Re-reading of War and Peace, hah.

Can you give us a short summary of Rhonda Byrne The Secret Series Collection 4?

I just finished reading "The Medusa Chronicles" by Stephen Baxter and Alastair Reynolds. It is a sequel or sorts to Arthur C. Clarke's novella, "A Meeting with Medusa."

I am currently looking for something new to read; doesn't have to be science fiction or even fiction, just interesting (no romance novels, please). Any sugsestions?

How about Trump?

Iv finished "The black sheep" and now I am on "Sleeping beauties " I like short stories too.

I always keep a book in the truck, so I can read if I get stuck somewhere unexpectedly. Lately I've been enjoying this one. Botkin put out several of these books...Southern folklore, New England, Mississippi River, Railroad, Civil War. Bits and pieces from various old publications. Fascinating reading.

Just started reading "First Man," the biography of Neil Armstron. May have to shelve it for a while if I joing the disussion of the current (Or is it next) non-fiction, "American Character."

Some days I have a desire to read big poems, but sometimes want to read little essay-style writing works. It all depends on the mood. I wonder where all these writers get their improvisation abilities for all these books. By the way, recently when I needed to compose an essay for my college needs, I didn't waste a second of my time and simply ordered that paper work from essay writer, who has PhD degree and works in writing industry for years, and his years of experience says for himself.

Did you see the movie, Cattleman? I suspect you wouldn't before reading the book. But fwiiw, I thought the film was very good and not fully appreciated by critics and the public.

I just read one published this month called "The Gods of the Upper Air." It's about the anthropologist Franz Boas and four of his female students at Columbia, one of whom was Margaret Mead. Boas determined through research that race is a myth. The book is much more engrossing than my description makes it sound.
