads, canals, etc.)

Got caught up with the Song of Fire & Ice series, read The Mauritius Command and Desolation Island from the Aubrey/Maturin series, and I'm currently reading The Wise Man's Fear, which is book 2 of The Kingkiller Chronicles trilogy. If you're into fantasy, definitely grab The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss. It's excellent.

YES! The Name of the Wind is great. I've been getting all my friends who read Song of Fire and Ice to read that one.
