What are you reading?

I've seen long topics about "what album are you listening to?" Or "what movie did you last see?" Or "What (TV) are you watching?"

But no one has asked, to my knowledge, "what are you reading?"

So, here goes. I've downloaded the new Springsteen book. Goes back to his father's childhood. Seems quite riveting, and I've just started! I think I'm gonna love this book. Really frank, and it's also very dark . . . my kinda book.

You can get this from any retailer: on-line, or brick and mortar. The Kindle link is what I used, but it's everywhere.

I don't just read music books, of course. So,

How about you? What are you reading?

I see this did not exactly inspire an avalanche of bibliophilistic enthusiasm!

"Wolf Hall" and "The Music Of James Bond".

Nice of you to ask, thank you.

You're welcome. Good book! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolf_Hall

And, the James Bond . . .

rjm (BTW, Carlin's Bruce is absolutely destroying my sleep! Wonderful book.)

Bond on Bond at the moment. A fine reflection on 50 years of Bond in the movies, written by Sir Roger Moore. It's full of lovely anecdotes, great insight, terrific photographs and a genial, humorous and very charming personal touch from the author.

John Saul: Creature.

Horror! I never read horror novels; I read Stephen King's short story "The Body" in the store, after the movie came out. And that's it.

But this one sounds vaguely like Scissorhands, but I'm not sure.

I see Bond is very popular. Didn't know that there were so many Bond books as there appear to be. Interesting.

Keep 'em comin'!

"Blues Guitar For Dummies"

The Hammer Vault ...by Marcus Hearn

"Blues Guitar For Dummies"

Cool. Got a link?

(Naw, really, I MUST brush up. I am so completely rusty, that it's just useless. Sounds great!)

rjm (found it: you can Kindle it! Anyway, they don't have "After Effects for Dummies" -- and that would be most helpful! I have one book, but . . . still struggling)

The Hammer Vault ...by Marcus Hearn

That's a really fantastic book, Ken. A joy from start to finish -- well-written, great photos and a mine of information. You may have it, but I haste to recommend John Landis' brilliant Monsters in the Movies.

I'm now reading Total Recall, Arnold Schwarzenegger's autobiography. Thus far, it's terrific.

Proof of Heaven: A Neurosurgeon's Journey into the Afterlife by Eben Alexander

There are many near death experiences that we have read, but this separates from the rest because the author is a neurosurgeon and a skeptic before.

David klein - blues suede clues - a murder mystery featuring elvis presley

if you love me, let me know

December 8, 1980 - The Day John Lennon Died. By Keith Elliot Greenberg. A minute by minute account of events on that awful day. A great read so far.

Ben Elton: Two Brothers - a truly wonderful, moving book.

A Man On The Moon - Andrew Chaikin.

A rivetting account of the Apollo missions.

Nice topic, rjm!

Thanks. I've been lately exploring the free books available both on amazon, and around the 'net. You go to Project Gutenberg, and download in your format. Twain, Shakespeare, Dickens, the completer Sherlock Holmes (I think I got that for 99 cents). And, of course, I've bought a few. But the free ones keep you pretty busy. It was nice over Christmas to read "A Christmas Carol" at night. Hadn't done so in a very long time, and it felt new - despite all the films.

I might just get that right away!

(But, Ken, shouldn't you be reading something with a more cheerful title at the moment?)

Sounds like a fun book!
