Guest Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Along the lines of "What are you listening to?" I thought I'd start a thread on people are reading. I currently read "Grunt" by Mary Roach. The cover caught my eye as it has a Marine with a backpack on, with another five or six backpacks on top of that. The book is about military science. Given my son was a corpsman, I thought it would be interesting. It WAS! I am now reading Roach's book called "Stiff". It's about what happens to cadavers. Fascinating! Next on my list will be Gulp also by Roach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcel Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Great topic! " title="Applause" /> I'm a freak on high-tech Sci-fi! Half-way trough "Eon" by Greg Bear. It's from 1985 and i have search for it like crazy after a likeminded reader on FFG pointed it out. I have trouble to get to sleep then reading before bedtime.

Guest Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 At least around here, or the participants simply choose not to reveal what they are reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcel Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Today i got my hands on "The left hand of darkness" by Ursula K. Le Guin from 1969. Should be a good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KHahn Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 When I get back to it, the latest special edition Trains issue - Colorado Railroads Covers stuff such as: Union Station project t Moffat Tunnel Joint Line, south to Co Springs and Pueblo Narrow gauge tourist lines Museums and display pieces ALL RTD station stops on the system. And of course, the Pikes Peak cog railroad, the article I just finished reading. Also need to read a book given to me a couple months ago. Picked at a thrift store, for a couple dollars: Denver Union Station 1884 / 1914 / 2014 The revitalization of Denvers Union Station. To become a central location for RTD Light Rail, RTD bus service, Airport service and Amtrak trains. Including what the area used to look like, currently looks like and what future plans are. The once upper, unused office space is now a 112 room hotel! Gotta check out it out before too long! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

furgirl Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Venus in Furs by Von Sacher Masoch, disappointing on the one hand because it's boring and repetitive, but interesting on the other hand because it's one of the first examples of fetishism in literature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alphonso Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Books by Joan D Vinge: The Snow Queen and then The Summer Queen, Tangled Up In Blue and Worlds End. All ripping yarns set in an alternative universe. Easy to read. (Ms Vinge wrote spin offs for the Star Wars franchise). Apparently they are feminist novels - all the lead characters are female; and why not? Ripe for a movie franchise I should think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
