They start a little slow, but there's a big payoff.

Just finished Lewis’s Space Trilogy. Superior to Narnia in every way…and I like Narnia.

No, but I’m looking for what’s next!

Just finished The Exorcist. I always read horror this time of year, but this was one of my favorites.

The VRBO we’re in has a copy of To Kill A Mockingbird. Haven’t been able to put it down…shamefully realizing I didn’t actually read it when it was assigned in High School.

Just revisited Good Omens this week...one of my favorites (if you don’t take it too seriously).

Fagles is the translation I’m using. My greek has atrophied.

Got into a classics kick recently. Working through The Iliad right now and, if I don't lose my steam, will read the Odyssey after.

My son loves the Wingfeather Saga. I haven’t read them. I’m going to look for Annihilation today!

Of the ones I’ve read, American Gods just felt different...less light and fun. Took me a few tries to get into American Gods. If you do audiobooks, check out one of the ones that he (Gaiman) reads. ...

I love Neil Gaiman and Iike Good Omens, but The Ocean at the End of the Lane is my favorite by him.

My Jefferson book is at my office, so this weekend I started reading Flexner’s The Indispensable Man about George Washington. Pretty crazy how inept he was in his first “military” command. Committed,...

I'm reading American Sphinx by Joseph Ellis. Next will be Washington: The Indispensable Man by Flexner.

Yes...it's because I watched Hamilton.

Boyd's such a tease.

Gaiman made me like fiction again. The Ocean at the End of the Lane May be my favorite. Neverwhere, Good Omens, and American Gods are epic.

That's what I've heard. I've got The Day the Revolution Began in the wings after I finish this one. In his defense, I'm hopping into the middle of a debate that is nuanced and complex (and my Greek...

Taking a short break from fiction and reading NT Wright’s Justification. Interesting argument, but I’m still not compelled.

Ha! Yeah, I’m still not sure I wave to watch the new one. Reading isn’t as intense, but still pretty terrifying.

Still chipping away at The Stand, but picked up LOTR this morning. I’ve never read all the way through. No time like the present.

He really is. As soon as I finish one I have to start another. IT was terrifying.

Just finished reading It for the first time.

On to The Stand...probably a mistake, but it seems appropriate.

Just finished the Bill Hodges trilogy by Stephen King. Good stuff...sort of prequels to The Outsider.

Audiobooks changed the game for me. It’s amazing what you can get for free through hoopla and overdrive with a library card.

That’s interesting. I’ve never read Lonesome Dove, but I might start the new year with it.
