A non-Fiction book called SHIP. It's put out by the Smithsonian and covers the history of ships from ancient times until the present. Very interesting. Talks about the types of ships; construction innovations; how the ships were used; and other details that are quite interesting.

This is the 2nd I've read it enjoyed it the first time so had to reread it and I'm also a big Irving fan.

FallenAngel5 08-11-2009 08:28 PM

I'm glad I'm not the only one. My favorite Irving is A Widow For One Year.

That's a really good book (had to read it in high school).

Currently reading "Fool's Experiments." Not very good until you are about 3/4 the way through.

Paul of Dune by Brian Herbert and Kevin Anderson. Yet another collabrative book by these two authors. Not quite as good as the original Dune novels written by Brian's father, but still entertaining none-the-less

AZRedHot 08-17-2009 10:51 PM

I'm fixin' to start Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal, by Christopher Moore. I'm looking forward to it.

Oldfart 08-18-2009 02:20 AM

I just bought Clive Cussler's new one, Polar Shift.

That book was hilarious!!!!!!!!!!!! Good choice!

I've now just started The Source by James A. Michener. I'm going to drop by the used books store on the way to get groceries though so I may start something else at the same time.

I agree with Neige it is a great book but then everything from Christopher Moore is good.

Fangtasia 08-22-2009 12:35 AM

Now i'm reading 'Catspell' by Colleen Shannon

Fangtasia 08-22-2009 05:17 AM

'Chasing Midnight' by Susan Krinard (paranormal romance)

scotzoidman 08-22-2009 11:10 PM

Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood by Eric Burdon.

I've been wanting a copy for years now, & finally found one cheap on Ebay, from Goodwill of Indianapolis no less...like new copy, but when I cracked it open, discovered it was also autographed by the author!

I'll be hangin' on to this one...at least until EB dies, anyway :rolleyes2

Oldfart 08-23-2009 12:36 AM

Just don't misunderstand him.

I'm so glad you posted this Scotz--thanks to you, I now have a Christmas gift for my eternally hard-to-buy-for dad.

I just started After the Ecstasy, the Laundry by Jack Kornfield.

Booger 09-03-2009 10:23 PM

Naked Came the Manatee by Dave Barry, Les Standiford, Paul Lavine, Edna Buchman,James W. Hall, Carolina Hospital, Evelyn Mayerson, Tananarive Due, Brian Antoni, Vicki Hendricks, John Dufresne, Elmore Leinard, and Carl Hiaasen.



This was originally published as a serial novel in the Miami Herald's Tropic magazine each author taking a chapter a week then later put out as a book. It intresting to see the writing style changes in each chapter.

Teddy Bear 09-03-2009 10:37 PM

Oh my gosh.... I just figured out who Fangtasia is. Yeah I know, I'm a little slow. *waves hi* Wondered where you were. :)

So anyhow, to reply to the thread....
I just started book 2 in the John Norman series about Gor.

Another EB & the Animals fan, eh...I may be one of the few people who bought (and still possesses) all of Eric's psychedelic era albums...what was I thinking?

I think this book is out of print now, (2001 (c) ) so you may have to hunt Ebay etc. to find a good used copy, like I did. Lots of funny & sometimes tragic stories, & maybe the biggest surprise is that Eric still remembers any of them :huh:

No, you're not slow...it's hard to keep up, even for those of us that are here when she does her Sybil thing :nod:

Oldfart 09-07-2009 02:54 AM

I haven't thought of Gor for ages.

Teddy Bear 09-07-2009 11:48 AM

"her Sybil thing"........rofl!!!!

You know what i noticed..... I have the same name I joined with in 2002 and don't even have 4,000 post yet. She's on her 4th? 5th? name and every one is wayyyyy up there!! lol

Teddy Bear 09-07-2009 11:54 AM

OF, I never would've guessed you knew of Gor.

I know several people who claim to 'live' it....

Reading to try and figure out why?

Cause right now I see no advantage or anything good from a females point of view. Its great for the guys.
