I'm reading Marching Powder by Rusty Young. It's is the story of Thomas McFadden, a small-time English drug smuggler who was arrested in Bolivia and thrown inside the notorious San Pedro prison.

Wyrd Sisters by Terry Pratchett, just light hearted comedy. He did for fantasy fiction what Douglas Adams did for science fiction.

A better question might be what books are you reading now. Or what books are you re-reading. 

I'm reading "Good questions to ask in a community forum" by General Payne.

Yes your right I watched all 3 of his movies. Just great. He has since passed but fought all the way. Between being on the keyboard and watching "good" (Pre 2000)movies not todays junk I have no time to read. Also I have a short attention span and I know "The butler did it" Been there done it and know who is doing it. Same applies to new movies. 

Power of the Dog, by Don Winslow. Am re reading it.

"Armed Madhouse" by Greg Pallast... fun and games under Bush 2. Also re reading "Satanic Verses" (such a brilliant writer. I am sure 90% of the art would be beyond understanding of the gang that condemned it) and "How Mumbo Jumbo Conquered the World" & "Strange Days Indeed: the Golden Age of Paranoia" by Francis Wheen for entertainment throughout election season.

Catch 22 by Joseph Heller

"The boy who talked to dogs" by Martin McKenna

August/September time frame I read "1Q84" by Haruki Murakami. I was very impressed with the novel.  It is part science fiction/mystery/love story/thriller.  Great book!  After that I reread "The Woman in White" by Wilkie Collins, the first mystery novel written (and probably the best, unless you consider "Moonstone", also by Collins).  Then picked up "The Good Earth" by Pearl S. Buck again.  Now I'm reading a trashy murder mystery "Torn" by Casey Hill.  Hardly worth finishing but I will anyway.

Recently read Mr. Mercedes and the sequel Finders Keepers by Stephen KIng.  Both good and I am looking forward to the final novel in the trilogy.  Also liked Motive, by Jonathan Kellerman and Storm Prey by John Sandford. 

Dixie Deans, ex Celtic players autobiography.

I like the Jack Reacher books, but Tom Cruise is badly miscast in this role, it's like Elvis playing Peltin Elton.

Made on attempt at a Reacher novel....pretty awful writing....and the author admits he does it for the money....surprise. Mainly read nonfiction. One of the best books I have ever read The Knife Man.....a fascinating study of the father of modern surgery. This Scot lived in the 1700 hundreds and had a brain that wouldn't accept the status quo. Rewrote the book on surgery, the body, and also on our understanding of animals. Also reading Ann Rule's End of the Dream. About a guy around Seattle who had amazing abilities and incredible luck, but opted for a life of crime. True story.

As for the guy who doesn't care about reading books.....amazing you can actually read TV. 555

Good book.  He lived a crazy life and it is amazing he is still around to talk about it.

I have read all the Jack Reacher novels.  But I can't get my head around 5'8"  140 pound Tom Cruise playing 6'5" 230 pound Jack Reacher.  Night School?  A new JR novel?  I will look for it.  The movie JR should be 'The Rock' Dwayne Johnson.  Tom Cruise?  No way!

 

Just finished a memoir by Daniel Ellsberg (Secrets) about his involvement in the Vietnam war and his releasing the Pentagon Papers.  Alternating between breathless and outraged while reading.  The Kite Runner is in my unread stack and I have ordered three books on Aquaponics.
