Miyagi-Do Karate Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Killer angels, its about Gettysburg, I love the civil war stuff. World war Z, way better than the movie Killer Angels is very good. I am not a fan of the sons' two other books which he added to the trilogy.
snafu Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 Crime and Punishment. First time is read it I was about 19. Then I re-read it abouth 30 years later. Whole different perspective. I came away thinking that Raskolnikov was a major a-hole. I started reading Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy and got lost. After about 150 pages I started over from the beginning and I'm glad for it. That's one I would read again. I want to read Treasure Island to my son soon. Then Northwest Passage.
HereComesTheReignAgain Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 I've recently started listening to books on Audible since I travel more. The Martian by Andy Weir was the most entertaining book I've ever read/listened to. I am sure I will go back to it down the road. Highly recommended.
rockpile Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 What? No Starship Troopers? Very good book; very average movie. Of course that is just my opinion.
mead107 Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 I do read some books over and over for the granddaughter
BillsPride12 Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 I don't think I've ever reread an entire book. I've re read certain portions. I've read through portions of Keith Richards' autobiography a few times as that was my bathroom reading. When I was a kid, the acid trip portion of "That Was Then, This is Now" fascinated me for some reason, and read that over and over. Aw man I forgot all about that book, one of the very few books I read in school that I remember enjoying. I think we read that in the 8th grade, I'll have to read that one again sometime
The Real Buffalo Joe Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Aw man I forgot all about that book, one of the very few books I read in school that I remember enjoying. I think we read that in the 8th grade, I'll have to read that one again sometime I read it for summer reading because the book was like, less than 200 pages. But it was really good anyway. I read it in like 3 or 4 hours.

Little off topic, but has anyone here listened to the Serial Podcast on NPR? I keep seeing how great it it, but thats a long series to listen to
