Great book.  Do not pass over his John Adams either if you have not read it..

Just finished up:

I've got the John Adams in the queue..........and Screwtape Letters is a terrific read too!!

.........and Screwtape Letters is a terrific read too!!

Somewhere I've got an audiobook of John Cleese reading the Screwtape Letters, but oddly enough I've never heard it yet.

My wife enjoyed reading it while the mini series was going.  Dude can flat out write. 

The Screwtapes were pretty deep.  Amazing how one could play that role (C.S) and make it so real.  His devious "subtleness" with Screwtape was nothing short of brilliant.

I do not think I could listen to them.  I found myself re-reading too many, Mike, and even then, some just were to hard for me to get my head around.  I had to have absolute silence when I picked up the book and only could absorb a few at a time.  On a side note, we delve into Romans 10 tomorrow and as well I am reading the Bible from start to finish in a year.  At the back of the one I am currently using, it has a pacing guide to keep one on target.

Awesome!! I've tried that a few times and just am not disciplined enough to keep at it. Plus I work two 14 hour days per week and that makes it tough to stay on target weekly. Enjoy the trip through God's Word!!

I am about done reading a book called The Living Dead.  It is a good book made up of short stories about zombies of course.  It is worth checking out, there are some pretty good stories.

Just finished RETURN OF THE WOLFMAN by jeff rovin. What a fantastic read for all classic Monster fans.
The book is a sequel to A/C meet frankenstein. But has tid bits of info for true Monster kids.
Find a copy and enjoy.It's not great fiction , but is truly fun.

I used to think books on disk or tape made little sense, unless you were visually impaired.  Then last Summer, I got tired of the nonstop political BS on the radio.  So, one day at they library, I noticed a Tony Hillerman mystery on CDs.  I checked it out and put the disks in the player in my car.  I was hooked. 
Too many years ago, in high school, and later in college, I managed to get a lot of reading done on the bus.  Now I have doubled my available reading time.
So:  Currently, I am reading The March by E.L. Doctorow, and "reading" Virgil's Aeneid on my car's CD.

I got tired of the bs on teevee years years ago, and would rather read any time, any where!!

Gave up on TV maybe 20 tears ago.  The few channels we get with the rabbit ears are enough.  Those, and the tapes and DVDs are enough.

My wife and I watch about a total of 90 minutes a week of tv, and that is due to our enjoyment of masterpiece (Theater)/Mystery.  We will watch dvds on Friday night and sometimes Saturday, but that is about it.  Monday through Thursday the tv never gets turned on.  The kiddos (11 and 6) also follow this schedule (save Sunday) and they do end up getting through quite a few books.

Finished "1776", and can't recommend it highly enough. Terrific read!! 

Just started "Benjamin Franklin; An American Life" by Walter Isaacson. I wasn't familiar with Isaacson before this, but he's a very engaging writer, mixing a bit of humor into the narrative. So far, so good.

[Wicked Lester]

Reading ALOT of stuff at the same time. New issue of Cemetery Dance mag. New issue of Filmfax. Just finished Showcase Jonah Hex. A couple hundred pages into a Tim Lebbon Anthology of novellas. Good writer but subject matter is not what I am used to. He has won a few awards and high praise by the best but not THAT impressed. Just finished my E.C reprints of early crime (Crime Patrol) GREAT! I keep starting an anthology called Monstrous but I read it late and keep falling asleep after a couple pages.

Another one my wife loved.

     I finished reading "The Strain" 3-4 weeks ago - you'll love it...

Reading this now based on friend's recommendation. So far so good. It sucks you in and I can't put it down. Wish I had a day off to finish it!
