I'm reading Life After Life by Kate Atkinson

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0316176494?ie=UTF8&at=&force-full-site=1&ref_=aw_bottom_links

Picked the hardcover up for $6 off of the remainder table at Meijer. It's kind of confusing and slow at first, it doesn't hold your hand at all, it throws you into the weird concept without explanation and there are lots of names to remember, but once you get your footing it gets interesting. I'm only a little over halfway through, so not sure where she's going with this, but it's something different at least.
 
Höst wrote a fourth book, appropriately titled Gratuitous Epilogue, which I am powering through.

I'll have to go back through this thread and see how much I've read through the year... more than a couple books, to be sure.
 
Now reading Brunelleschi's Dome, which outlines the building of the monumental dome which dominated the skyline of the Italian city of Florence since the fifteenth century.
 
Start of a new year, and I have already finished a book: 41 by George W. Bush.

This is a biography of the 41st President of the United States as seen through the (in his own words, biased) eyes of his son, who happened to be the 43rd President.

This book is not about politics, though it's unavoidable in such a work. Rather, it's a bit of bragging from "W" about the accomplishments of his dad, who wouldn't do so.

It is an engaging read, and an interesting snapshot of a President's life from a unique viewpoint.
 
I'm reading Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn trilogy now. After that, there are a couple non-fic books in my TBR pile. We'll see...

Been there, done that. When I was stationed aboard an aircraft carrier and the ship was in the yards for maintenance, we had to park a mile and a half away, then walk across the shipyards to work. Of course it was winter, and we were stumbling through ice and snow at ungodly hours of the morning...

I'd do the same at the college. but I have to get my daughter from one school to another one and we've no time in between, so a ten minute walk after class will result in her being too late for the next class.
 
Started reading James Patterson's "A Hope to Die" featuring Alex Cross.

Little over halfway through and definitely a well spent $20 thus far.
 
Currently reading The Skin Collector by Jeffery Deavers. Has anyone read it? I have a spoiler question if you have.
 
"Cross My Heart" also wrote by James Patterson seems to have slipped by me. Came out before "A Hope to Die" (just recently finished and awesome novel btw).

That's next on my to do list.
 
Just finished reading Bones Burnt Black by Stephen Euin Cobb... Hard Scifi, great drama, compelling read. I think the ending could have been done a little better, but overall I enjoyed the book and will read another of his.

I saw this list and discovered that I have read 56 out of the hundred. I have a couple more in my possession, and there are some I will never read, but there is an unspoken contest between me and my friend over who will read the most. She's two up on me at the moment...
