Thread: What are you reading?

Not a novel, but...

Marvel's graphic novels of Stephen King's The Gunslinger.
They are really well written and illustrated.
Why they didn't base the movie(s) on this chronology and series is beyond me.

I am reading Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts, and I am impressed!

Welcome to the board DanVan.

Update: I installed a tab sleep timer extension for Chrome and my dreams are back to normal.

I feel I've given you all a boon, a primer in how to generate some Del Toro-esque dreams if you ever have the hankering. Let Orwell's negative distopia narrate and imprison you in REM sleep.

You utilize audiobooks a lot? I never have "read" one that way.

But as I get older and have more demands on my time, I just don't have time to read vociferously like I used to. And now, when I finally get to the part of the day when I can read, I'll read a page and a half and find myself nodding off. It's supremely frustrating to a big reader like I used to be.

This is me.

But - we only have one kid left at home now, so I'm hoping to get back into reading.

Sadly, as much as I prefer text in many cases, I am reduced to audiobooks these days.

I tried an audiobook twice, and I would miss large swaths of information because I'd be thinking about something else, or doing something else. I had to stick to text.

I signed up for Audible this year with the hopes of getting back into books given my love of podcasts. I think I picked a shitty first book, lost interest, and now I just have like 6 unused credits because I forgot to cancel the subscription.

Any suggestions for non-fiction that is absolutely stellar?

Alexander Hamilton (The source of the play).
The Last Night of the Yankees Dynasty (Buster Olney's book on the Game 7 in which the Diamondbacks beat the Yankees in 2001).
Heavier than Heaven (Curt Cobain bio).
Sandy Koufax: A Lefty's Legacy.

I read Heavier than Heaven in high school back when I still regularly read books. I think I'm looking for something a little weightier and a little more contemporary - though I do appreciate the suggestions.
