Posted September 26, 2019 I usually wait for the movie to come out. Lol I don't have that much time to read, other than a short article. Spent too much time in college reading things I didn't want to read. Still I have to go over tech manuals that I don't want to but need to read. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I listen to it while I’m in the shower or right before bed 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 27, 2019 3 hours ago, mountainrider33 said: I do both, I absolutely love my Kindle Paperwhite but I also love my audible app. I'm listening to "The Pen and the Sword" and reading "Seeker". I tried the first book of the Outlander series and thought she was a great author but her characters are more driven towards women readers. if you like the main character in that book then you might also like the Red Queen series and Throne of Glass series. Agreed that it’s very female pointed. My mother has the Throne of Glass series She like it a lot. Have to ask to barrow it!! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 27, 2019 I had just bought The Outsider by Stephen King then left it in my friends car when I was in FoCo last time. He just dropped it off, and I can't wait to sink my teeth in it tomorrow. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 27, 2019 I haven't done audio books for a number of years, but used to listen to them for long road trips with my (now) ex-wife. No more long road trips (or wife) and I've become a huge Kindle fan and use the library's e-catalog. I read mysteries, detective novels and psychological thrillers. Some favorite authors of mine are: Jonathan and Faye Kellerman, Robert Crais, Robert Parker, Jeffrey Deaver, Lee Child, John Sanford, Michael Connelly. Reading is how I unwind before falling asleep. I read about 3 books every 2 weeks. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 27, 2019 Robert Parker is my guilty pleasure 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 27, 2019 I like the touch and feel of real, bound books. I highlight and dog ear pages. I also usually have several going simultaneously. A large proportion of what I read would be considered "serious," but I also enjoy "airplane" books (e.g., Kellerman, Crais, etc). Currently reading Darwin's Doubt. The Cambrian Explosion makes my big head spin. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His estate is handling it well and the new ones keep the heart and spirit of his characters. I got to meet Robert Crais at a book signing and let him know that I enjoyed his Elvis Cole and Joe Pike novels, and that they touched me in similar ways to Robert Parker's Spencer novels, he replied that Robert Parker set the standard for him and was one of his literary heroes. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 26, 2019 Songs of America, by Jon Meacham and Tim McGraw. It’s about music that helped shape our nation, from songs of the Revolution and later conflicts through the protests songs of the 60’s and 00’s. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 27, 2019 Currently reading Beyond the Shadows. It's book 3 in the Night Angel trilogy by Brent Weeks. It's pretty good. A couple favorite authors are Brandon Sanderson and Greg Bear. Greg Bear, in particular, writes some of the most interesting and thought provoking sci-fi I've ever read. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 3, 2019 Just finished reading “Driving Southwest Texas”, a travelogue about the Big Bend, Margaret, Alpine, Ft. Davis area. I think a new online guitar course I just signed up for is going to consume a large portion of my future reading time. I’ll still try to keep up with my authors list at storiesonline.net 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
