What are you reading?

[Biscotti]



Cool. That sounds like the incredibly dull stuff I had to read as a grad student.

yeah it is pretty dull.

Heavy stuff (literally, thing is huge).

Got off to a really rocky start but now that we're actually dealing with, you know, King Tut, it is basically like a thriller.

Headed out to NM later this week for some fishing - Blood & Thunder, by Hampton Sides

I just downloaded this onto my Nook this weekend. I'm about 100 pages in so far.

would anyone be interested in forming an SF book club of sorts? we all read a book for 2/3 weeks and have a thread/IM service where we could discuss it? Or is that too gay?

Possibly interested, although I might be flakey with pleasure reading.

I'm the type to put a book I'm halfway done with down for a month or two, then pick it back up and finish overnight. Or be intending to read something for weeks or months up until the point where I pick it up, read the first page, and decide right then to read something else.

Sounds like a good idea to me, but I read too sporadically to be of much service. I'll devour two books in relatively short time, then a third will languish for weeks, even if I like it. It took me about six months to finish Juneteenth, and I have no idea why.

You know that's kind of the whole point of being in a book club, don't you?

What I'm saying is that I won't stick to a schedule. Not if I don't want to.

YOU'RE NOT THE BOSS OF ME!

Like, my point was that we have a book and at a certain pre-determined date, we will all convene to discuss it. Not everyone at a book club even ******* reads the damn thing.

Yes they do. All of them. All the time.

I'm in, but good luck coming up with a reading list that we'll all agree to!

Where's Waldo seems to have been pretty popular.
