Whatchoo readin'?

Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus is very popular in my house. I have read that cover to cover in one evening on more than one occasion...

As for big boy books, I am currently reading Clapton: The Autobiography. It has a little too much psycho-babble for me (a result of many years of therapy, I would guess...) but it is surprisingly candid and honest (as far as I can tell).

I know it's not real heady, but I am getting ready to apply to some grad schools, so I'll have plenty of heady coming up soon...

For him, better psycho-babble than booze or worse. I'm going to read it next.

There's somebody who probably couldn't have imagined, in 1969, that someday he would be a happy fly-fisher living in Columbus, OH.

We are book people and bought most of the set of classics from Barnes and Noble early in the summer. We ended up with a litter over a hundred new books. I'm interspersing a classic every so often with my usual fare of trashy sci fi novels. I just finished "City of Pearl" by Karen Traviss, and just started "David Copperfield". Of course "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" took up two' days this summer.

I'm so busy at work, I haven't had time for much reading. I'm trying to find a few moments for Mark Duginske's:
The New Complete Guide to the Band Saw: Everything You Need to Know About the Most Important Saw in the Shop.

Just now getting into the real "meat" of it, so I can't comment on the merits of the book yet.

Dragon

Dragon
One of Clive Cussler's Dirk Pitt novels. It's the third one that I've read so far. Brainless fun read.

Lots of Dr. Seuss, and Disney Princess books. Bedtime stories for the kids are the best.

Sparky,

I generally prefer detective or courtroom novels to SF. I was without a book last week. So, I went to the boxes of books stored here "temporarily" by my son. I found Footfall.

I was suprised to see that 21 years had not dated this book. What fun. I became rather fond of the Snouts. I guess I will have to try Motes next. Any suggestions?

With a 2 year old, a wife, football season, a job and woodworking magazines -- my ADDITIONAL reading is down to what can be accomplished during restroom visits.....haha

Currently plodding my way through 600 pages of The Worst Journey in the World. Scott's (fatal) trip to the South Pole in the early 1900's.

[Stan]

[cgallery]

For this weekend (short read, only 200 pages): The Supermen--The Story of Seymour Cray and the Technical Wizards behind the Supercomputer

I have only read maybe a dozen larger pieces of fiction in my entire life. At least I think I've only read about a dozen. You kinda have to take authors at their word.

I real an awful lot of biographies.

Nowadays I am reading one full book each evening, sometimes even able to finish a couple of books.

Yesterday it was 'Arthur in a Pickle' and 'Rumpelstiltskin', the day before it was 'Dont let the Pigeon drive the Bus!', and 'Are you my mom?', before that...

What - you meant the other books? Well, I am unable to recall anything beyond the past 5 years, so this will take some time...

'The Very Hungry Caterpillar' & 'Curious George & the Dump Truck' are current staples.

It comes in handy in the middle of a 5 hour car ride & someone gets upset. I've discovered there is some benefit to being able to recite several Veggietales books while driving.

As for my reading, I have Field & Stream, American Hunter, Wood Magazine, & Workbench. In addition, I am partway through the following books:

First Break All the Rules
The Bear & the Dragon
The New Dare to Discipline

I recently finished (& will be going back through) 'The Very Best Baby Name Book'
