The one book on the list I will most likely have a look at is: The War: An Intimate History, 1941-1945

Only got to read a couple of books this month, to busy doing other stuff. Hope to catch up on my reading this month. Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows - J.K. Rowling 3.5/5 The Straw Men - Michael Marshall 3/5

Glad to hear you came through okay. It can get pretty scary. I don't like tornados either. Went through a couple when I was a kid growing up on the farm. Once when I was 13, part of the roof of our house was ripped off. Lots of cleaning up and repairs, but thankfully, no one was hurt.

Nope, not a "club" where you have to buy anything, I don't like those. This is all free, they don't even sell the books you might like, you are on your own to get them. Thanks for the quote comment, it's something I heard in an old U2 song and has stuck with me.

No catch that I have noticed. I have been receiving their emails for awhile now, not getting any spam or garbage because of it. Just getting samples of books to read and maybe will find one worth getting I may have not known about. I actually found out about it from my library, they are...

Don't know if any of you have heard of this website. You can sign up and everyday they send you a bit of a book to read by email. By the end of the week, you have received 1 or 2 chapters to sample and the next week they start a new book. It's another way to maybe find a book you would like to...

Happy B-day AquaBlue. Wishing you many more years of book reading ahead. I'm right behind you on the 41 thing. Will turn 41 this Dec.

Welcome, looks like you enjoy the same type of books as I do. I also agree with you on the paperback - hardcover thing too. Hope to see you on the boards.

Sask Trends Monitor Tracking economic, social and demographic trends from a Saskatchewan perspective.

Good luck on this, hope all goes well. Are there any real risks with this procedure?

Gods & Myths of Ancient Egypt by Robert A. Armour Library used book sale, hardcover for $1

Big Stuff - Billie Holiday

It is called My Side of the Mountain by Jean George. Here is the description from Amazon: Every kid thinks about running away at one point or another; few get farther than the end of the block. Young Sam Gribley gets to the end of the block and keeps going--all the way to the Catskill...

My favorite old movie would be The Day The Earth Stood Still from the 50's. Not a lot of action, but a good commentary on nuclear weapons at the time.

Black Black Heart - David Usher

Working, getting ready for a good long weekend. Monday is a holiday here in Canada. Going to be lots of BBQing, beer drinking and of course book reading. I may even do some yard work to keep the wife happy. Hey AquaBlue, hope the book you are reading now is better than your last one. I read...

I have had this book for awhile, and really want to read it, but just have not found the time. Have you read his "sequel" to it? The Religion War

I would have to agree with Zen. I think I get it from actually getting the book. Especially if it is an older one I want and I finally find it at some used book shop in good condition.

Just wondering how long people wait to start a new book after finishing one. I usually start one the next day.
