What are you reading?

Let's share book ideas!

I'm currently reading Huckleberry Finn. Haven't read it since I was a kid and, no surprise, it's a lot more complex than I remembered :). And a good traveling book!

Also highly recommended, from my just-finished pile, Motoring with Mohammed. It's nothing about war -- it's a travelogue from the 80s, about Yemen. Beautifully written.

I have just started Killing Reagan by Bill O'Rielly. Very good book.

I have been reading books on WWI. Everything from memoirs to history. I picked most of them up at garage sales or rummage sales very cheaply, knowing that sooner or latter I would want to read about the topic. I am on my fifth WWI book now and if that is not enough I might have to buy some new ones.

Wow, such good books people are reading. I have an Audible account and listen to all my books. I'm trudging through a few Steven King books myself. My husband has read nothing more than the newspaper since high school. While traveling on long trips, I subject him to Chelsea Handler. LOL! Makes us both laugh and cringe, but comedies can be tuned out without missing much.

When I was in school, I hated reading the classics. So little time to get into them and try to figure them out. A lot of those were included on my Kindle when I bought it years ago. Occasionally I read from that stash. Last year we visited Cajun country in Louisiana and I got hooked on the plight of these people. So I looked, and sure enough, "Evangeline" was included in those initial books. I read that and really enjoyed it. Will probably read it again, just to pick up on what I missed. Still not a great study of prose, but enjoyed it just the same. When you do a search about the Cajun people, this book is always the first that pops up. Not technically a history book, but a story of what life was like for many of these people.

I'm currently "reading" (actually, I've gone to "listening" most of the time) The Lincoln Lawyer. Just finished the first of Shelby Foote's Civil War trilogy, which I've wanted to read forever. Taking a break before part 2.

Reading the Blue Horizon. It's a historical non-fiction research book about the history of naval travel for the last 50,000 years of mankind. Travel began in East Asia long before the last ice age only 14000 years ago, and sea levels were much lower than now so there was so much more land between islands.

RV Net, Facebook, newspapers, and a bunch of free e-books from Overdrive, courtesy of my local free public library. Mostly mysteries, and suspense,reading not for education or quality, just to pass time. Nice part is that there are hundreds of thousands of e-books out there for free, and we can access and download from anywhere there is internet access. During my career, I had to read so much and so fast, now I read for entertainment.

I am reading "My life and work" by Henry Ford

I've just started David Baldacci's Memory Man

A nonfiction book that I highly recommend is Paul Ingrassia's Engines of Change: A History of the American Dream in Fifteen Cars

I'm reading the RV.NET Forum, and sometimes I wonder why. 🙂

[eubank]

Gosh, that's a tough one. There's just so much really good stuff out there, including as ebooks online from the public library.

BTW, the combination of RVing and mystery seems to be growing. Kind of fun to do a search for "RV mysteries" on Amazon ebooks.
