What book are you reading now

I read The DIVINCI CODE just for the reason the Church is against it! Not a bad read,just not very fulfilling or informative. I wouldn't buy any more of Dan Brown's work.At the moment,I am reading my second Ian Rankin "Rebus" novel,"Set In Darkness".
The Robert Crumb Handbook[a mere 19.95Can.] Full of his art and..a free CD of him and the various bands he plays with.
Anybody read the new book from Jared Diamond - Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed?? Thinking about getting it. His earlier book "Guns,
Germs and Steel" is fantastic - I highly recommend it. It's a brief description of the history of mankind, exploring questions like why life unfolded differently in different parts of the world. This guy has such a broad range of knowledge!

But if I'm not buying all these hardcovers, then who will give them to the thrift stores to sell for a buck or two?

If you have a local library,usually at the start of each year,they have a large "garage sale" and books,records,magazines go for nickles on the dollar.
That is a great book gonzo 8) Well right now I am reading Deep thoughts by Jack handey. A gift from a cagey character...vey cagey 
I just mention mr handey in passing and wtf?????????????? I get a gift of deep thoughts 8O Now thats the second time....once more time...and he just might hit a home run After that I am gonna read Dark Star Safari...hey 8O thats sounds like a guy I use to know.

Currently I'm reading 'Spartan' by Valerio Massimo Manfredi. It's nothing special but a bit of escapism before I read the second half of 'A short history of nearly everything'.
I quite enjoyed the DaVinci Code and Dan Browns 'Angel and Demons' is good for a laugh as well. At least I had some idea what went on at Conclave after reading that.
Of course, I would be reading 'Into the silk' if I could bring myself to pay the stupid money that it costs.

'Bout time girl ... I was starting to wonder if you were switching teams on us!Do you have to put that yapping mutt up as your avatar to!!!!! 8O You are suppose to be a moderator, yet here you are, writing fluff in the book thread :twisted: Come to think of it so am I 8O ...mean while back at the ranch...
Yes I bet you miss the "lecture" days, you know the days when you had more men, than carter has lil liver pills 8O No regard for your flat mate...nada :twisted: I didn't and I still don't like looking at some dumb ass sitting at the kitchen table when I am eating my oatmeal. :twisted: specially the ones you dragged in :roll: ....but its all better now that you switched sides...you only need one now

I don't miss the "Miss Morals" lectures you used to give! I was just looking for Mr. Right ... until I found out the right man for the job was a woman! Just be glad I didn't figure that out while were sharing sheets, Pea! Who knows what might have happened? :twisted: Sheesh, back then the only reason I wanted into your pants was because they were so tiny and I was envious I couldn't fit into them! :lol: :lol:
As for sticking to topic ... right now I'm reading "The Laughing Corpse" by Laurell K. Hamilton (thanks Pea ... you were the first one to give me one of her books!). Vampires and stuff. I'm also reading Sue Grafton, "R is for Ricochet" and still plugging my way through "Dykeversions ... Lesbian Fiction". The last is a bit literary for my tastes ... give me some good Carl Hiaasen, Christopher Moore or Janet Evanovich any day!
If anyone hasn't read Moore's stuff, I highly recommend it. Absurdity to the max ... laugh out loud. Very good writer. I especially liked "Island of the Sequined Love Nun" and "Practical Demonkeeping".
Well, Pea, I am off for nap. Good luck with the big game tonight.
