What are you reading?

Yeah; I just read about that.

I'm reading:

Finished this. I'd already seen the film so I knew the story but it was still a compelling read. Highly inventive.

Now reading:

Does reading Guinness Book of World Records Gamer's Edition 2012 count?

 

[Hunter]

its a book right?

If it looks like a book, smells like a book, reads like a book...it must be a book.

Just thought that it isn't a book that people normally would read in my opinion.Still awesome to read through though.

Greenlights - Matthew McConaughey (I didn't pay for it)

That looks quite interesting.

That looks quite interesting.

It sure is.Tons of info. Unfortunately the book so far is missing the Unreal Tournament series of games. Only Gears of War series.Maybe the UT series was mentioned in a previous edition.

Just finished this:

For me, that was a great read, totally deep information.

Now reading this:

Get some history on..........

 

[Manticore]

Just finished The Templars, a great read and an incredible work of historical research.

Just started reading this:

Just finished reading this:

It's an absolutely brilliant read. The author had intimate access to Armstrong (as well as many others) and the level of detail in research for the biography is stunning. The technical detail makes this a must for anyone interested in aerospace.

The technical detail and insights of Armstrong, Aldrin, Collins as well as many others involved in the Apollo program during the detailed description of the flight of Apollo 11, well, I felt like I was flying the mission with them all the way to the lunar surface and back.

Absolutely brilliant.

In my opinion this is a must read book that separates the man from the history, the myths and the monumental achievement which is still possibly the greatest feat of human exploration ever undertaken.

This book is the human face of Armstrong that puts the history into perspective.

Now reading:

Love Is the Song We Sing: San Francisco Nuggets 1965–1970 is the fourth Nuggets box set released by Rhino Records. It was released in 2007 and packaged as an 8 1/2 x 11" 120 page hardcover book, the first 73 pages of which were made up mostly of vintage photographs. The compilation focuses on San Francisco Sound bands. Its title is derived from the first line of "Get Together," two versions of which open (Dino Valenti) and close (The Youngbloods) the four-disc set.

It's a short read and a photo journey (as well as the music on CD).

I'm reading this on and off:

Yes; that's right. I've had these volumes for some time and, as much as everyone has probably read or encountered Billy Shakes in the past, I've been meaning to read these from cover to cover.

But not all at once. All the plays are in chronological order and I've just started with Titus Andronicus.

I'll read one play and put it down for a while. It's a good way from taking a break from other reading.

 

[Manticore]

Can't remember taking a good look at Tiitus Andronicus before. No matter what is said about Billy and where he sourced his narratives (he's the JJ Abrams of his day), for a first play this thing has industrial-scaled sex and violence that would not be out of place in Game of Thrones (I'm looking at you George). Quite confronting.

I'll get on to Henry later but now back to rock music history:

William Shakespeare-King Henry VI Part I

That was a merry romp amongst monarchies and Joan of Arc. It's a trilogy so parts II and III come later......

Now reading this which someone left at ours:

I thought it may be a dry and boring read but the first two chapters have been pretty compelling.

 

[Manticore]

This was a great read. I was lent this book by a friend and I did think it would be all a bit too "new age" for me. I steamed through this in a week. An intriguing story to say the least.

Found the sequel to this and am reading it now:

That's about a year's worth of reading now up to date........
