    Default What are you reading?

    I am always reading a book...every night before I go to bed. It's my favorite time of the day. Do you have a similar routine? What book are you reading right now? And rate how you like it so far.

    I am reading Sunshine by Robin Mckinley
    Actually a pretty good vampire novel, but it is more so a romance/fantasy novel than horror. I have about 20 or so pages left to go. I would have to give it a solid "B".

    I have that also...my favorite part is the flowchart that determines if someone is a homosexual.

    I've only read a few pages so far, but his little math equation of marriage had me laughing out loud. The guy is a riot.

    I just finished Stephen Colbert's "I Am America (And So Can You!)". One of the funniest (and yet, astonishingly truthful) books I've ever read. I highly recommend it.

    I am finishing up The Almost Moon by Alice Sebold. I am sad to report that this book is not very good...a poor follow-up to one of the best books I have ever read The Lovely Bones.

    Thumbs up

    I am currently reading Jim Saccomano's book "Game of My Life" which is about 20 former Broncos. It is a very good book. I highly recommend it for every Bronco fan.

    Aye, last books I read though were (in order from most recent to least)

    Annals of Imperial Rome by Tacitus
    Plutarch's Lives Volumes I and II
    Edward Gibbon's The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire

    All good reads, for me, but I love Rome.

    I am looking at getting An Introduction to Roman Religion by John Scheid and Janet Lloyd.

    The reason I am after the book is it is basically a "How to" manual for not only the major rites and rituals conducted by the priests but also the lesser known gods and goddesses. That's where it comes in handy for me, a source for minor, obscure cults in the Roman Empire.

    i finally got the book that i have been searching for everywhere. Probably for like 8 years now. The book is called GADSBY. It was written by earnest vincent wright. NO its not THE GREAT GADSBY! Just plain old GADSBY.

    I had no idea what the book was about, and after recieving it, its appears to be about the life of some kid growing up or something.

    Sadly i think it wont be a very good story

    So why would I take the time to read this you ask? Well, the answer is:

    THE ENTIRE BOOK IS WRITTEN COMPLETELY AND FULLY WITHOUT THE LETTER "E"!

    how cool is that, a several hundred page book and "E" will not be in there.

    Can you imagine, he cant say:

    he,she,went,maybe,like,grew,fell,came,mother,bible ,house,home,bed,gave, street,wife,love,winner,loser,smell,money,water,sh oes,eat,eggs,entire,phone,water,cherry,clothes,zip per,tupperwear,gear,schmeer,dear,mister,umbrella,p reasants,Jesus,help,problem,hockey,butter,petite,e lephant,eyes,egg nog, ethiopoa,excellent,bake,glasses,vehicle,constantin ople,plate,table,stew,litter, new york,needs,beer,coke,beverage (all of them i think, besides cool aid and gator aid.)nector,honey,sweetie,ladies,women,men,toilet, paper,wheel,
    stereo, coffee,monster,triangle,pole,toe,computer,tutankha men,see, hire,teen

    There are obviously a lot more words, but that right there took me like 4 minutes. Let alone writing a story about a persons life.
    The Plan at the moment:

    Draft: Trade a 3rd and 6th this year to a team to move up and get a 2nd next year (this will happen).

    Players I want:
    Jake Ferguson (Jake Butt) or Jelani Woods or Jeremy Ruckert or Cade Otten (owen daniels) at TE- All 4th rd or later.
    Troy Anderson LB 3rd/4th rd (yay Timmy!)
    Neil Farrell, JR DL- run stuffer- bye purcell

    A CHristmas Carol and Other Holiday Tales - Charles Dickens.


    This is part of the Borders Classic series, and I have never actually READ the story of Mr. Scrooge, and I got 2 more of his shorter holiday themed works (The Chimes and The Cricket On The Hearth) in hardcover for $7.95. Not a bad deal at all. Plus, it's definitely timely at the moment.

    So, I think this collection is exclusive to Borders, and it's cool. Only in Chapter 3 of Christmas Carol. It's way better than all the adaptations. The scene and personal descriptions in the prose are so detailed for what is considered a short story.


    Recommended, especially if you have pre-teens or teens who like to read, but are only aware of the movie versions. Not too advanced, and its familiar.
    What shall we do with all this useless beauty?
