    Finally finished this. It wasn't very good.

    Just finished The Long Walk about some guys who escaped from a Siberian prison camp in the 40s and walked to India (across Siberia, Mongolia, the Gobi Desert, and the Himalayas). Apparently there have been a lot of questions about the veracity of the story through the years, but it's still a pretty interesting story.

    They just made a movie based on it with Ed Harris and Colin Farrell (which I haven't seen yet, but heard good things about).

    Bill O’Reilly’s book “Killing Lincoln,” about the assassination of Abraham Lincoln was a good read. I'd recommend it.

    I just blew through "Elantris" and "Warbreaker," both by Brandon Sanderson, and I highly recommend them. It's "fantasy," in that it kinda has its own world, but the stories have some really interesting political twists that happen. The characters are very believable, and the stories aren't terribly predictable, especially "Warbreaker." My wife got me the huge, hardcover of Terry Brooks' "Heritage of Shannara" 4-book series, so I may start that next... Still deciding...

    Re: What are you reading currently?

    Well, forget just reading... I've begun to write! It will probably be a loooooong time before I finish my project, but we'll see how it goes. I've got a few random scenes fleshed out and written, and a huge plot summary and some characters created. I'm starting to see how possible it may just be to write a novel. It's just a fun hobby for now though, to stack on top of all my other fun hobbies!

    This week, I've been writing about 1000 words per evening, and it hasn't taken much time actually...

    Any Chuck Palahniuk fans out there? I'm thinking about reading some of his stuff and I'm interested in the book ​Lullaby.

    I liked it. More toned down than Fight Club for sure, as far as the anarchistic views are concerned. You can still tell he doesn't care for society as a whole, but it's not the sole focus of the book. Interesting plot material, imo.

    Arigatou! Besides writing, I'm reading "Heritage of Shannara," by Terry Brooks. I may bust out Kurt Vonnegut's "Slaughterhouse Five" afterward. That should be a nice change of pace.

    Re: What are you reading currently?

    My mail carrier's son is about to release a book titled "Unconquered". It's about Jerry Lee Lewis, Jimmy Swaggart, and Mickey Gilley. All grew up in my hometown of Ferriday. The author, Jim Davis, stopped by my house in Quitman, TX. about 18 months ago and interviewed me regarding to the three cousins. They are all about 10-11 years older than me, so I could only give him a little info. I know Jerry Lee's sister, Linda Gail, since she is my age. There is a website to pre-order the book and read a little about it. It is www.unconqueredthebook.com. I think it's gonna be a good read!! Jim told me his goal is to turn it into a movie someday.
