the first Game of Thrones book

And the Band played On by Randy Shilts. It's pretty tragic, but is really worth really worth reading. It describes how denial ,neglect, petty politics, and other institutional failures helped HIV, on top of the relatively unusual biology of the disease, become a horrific pandemic,and tells the stories of people who were affected.

I heard good things about that book. Didn't Randy Shilts die from AIDS?

Well into "Secret Daughter" by Shilpi Somaya Gowda. Very good!

"Warriors", "Fadind echoes". I'm probably too old for that, but I've read those books for years now and I feel like all the cats are my family

Bit by bit, I'm reading The Twelfth Planet by Zacharia Sitchin.

I'm also reading Spock, The Messiah.

I started reading George Orwell's 1984 and didn't get too far and had to return it to the library.

I finished George Orwell's Animal Farm.

I finished Ayn Rand's Anthem.

I'm not reading.... I'm writing a book.

2 Moons, 1 Sun

It's a story about a lesbian couple who were traveling to a settlement on another planet. Their vessel is disrupted, sending them far off course. They land on a planet in the unknown sector and find that it is already inhabited by wildlife.

I've given a few friends a chunk of the beginning to see how I was doing... they were all amazed.

That sounds interesting.

Crap... I made the mistake of picking up my Zombie Survival Guide and flipped through it when waiting for my wife. Now I'm hooked again and rereading it. That wouldn't be so bad if I didn't have World War Z staring at me from the bookshelf which I will naturally have to read again.

I need to stop looking at my bookshelf when I'm bored.

I just finished reading Albert Speer: His Battle with Truth, by Gitta Sereny. Oof -- it took me forever, but it was worth it. It's one of the best biographies I've ever read.

I needed something light after that, so now I'm re-reading one of the Hornblower books (C.S. Forester). Nice, uncomplicated fun with the British Navy.

Someday I'm going to read a book about Josef Mengele.

Arnold Schwarzenegger's New Encylcopedia of Modern Bodybuilding.

"Gracefully Grayson" by Ami Polonsky

It is a young adult novel about a 12 year old MtF trans child. Extremely well written and beautifully honest as well. I keep welling up at certain parts of the novel.

Lady Smith · June 20, 2015, 12:01:29 PM

I've just finished reading 'A Calculated Life' by Anne Charnock. It's available as an e.book on Amazon.

Set in a future Britain 'A Calculated Life' examines the question of what it is to be machine and what it is to be human and the effects that has on society. IMHO it's a darn good read and I couldn't put it down until I'd reached the end.

islandgirl · June 20, 2015, 10:19:34 PM

I am reading 'The Secret Life of Bees' by Sue Monk Kidd. A very good read!

Thank You, Jeeves by P. C. Wodehouse
I like obscure books, heheh. Perhaps one more popular that I've just finished:
Misery by Stephen King

The "Jumper" series by Steven Gould

In is a series that follows a young man, and later his wife and daughter, as he learns and controls his abilities and powers of teleportation. It is very good.
