I couple of these were downloaded on my Kindle.
'As Wind in Dry Grass,' by H. Grant Llewellyn. Apocalyptic fiction...not for the faint of heart, but a good story none the less.
'High Desert Barbecue,' by J.D. Tuccille. Not bad, not good. When you're bored out of your friggen mind you'll read whats available..it was recommended so I was stuck with it.
For the foodies out there, 'Nobody Knows The Truffles I've Seen,' by George Lang. This is a biography of the great restauranteur, Lang. The first section of the book deals with the atrocities, lives of the Hungarian Jews, at the hands of the Nazis leading up to and during World War two. Yes, I've eclectic taste in literature.
I was well into, 'Deep Winter' by Thomas Sherry when I was discharged/escaped from the hospital. It was my forth or fifth reading. Highly recommended. It suffers for the lack of edit work, but its still a good adventure. Again, apocalyptic fiction set in eastern Washington State.

Now see last time we were at the Board Nest I saw a copy of "Winne the Pooh and Tigger too" next to your rack.
ReplyDeleteBubba, it was research material. Besides, Pooh makes a good read before rack time.
ReplyDeleteEclectic is good. Pooh is definitely good. After finishing "One Second After", I needed Pooh.
ReplyDeleteThe book sure can get to a person, can't it. Thanks, ProudHillBilly.
DeleteOne Second After affects many in the same way...thanks, my friend.
DeleteNice reading list. The last 3 books I have read were bedtime stories for a 3 year old. I think they were "Rain" "Curious George and the Puppies", and "Atlas Shrugged".
ReplyDeleteOK, I'm joking on the last one.
BTW, You have been awarded!

Thank you, my friend. I've been awarded the same twice today...if they're not careful I'll get the big head.
DeleteLike you said, you read whatever's available, when necessary. Books - the real, tangible paper products - will be at a premium when the grid goes down & all those Kindles go, um, white.
ReplyDeleteRev...Lord knows I have enough of those real paper and clothe covered books to last me a lifetime...you have a good point though on the Kindles..they will indeed go white.
DeleteThanks for the book recommendations. I have several on my list of 'must read' and now will add the Deep Winter Series. I have read One Second After, and it really caught my attention!
ReplyDeleteI just caught up on your last couple of entries...Little Bit sounds so precious! She is a pretty little girl.
Blessings on your recovery and being at peace.
You're welcome, Sweet Lady. I must admit I did not like the third book in the Deep Winter series and haven't read beyond that point. The second is good.
DeleteThank you for the nice comments about Little Bit, she is my heart. God bless you too.
That's a very interesting and... eclectic list. I don't remember, but well there's the list anyway. :) My book variety on the shelf is across the spectrum. Like That Guy, the largest stack of books I've read lately are from the notorious Dr. Seuss. I have read "The Cat in the Hat" going on eleventy million times. The oldest has the whole thing memorized and that's not a joke. Thanks for the book list and I guess I need to break down and get a Kindle. I hate the idea of not having those books.
ReplyDeleteMy son (8) likes books with a Dragon theme. We just started Eragon.
ReplyDeleteI am so backed up on books now it is not funny. I think I mentioned that I was reading Earth Abides. It is interesting, but not a fast read.
