Having a really hard time getting into this particular book in the DT series. I don't know if I'm tired of it at this point or if Steven King got tired of it at this point.

"Street Life" is a memoir, it's very edgy, very graphic.
I'm about to embark on Book II of the DT series.

Reading Thomas Cahill's Sailing the Wine-Dark Sea: Why the Greeks Matter. This is a surprisingly engaging and well written overview of Greek culture. Cahill uses classic works of literature—the Iliad, the Odyssey, Oedipus the King—as a spring board to history, religion, philosophy, mathematics, etc.

I just finished reading "Heaven is for Real" by Todd Burpo. I really enjoyed this book! It went fast and was not a long book but the message is wonderful! It gave me answers to questions about what heaven will be like.

Today I started "We Bought A Zoo" by Benjamin Mee. Its a real life story. Just started so I don't have many comments but to say that it starts off good.

I'm currently reading A Winter Haunting by Dan Simmons. The reviews are average but I believe it's anything but average. Plus, I connect to his style of writing when he reflects to the past which he does often. I can't wait to leave a review of this book.

Fire Burn and Cauldron Bubble by H.P. Mallory. I found it in Amazon's free book list for Kindle. Not a bad read, but I prefer darker stories ;)

Today I finished 'May I Have Your Attention Please?' by James Corden. I'm not much of a fan of autobiographies, but I enjoyed this. It made me laugh out loud a lot.

Having seen the film adaptation, I thought that I would give the novel 'War Horse' by Michael Morpurgo a try. So far it's very good.
