I've been reading a lot lately. No idea why. I used to complain that I'd fall asleep after three pages of anything, but for some reason I read almost nonstop now. In the past 3 weeks I've read:

 

Winesburg, Ohio - Sherwood Anderson

I Lived to Tell it All - George Jones

The Diary of A.N. - Julius Horwitz

Making the Good Life Last - Merv Griffin

 

Currently reading: Lake Wobegon Summer 1956 - Garrison Keillor

 

Waiting in the wings:

A Satisfied Mind (Porter Wagoner) - Steve Eng

Hard Rain Falling - Don Carpenter

 

Kinda 'all over the place' but once a week I go to the thrift store and grab a few.

Last book was "The Good Soldiers" by an imbeded journalist with a company in Iraq through out there 13 month tour.

Was about what I thought..........they did their best but things just went to sh-t as they were about to leave. Just as they were

before their efforts.

"Man for the Ages" - Irving Bacheller It's a bio/novel of one Samson Trailer. It follows him on his and his family's emigration from Maine (or New Hampshire) to the banks of the Sangamon in Illinois. About a third of the way through the book he meets up with a tall skinny man in New Salem, named Abraham Lincoln. They become great friends.

 

That was a while back. I, most recently read magazines. Popular Mechanics, The Week.

Things Fall Apart

 

Chinua Achebe

 

 

That's a great book. Bought it for school' date=' and still have it.

 

I've been reading Asimov's [i']Foundation[/i] series, but stopped for a break to read one of Piers Anthony's novels. Really light fare. At work I'm cranking through one marketing book after another, so I don't feel like anything heavy at home.

Just finished Philip K. ****'s Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? Great book. Strange to see how people back then thought we would be living now. Flying cars, you say?

 

Heavy, heavy into This Wheel's on Fire – Levon Helm and the Story of The Band. Levon is my favorite drummer after Steve Shelley and this book does not disappoint. Love the Band too. If you dig rock bios like me you won't be able to put this book down.
