"Mortal Bonds".

 

I enjoyed it. Everything wrapped up maybe a bit too nicely at the end, but very enjoyable.

I was reading about that on Goodreads. What did you think?

 

I liked it. 3.5 stars out of 5.

This one was a riot. Fellow BGP golfers - highly recommended.

 

I've never really been into fiction, but about three or four months ago I decided that I would like to read all 100+ books of Easton Press' 100 Greatest Books Series. I've read Moby Dick, Great Expectations, The Time Machine, Huckaberry Finn, Pride and Prejudice, and Gulivers Travels so far. I got another edition in last week but haven't had time to open it to see what it is yet.

Just finished Thomas Jefferson: The Art of Power. It was ok but nothing Worthing writing home about.

Capitalism: Money, Morals and Markets by John Plender is a must read if any of that title interests you. It's absolutely thought-provoking and it's a painless, smooth read. It's not drenched in the obtuse academic language that typically make books like this a slog while none of its depth or substance is sacrificed for it.

Also picked up Stephen Breyer's new book The Court and the World: American Law and the New Global Realities.

Kinda makes my reading of Green Eggs and Ham seem a bit juvenile by comparison.

Does it have pictures or anything?

I have picked up a couple of Halloween-ish books in the last few days. One is the first part of a trilogy, called Niceville. It was greatly praised by the late Elmore Leonard.

 

The other is called The Night Country and it seems to have more of a Halloween feel, judging by the description.

 

Knowing my luck, they'll both be stupid.

:lol2:

 

Really it's a much better read than it sounds. Similar to a lot of our discussions on here.

You're ahead of me here, I haven't looked yet. Let me know how they are if you get into them soon.

Will do.

 

I'm hoping to start one of them in a day or two.

Yep. Often about continental drift or some such thing.

 

But they're always a treat.

 

Made it through the 1st chapter. In "The Source" his method is altered. He basically laid out the archeological process, from planning and choosing the team, through financing, to the tedium of the execution and the politics of it. It was, in fact, pretty interesting. I've reached the midpoint in pretty good time, considering I don't have a lot of time available to read. I love the way he is laying out the life people in each century. I made a solid choice when I bought this one.
