I just started "Shattered Sword" by Parshall & Tully. Promises to be a different telling of the Battle of Midway story.

Re: What's Currently on Your Reading List?
I am just nosing around on AAPK and finding all kinds of interesting things! I love to read, and I love to see what other folks are reading. I have stacks of books in my "to-be-read" pile--mostly fiction. These three are what I am currently reading (well, the Levine is more amateur of absorbing chunks of it).
We have a bookstore in town called "The Dollar Book Swap". Its a warehouse--literally--with probably a hundred thousand books on the shelves and who knows how many in the back. All for a dollar each. Lots of newer hardcovers, too. Of course, finding something specific is hit-or-miss (actually more miss), but it's easy to spend hours there, and difficult to walk out without an armload or two.

Rereading Charles Krauthammer's THINGS THAT MATTER. A fantastic intellect. Should have been president; probably too smart. J.O'.

Re: What's Currently on Your Reading List?
"The Sun Also Rises" is one of my absolute favorite books and has been for close to 40 years. I like most of King's stuff but found "The Shining" and "The Stand" good but a little long for my taste.beresman wrote: ↑Wed Feb 10, 2021 5:04 pm I am just nosing around on AAPK and finding all kinds of interesting things!

In any event, I have also found a used book store [though not only a $1.00 per book] and wait for Lee Child's "Reacher" Books as well as new Randy Wayne White and others to hit the used book store at $5 to $8 in hard-cover or $3 in soft. Saving a great deal and supporting a merchant other than Amazon.
Thanks for sharing!

Re: What's Currently on Your Reading List?
I received a book from my wife at Christmas, Gun Digest, Book of Hunting Revolvers by Max Prasac. If your into revolvers this one is a pretty good read. I don't hunt anymore but do love to shoot paper and handload for my revolvers.

Re: What's Currently on Your Reading List?
I have read maybe two of the Jack Reacher books, and enjoyed them. I just have so much of a backlog at this point I have a hard time justifying more books (although I usually don't bother with the justification anymore).schradefan27 wrote: ↑Fri Feb 12, 2021 1:12 am

I also have (but have not read) King's 11/22/63--over 800 pages and almost 3 pounds worth of book. I'm working my way up to that one.

Picked this up at the used book store. It’s time to get in the mood for baseball!

Re: What's Currently on Your Reading List?
I would recommend "Killing Floor" for the Reacher series as to King my most recent reads have been "Mr Mercedes" and "Joyland" if you get a chance his short stories are really good ( the movie "Stand by Me" is based upon a short story)beresman wrote: ↑Sat Feb 13, 2021 7:38 pmI have read maybe two of the Jack Reacher books, and enjoyed them.
