What are you reading

[Craig.a.c (Craig)]

I just finished reading "The Five Greatest Warriors" by Matthew Reilly. Good book. Come to think of it all of his books have been good reads.
Contest
Ice Station
Temple
Area 7
Scarecrow
Hell Island
Seven Ancient Wonders
The Six Sacred Stones

Last book was Richard Dawkins "River out of Eden". Quite a short book by his standards but excellent as usual. Might wait a while before reading his current "The Greatest Show on Earth" as it looks much the same as most of his others.

I find that a really helpful reference. Would be good if it was spiral bound to use in the field.

A bit of light humour; I just started reading Terry Pratchett's new Book 'Unseen Academicals'.

Almost finished "1421: The Year China Discovered the World" by Gavin Menzies. Hard to sift fact from fancy with this one but why let the truth get in the way of a good story

[goober (Doug)]

Going through a WWII phase - just finished Beevor's D-Day - quite good. Now reading Balkoski's UTAH BEACH - excellent.

[acropolite (Phil)]

I'm almost finished "The Unlikely Voyage of Jack de Crow" by Australian author A.J Mackinnon. It's a fascinating true story of the Authors journey down through English waterways, across the english channel and through Europe's waterways to the the Black sea in a humble Mirror dinghy.

[dpastern (Dave Pastern)]

Oh and I forgot Ursula Le Guin's wonderful Earthsea trilogy.

Just finished the latest issue of AS&T, a wonderful read.

Now I have to wait until December for the next issue.

Cheers

The Mysterious Universe by Nigel Henbest. Yes it's an oldie, but when it's only $2 from the Lifeline bookshop it's a goodie!!

Another Lifeline goodie was Roger Moore's Travellers in Space and Time, the way it's written is amazing, he takes you on journey from the Sun through the Solar System and out into the depths. Such a great read that gets the imagination working, I highly recommend it

Peter Hamilton "Mindstar Rising" - one of his earlier works

[taminga16 (Greg)]

Captain Cook by Vanessa Collingridge in conjunction with The First Discovery of Australia and New Guinea by George Collingridge and for something lighter before bed, Fat, Forty and Fired by Nigel Marsh.

Giving the old grey matter a rest from Richard Dawkins and am now reading "Eclipse" book 3 of Stephanie Meyer's Twilight series. I love the vampire/werewolf mythology and it's a new take on it (for me at least).

"The World According to Garp" by John Irving
It's about the 5th or 6th time I've read it.

The movie is nearly as good as the book. It was Robin Williams' first time on the big sceen and I think it was Glenn Close' first as well.

[taminga16 (Greg)]

Hi Jeanette,

Have you read "Cider House Rules" another of Irving's works.

Greg.
