BOOKS: What are you reading?

[JackinSea]

I'm finishing ARMADALE by Wilkie Collins.

I'm also reading PROCLUS by Radek Chlup, and rereading THE RISE AND FALL OF ANCIENT EGYPT by Toby Wilkinson.

If you learned of Armadale in a book discussion thread at another site, I'm probably the one who originally recommended it there.

FINALLY finished THE DAYLIGHT WaR by Peter V Brett. Had the book for years.

I heard about Wilkie Collins in an English class. I loved THE MOONSTONE and THE LADY IN WHITE.

Can recommend Collins' No Name and Poor Miss Finch as well.

Thank you! I will definitely check those out.

Can You Ever Forgive Me? by Lee Israel

"...I had to abandon...Bette Davis (she wanted me to co-author one of her several autobiographies, and when people asked me what had finally gone wrong with the project, I told them “I yelled back!”)..."

"...I had to abandon...Bette Davis (she wanted me to co-author one of her several autobiographies, and when people asked me what had finally gone wrong with the project, I told them “I yelled back!”)..."

I listened to the audiobook of that one red by the actress Jane Curtin a while back. Definitely worth the time.

The Death of an Heir - Adolph Coors III and the Murder That Rocked an American Brewing Dynasty by Phillip Jett (2017)

Bit of a slow start, but it’s picking up steam.

 

[Jacquemar]

I'm on the last few pages of THE GRAND DESIGN by Stephen Hawking. It's a little far fetched.

I just finished reading Wasted: A Memoir of Anorexia and Bulimia, now I'm reading An Apple a Day: A Memoir of Love and Recovery from Anorexia. It's all part of my research for a college essay on eating disorders.

As for leisure, I'm currently following a comic book series called Coffin Bound. I'm not much of a comic book guy, but its nihilistic and gritty themes caught my interest, then my attention.

Haven't really been reading books lately, mostly just reading novelettes and shorts stories on sfbc.com.

Just finished reading In September by Aimee Ogden.
