So, watcha' reading?

[Scatter]

That's a cool book there buddy.

My favorite of all the old MAD paperbacks, Classic Kelly Freas cover...just doesn't get any better....

Bet those MAD paperbacks have that vintage paperback smell. Makes me want to go browse around in a good used bookstore... if they're were any around anymore.

Inkfink,,.
                                           you read my mind! I almost wrote in the original post that i spend almost as much time holding the book up to my nose as i do reading! Nothing like the smell of rotting paperback pulp!

Finally started on Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff The Expanded Story of a Haunting Collaboration (revised edition)!  I was going to read this after finishing A History of Horrors: The Rise and Fall of the House of Hammer (Revised Edition) but got sidetracked reading I Am Ozzy, which I think whether you are a fan or not is quite an interesting story.

Started Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol. Read the previous Robert Langdon stories, Angels & Demons and The Da Vinci Code and, to me, they read like modern pulp adventures blended with historical esoterica.

I loved The Lugosi and Karloff Haunting Collaboration, great info and some great pics.

I got a box of 20 StarTrek paperbacks last week ranging from the mid 70s to the late 90s and including fiction and behind the scenes books. I finished Spock Must Die! and am almost done with Spock,Messiah! which I believe are the first 2 Trek fiction novels.

This excellent noir novel:




From a reviewer at Amazon:

March Violets is set in the darkening days of Hitler's Germany; the 1936 Olympics are just coming to town. Kerr's protagonist, Bernard Gunther, is a private detective hired by a very wealthy conservative (i.e. non-Nazi) German industrialist to find out who murdered his daughter and her Nazi husband, burned down their home, and stole a diamond necklace from their safe.

Fortunately, there are more books in this series.

A great read so far...as usual there is so much the movie left out or changed.

[Fester]

English!  I can almost speak it now.

Glad to see someone putting their liberal arts degree to good use.

I'm using my MA in History working in a plasma center.
