Just finished Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman.   Don't let the Newberry prize for children's books deter you.  It will appeal to adults as well as Gaiman does not talk down to his audience.
Basic story w/o spoilers.  It is a riff on Jungle Book.  Toddler raised by ghosts in an old cemetery grows up and confronts the events that put him there.  Hopefully there is a movie in the works.

Reading "Ministry Of Greed" about the televangelist scandals of the late 80s (PTL Club, Jim and Tammy Bakker, Jimmy Swaggart, etc ) as well as Alfred Edersheim's "The Life And Times Of Jesus The Messiah"...........800 pages, so I'll be at it a while LOL!!

"Ministry Of Greed" and "The Life And Times Of Jesus The Messiah"

Man, Talk about going in two directions at once!

Right now I'm reading "Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell" by Susanna Clarke and "The Way Through Doors" by Jesse Ball.  The first is a sort of gothic Tolkien-Austen synthesis about wizards living in the time of the Napoleonic Wars. It's going to take me a while to finish because of its somewhat intimidating size, but I'm really enjoying it.
"The Way Through Doors" is a very surreal mind trip. It's written in verse and basically tells the story of a man who poses as the boyfriend of a girl who's lost her memory and he goes on this journey to piece it back together. It has so many layers to it, but I've found myself mostly appreciating the book for its artfulness. I've never read something so unique and powerful.

Early indications are that this will go the way of those awful Conan films; directors who have to play fast and loose with the source material, ignoring the character the way the author envisioned him, for their own misguided vision. Visually it looks pretty good, script-wise, not so good if you're a Robert E Howard fan.

I've just started reading a book about Einstein.  It's another in the series of biographies that I've been reading.  It's just about a 5th grade level so it's really easy reading.  I seem to lose intrest in big think books nowadays.  Ill be reading music again starting on Monday.  My piano lessons start up for the year, school year that is.

[Fester]

Learning or teaching piano?

[ChattyLMS]

Learning.  Adults take much longer to learn it.  You won't see me at Carnegie Hall anytime soon.  The problem is coordinating the hands.  I put them on the keyboard and all of a sudden I can't find them.

I am reading William Castle's autobiography for the 2nd go-around, and it's just great fun.  A wonder-filled story.
