Title: What non-golf books have you been reading lately? Post by: spacey on May 04, 2007, 03:00:52 PM To avoid jacking Julie's golf books thread, I thought this might be an interesting topic (assuming anyone here actually reads books).

Starship Troopers, Robert Heinlein Next on the docket: Little Big Man, Thomas Berger The March of Folly: From Troy to Vietnam, Barbara Tuchman Good Omens, Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. (I read this about once a year.) Title: Re: What non-golf books have you been reading lately? Post by: Clive on May 04, 2007, 03:12:12 PM Can they be work-related?
Title: Re: What non-golf books have you been reading lately? Post by: spacey on May 04, 2007, 03:13:06 PM Can they be work-related? Only if the titles contain fewer than a dozen syllables.Title: Re: What non-golf books have you been reading lately? Post by: E-A-G-L-E! on May 04, 2007, 03:17:58 PM Let's see, besides my Bible, currently I have been reading a lot of books by Lori Wick and a ton of crochet patterns (working on a dolly for Chelsea - but when I take out crochet patterns, I have to look at more than just the one I'm working on).
Um, the most recent books are: Moonlight on the Millpond The Princess The Hawk and the Jewel The Proposal The Rescue The Visitor The Pursuit Title: Re: What non-golf books have you been reading lately? Post by: dystopia on May 04, 2007, 03:24:23 PM 2. High Tech Start Up, John L. Nesheim

Title: Re: What non-golf books have you been reading lately? Post by: BobA on May 04, 2007, 10:52:57 PM The books I've read in the last couple of months:
A False Spring by Pat Jordan. My favorite sports book. I read it (or at least a few chapters) every year around opening day. All The Kings Men by Robert Penn Warren and three Civil War novels: Cold Mountain by Charles Frazier The Black Flower by Howard Bahr The Widow of the South by Robert Hicks Title: Re: What non-golf books have you been reading lately? Post by: campy on May 04, 2007, 11:06:47 PM Moby *8==>*
Tortilla Flats Of Mice and Men...read it for at least the 40th time To Kill A Mockingbird...My favorite book. I keep reading it trying to 100% understand it. Part of me thinks I'm shallow, and 'm looking for something that is not there, but the other part thinks that it is too good of a book to grasp everything...Not sure. All I know is I will turn 39 this year, and though at times I feel 19, I am beginning to understand my life is half over and it sucks...so I seek the things that make me feel young again. Like books.

Post by: hobbit on May 07, 2007, 07:59:15 AM Founding Brothers by Joseph Ellis To be followed by either Prey by Crichton or The Bourne Ultimatum (final in the series) by Ludlum - both are waiting patiently on my nightstand. Ah forgot - the one before Founding Brothers was 'On The Wealth of Nations' by P.J. O'Rouke. A nice read on Adam Smith's classic original (good for those that would find the lengthy original a difficult read - myself included ;) ). By the way - I'm really loving 'Founding Brothers', its a period that piques my interest and the writing is very good. |
