December 26, 201312 yr Now that Santa is off duty....:lol2: Reading Lee Child's "The Hard Way". This is the 17th out of 18 Reacher novels for me. There is one more that I need to track down. "Running Blind" is the US title; "The Visitor" is the UK title.
December 26, 201312 yr Outside Shot by Keith O'Brien Story of the 2009-2010 season of SCott County basketball. The senior year of Dakota Euton, Chad Jackson and Ge' Lawn Guyn.
December 26, 201312 yr I've started on "Five Days In Memorial" and it has been great so far. As someone whose spent the last two Spring Breaks in New Orleans doing service trips, the descriptions of things seem to fit with a lot of the narrative we've heard there (on general things about the city). The book is about a NOLA hospital and some doctors who were stuck there with patients, no electricity, failed generators, stocks of medicine, and looting in the streets. The doctors had to decide how to allocate resources, whether or not to euthanize the worst patients to end their suffering, and how to apply medical ethics to situations like this that they'd never been trained for.
December 26, 201312 yr Got a little bit of cash as part of a Christmas present. Can't wait to blow through it all at Half-Price Books and the booksellers on Amazon.
January 3, 201412 yr I just finished "Bleachers" by John Grisham and am just starting "The Noticer Returns" by Andy Andrews.
January 3, 201412 yr Currently reading "Twelve Years a Slave" by Solomon Northup. Very interesting so far.
January 3, 201412 yr Outside Shot by Keith O'Brien Story of the 2009-2010 season of SCott County basketball. The senior year of Dakota Euton, Chad Jackson and Ge' Lawn Guyn. Just finished reading this. Fantastic book!
January 3, 201412 yr Just finished "Brain Rules" by John Medina. It is awesome- lots of great research and facts about how our noggins work.
January 3, 201412 yr Not sure what to think thus far. I read it & I still don't know what to think about it. :lol2:
January 3, 201412 yr I read it & I still don't know what to think about it. :lol2: It's thoroughly got me perplexed. Like I understand what's going on, but is that really the way people acted back then? The sexism and elitism is astonishing to me. Also, what's up with them talking so much of Judas' bowel movements? I mean seriously? :lol2:
January 3, 201412 yr The sexism and elitism is astonishing to me. Also, what's up with them talking so much of Judas' bowel movements? I mean seriously? :lol2: On the sexism...women had about the same status as dogs in that culture. That's why when he talked to the woman at the well, people were astonished. I'm not recalling much in terms of bowel movements. :lol2:
January 3, 201412 yr I was talking more about her treatment of Judas himself. He's always pictured, understandably, as a villain. But she painted him in a much different light.
