Has everybody given up reading over the summer?
Just finished my western fiction, "Firestick" by William Johnstone. Now to shift over to the non-fiction, with puppy in lap!

Currently reading this from James Rollins. One of my favorites, I think he picked up where Michael Crichton left off.

I finished “In Plain Sight” myself a couple weeks ago. Good read. The Mother standing by the river smiling had an interesting twist near the end. Didn’t see that one coming.bighomer wrote: ↑Sun Jul 28, 2024 5:03 pmNaw Sarge, just ain't thought about posting in this thread, about finished with this'un. 1000006186.jpgSteve Warden wrote: ↑Sun Jul 28, 2024 12:08 am Has everybody given up reading over the summer?

That "interesting twist near the end. Didn't see that one coming." is a hallmark of C.J. Box mysteries. He's a master story teller.Railsplitter wrote: ↑Mon Jul 29, 2024 1:04 am

Box's characters build on the prior books, so read the books in order for maximum impact.

Re: What's Currently on Your Reading List?
I am still reading through the works of John Buchan, having started with The Thirty-nine Steps and currently on Courts Of The Morning.
Buchan is considered to be the founding author of “Thrillers”.
The stories start during WWI and were written beginning at that time, as well.
His principal character in the books is Richard Hannay, a Scottish/South African veteran and a James Bond type operative.
No profanity and no gratuitous sex.

It been a long and busy 6 months, I don't know what happened to the time. It's like it just disappeared out of thin air.
It's good to be back among you guys.

I've managed to find several books lately by John Sanford, one of my favorite authors. Got these at the flea market last Saturday along with a Camillus trapper.
Read.

Re: What's Currently on Your Reading List?
Been a while since anyone posted here. My grandson gave me this for Christmas. I had already read McCarthy's All The Pretty Horses several years ago but it didn't inspire me at the time to read its sequel, so I guess it's time now.

Re: What's Currently on Your Reading List?
I read all three in that series and I was ok with them. When I read The Road, that one nearly did me in. McCarthy is too hard on his characters.Mumbleypeg wrote: ↑Sun Dec 29, 2024 2:44 am Been a while since anyone posted here. My grandson gave me this for Christmas.

I just finished Jeff Carson's 18th David Wolf book, and that series reads similar to Box's Joe Pickett series. I can't understand why TV has not come out with a series on David Wolf.

I'll have to keep a eye out for the David Wolf series by Jeff Carson, don't believe I've ran across one of these. Thanks for the heads up.

Re: What's Currently on Your Reading List?
Found this for a buck at a church store. Interesting compilation of vignettes, nicely grouped by subject like "Rally Round the Flag", stories of flag-bearers and incidents surrounding the flag, and, "Outmoded Weapons", descriptions of how the early war saw spears, shotguns, and all sorts of primitives. J.O'.
