read two western novels last night while at work...
"Comanche Brothers" and another "Logane Legacy". I was sitting in my truck for over 12 hours watching over the front of a shop...

btw, nobody took the front of the shop while I was there... lol

reading a book now about two destroyers in WW!! that went thru a warp of some sort. Doesn't appear to be a time warp, per se, but a dimensional (?) warp of some sort. Interesting..

"Into the Storm" by Taylor Anderson

I have been told that there are more books in the series???
=============================
"The Fly On The Wall" by Tony Hillerman

God Bless You, Mr Rosewater by Kurt Vonnegut

I actually have an obsession with Vonnegut. I just love his style of writing so much...I don't have time to explain further unfortunately because I must get ready for work D:

"Painted Ladies" by Robert B. Parker A Spencer novel...

=======================

finished "The Rembrandt Affair" by Daniel Silva

=======================

now reading a book of short western stories..

Let The Right One In by John Lindqvist.

It's an amazing book, and completely different to anything I've read before, but so very dark. There's lots of paedophiles, and people getting mutilated and just...odd, odd stuff. I do feel it's a book that pushes your boundaries on some pretty nasty subjects, but it balances all that with the beautiful friendship between Oskar and Eli. There's such innocence in the book, but also so much darkness that the contrast is really quite something.

I've seen the swedish film adaptation as well and it blows you away. It manages to capture the essence so beautifully. Last night I saw the American version, and welll...I'll add to that in the film thread.

"Op-Center: Divide and Conquer" Tom Clancy

I recently started Miss Smilla's Feeling for Snow by Peter Høeg. I haven't got far with it yet so I'm not sure what to say at the moment.

In the last couple of days I've also been reading Machine of Death, which is a collection of short stories centred around a machine that tells people what their cause of death will be from a drop of blood, often in a frustratingly vague manner. It's really interesting how the contributors each interpret it differently and create different worlds based on it accordingly. And it's often pretty funny too.

Linger by Maggie Stiefvater.

So far it's not quite as good as Shiver, but it's still pretty interesting. It's a werewolf book, which I wouldn't ordinarily read, but Stiefvater started writing it before Twilight even came out so it isn't a stupid knock-off. It's also pretty poetic sometimes, which is goodgoodgood.

"London Match" by Len Deighton

read these a couple of days ago...

"The Unpleasant Profession of Johnathon Hoag" by Robert Heinlein (short stories)

"The Kings of San Carlos" by James L. Haley

edit:
Did some checking and I was right. John P. Clum, the main character in this story, WAS an indian agent in the late 1800's and was in charge of the San Carlos Apache Reservation for a time. The book is a novel, but based on real happenings. I enjoyed it very much...

btw, Clum was the only man to capture the Apache chieftain Geronimo at gunpoint.

Maybe 20 of the titles I don't recognize, but that doesn't necessarily mean that I haven't read them at one time or another...

WOW. I'm saving that site...

I would totally reread the seventh one before seeing the movie, buuuuut I feel compelled to read them all in order and there is no way I'm waiting until I have the time to finish all seven to see the new movie. BUT I will have it read before part two.

They're so easy and so good. <3

hahaha, fen, I CAN read upside down and backwards, a little trick I learned in print-shop classes way back in high school, The hardest letters to read that way were b,q,d,p.

(snicker), but I prefer to read my books 'in order, rather than last to first.

I find it, I don't know the word I'm looking for, odd?, disturbing?, something like that, when I read about something that has happened in a prior book that I know about. Like trying to read HP from last to first.

Reading the 4th is the Destroyermen series by Taylor Anderson, "Distant Thunders". unfortunately, I think that this is the last in the series...

I have enjoyed this series very much because I can relate to the naval part of the story, which is a lot, from being an old Navyman myself...

=====================
EDIT:
BTW, I have no qualms about double-posting when there have been a few days since my prior post. I hope nobody objects and I do try to keep it to a minimum...
