  • Re: What are you currently reading?

    Just finished, "The Invisible Century [Einstein, Freud, and the Search for Hidden Universes]". Amusing compare and contrast of two unrelated men, their ideas and their methods.
    May I always be found beneath your contempt.

      Just started "End of the Beginning," one of the "what if" historical novels of Harry Turtledove. This one starts with a premise that the Japanese succeeded in driving the Americans out of Hawai`i after attacking Pearl Harbor.

      I've previously read his "Guns of the South," about the Confederacy winning the Civil War.

        Iā€™m currently reading The Thousand by Kevin Guilfoile. I bought this after reading a glowing review by Michiko Kakutani of the New York Times. Iā€™m about fifty or so pages in, and so far it is an entertaining read, a page-turner of a thriller. However, I have a feeling that Iā€™ve already come across many of the bookā€™s elements before, namely familiar echoes from Stieg Larsson, Dan Brown, Scott Turow, and others. But still, it holds my attention. It definitely is not boring. And it is well written. So Iā€™ll continue.

              Getting in a lot of reading time this holiday weekend - finished the Turtledove book, then spent a day reading Kim 'Howard' Johnson's long-delayed diary about being an extra on the set of Monty Python's "Life of Brian," titled "Monty Python's Tunisian Holiday." Hoping today to start "Bloodsucking Fiends" by Christopher Moore.

                            Currently reading The Black Book by Orhan Pamuk, translated from the Turkish by Maureen Freely. This is the first time Iā€™m reading Pamuk, a Turkish writer who was awarded the 2006 Nobel Prize in Literature. So far, for me, he has a very rich and intricate writing style, and presents a vivid description of Istanbul.

                                Yay - I finished War & Peace about 10 days ago!!!! now I'm onto "Eat, Pray, Love" by Elizabeth Gilbert. The book is much better than the movie.
