Don't know what other books I'll read over the course of the year but I'd like to read, "The Pope of Physics," a biography of Enrico Fermi.Last week I started the latest book in the Destroyermen series, by Taylor Anderson. It's an alternative universe series about a U.S. destroyer and a Japanese battlecruiser in the early stages of the War in the Pacific during World War II, being transported to an alternate Earth. This Earth is relatively the same geographically as the one they left, but evolution took a different turn eons ago. It's VERY well written and a lot of fun to read. |

Mainly the women, like Joan Walsh and Flo The Progressive Girl. So I will read these books along with Bob Backlund's book. And listen to lots of podcasts. Will also attend 4:30pm mass tomorrow. Mass is early in Florida because many go out to eat after Mass and they want the starting time as early as possible. |

This thread is already asking a question, so there's nothing for the Magic Question Mark to nullify. It just makes the original question more eager. |

Gosh, the second one does sound like a Washington Post headline. Actually I think it was the subject of quite a few of their fakenews articles. |

Posted by orange blossom special on Sun Feb 5 13:46:32 2017, in response to What books will you read this year?, posted by LuchAAA on Fri Jan 20 11:39:38 2017. I finished "A Higher Call". About a German WWII pilot that saved a torn up B-29 flying back to England. Bought it at a air display. Great book actually.Finished Art of the Deal, was a quick read. Amazon told me it was completely Anti-semitic(posted by real anti-semities). however, i was very disappointed. He started off with his friend who is a survivor. It is actually a surprisingly good read, it shows that CBS commentators can't read themselves. Working on completing a dry book on Isiah, but am more into finishing "Seven Pillars of Wisdom", by TE Lawrence. First US edition I believe. Great book, sketches are a real treat in there. He's a very pleasant fellow. And Raiders of the Deep by Lowell Thomas, 1st edition. He's the reporter who wrote about T.E. Lawrence, portrayed in the Lawrance of Arabia movie. The book is about WWI U-boat captains. He's an amazing writer. Or maybe it's because people have forgotten English nowadays. After those two books, I don't know, I have a bit to go. I just acquired An Atanomy of a Murder(11th edition), the movie that the James Steward movie is from. Though I wanted to start a new James Madison book by the 4th of July. Not to mention my subscription to the Journal is piling up. However, anyone who loves trains should get the Terry Prachett novel called Raising Steam. Great English humour about a steampunk world where someone invents the steam engine. There was a good movie on Netflix inspired by the same guy, called Going Postal. I'd recommend this book. With this said, doesn't it seem rather insulting that people on the internets argue with me when they can't even be bothered to spend the buck and buy a bleeping newspaper instead of citing their own deranged fantasies?! |
