Dako Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Last week I read two Saul Bellow novels, Dangling Man and The Victim. Both were so engrossing I read Ravelstein yesterday and will pick up Augie March and Herzog this week. For an old guy, he can really write. Somewhere I read Artie Lange's Too Fat to Fish. A fluffy celeb indulgence by Howard Stern's sidekick. Self-indulgent slob without pretense. Not much on TV lately. Link to comment

Im currently reading a book from a very similar author, "Godmother", its about the life of the godmother from Cinderella, very good!!! Link to comment
Cognitive_Canine Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Reading frenzy this weekend. I'm so happy that I felt so inspired as to read as much as I have. Haven't had this in years. I read "twilight, finished "the omnivores dilemma", "Brisingr", read half of "Freakonimcs", and got about 50 pages into "the prophet". I also made a list of all the books I own but haven't read. It's only 16 books (I'm counting the Narnia cronicles as one book and the hitchhikers guide as one book). I thought for sure it'd be in the 30's. Link to comment

Cognitive_Canine Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Re-reading the Harry Potter books for the third time. Now on The Goblet of Fire. I love those books! I plan on rereading them all before the last movie comes out. It's so much fun! Those books are great and I can appreciate them as both an adult and a child. Link to comment

Those books are great and I can appreciate them as both an adult and a child. The third time around I am also focusing on how she wrote the books...introducing certain things that will become important later on in that book or in a later book. Link to comment
