Glad to see you back again! Hope you have a wonderful holiday season!
I'm often tempted to hum the theme music to Jaws when I open your thread... or maybe just shouting "JAWESOME!" would be a bit more appropriate...
#3 Had a nice holiday season. Always nice to see the family. Hope you enjoyed your holidays as well. All the work you do to keep up with everyone and make them feel welcome is part of why this is my favorite LT group. Thanks. #4 Thanks for the welcome and thank you for all your work on organizing the group and keeping it fun. #5 Happy New Year right back at you. Welcome to my new thread. #6 The Jaws theme is appropriate to so many situations, as long as you aren't afraid to swim in the (rather shallow) waters of my thread. Haven't seen that one before. When my new laptop arrives, I'll have to see if I can find any Street Sharks episodes online. Let's see, cartoon wise, more Jabberjaw (No Respect). My original inspiration, Candygram.
Book 1 Theodore Boone: Kid Lawyer by John Grisham Theo Boone, 13, wants to be a lawyer and knows everybody at the courthouse. Obvious setup for a series. Quick, fun read.
oh yeah, the 1st hour meme
1. Where are you reading from today? home :P
2. Three facts about me:
I started eating salt and vinegar potato chips in college (no one else liked them) because they didn't disappear on me.
I love sour patch kids.
I'm a very private person.
3. How many books do you have in your TBR pile for the next 24 hours? none specifically, hundreds generally
4. Do you have any goals for the read-a-thon (i.e. number of books, number of pages, number of hours, or number of comments on threads)? no goals, read what I can
5. If you’re a veteran read-a-thoner, any advice for people doing this for the first time? first timer
You are doing pretty well on this readathon.
#18 Thank you, although the reading seems pretty slow at times. Time : 2:00 Book : B-17 In Action by Steve Birdsall Page : 15
12th hour meme 1. What are you reading right now? The Man Who Lied To His Laptop by Clifford Nass 2. How many books have you read so far? Two. 3. What book are you most looking forward to for the second half of the Read-a-Thon? Haven't planned my reading out. 4. Did you have to make any special arrangements to free up your whole day (or the hours you're spending with us)? Not really. 5. Have you had many interruptions? Yes. How did you deal with those? Grumpily. 6. What surprises you most about the Read-a-Thon, so far? How little reading I'm getting done when you add up all the interruptions. 7. Are you getting tired at this point? Yes. 8. Do you have any tips for other readers, something you think is working well for you that others may not have discovered? Nope.
#22: 7. Are you getting tired at this point?
Yes.
Sounds like maybe a sleeping break might be in order, LS!
#24 too true. Finished Time : 4:50 Book : Winnie The Pooh by A.A. Milne Page : 40
So, are you going to take one? :)
#26
I got like three hours of very fractured sleep over the last five hours :(
Next time I'm dreaming of special precautions like a shark filled moat and armed guards to stop interruptions before they get to me.
Time : 2:00 Book : The Mad Scientists' Club by Bertrand R. Brinley Page : 140 paying more attention to the bowl game than reading at the moment
24 hour read-a-thon
last second decision to participate
started 30 minutes late
took a 4 hour break to watch one bowl game
another 4 hour bowl game with time split between game and reading
took a 5 hour break for sleep
another 2 hours worth of various breaks
got in 6 1/2 hours of reading over the 24 hour period
lots of small interruptions or I would have got more reading time in
the longer I've been up, the higher the brain candy quotient should be
Stasia's cheerleaders brought a smile to my face every time they showed up
more thoughts later
#27: Next time I'm dreaming of special precautions like a shark filled moat and armed guards to stop interruptions before they get to me.
I like that idea!
Some more thoughts on my first read-a-thon. Comments are on my experience, not the read-a-thon as a whole.
Time stamps and page markers are great for keeping track of pages read but don't really say a whole lot about what was going on.
Not having anything specific planned does not mean there will be no interruptions, actually blocking the time out should cut some of those down.
If I'm going to try another 24 hour stretch, I need to rest beforehand.
At one point I looked at all my books and had trouble picking a new one up because several looked interesting.
Have a pile of easy fiction reads prepared ahead of time.
I looked at some people's threads for breaks from book reading. More thread reading and posting would make it more social, but cut into book reading time and some might not want the interruptions. How to balance?
catching up on past activity. Book 2 Futures: 50 Years in Space: The Challenge of the Stars by David A. Hardy and Patrick Moore I picked this up as a used (and therefore cheap) space book I didn't have. I only realized I had a David Hardy space art book after I started it. Yay! Bonus. A rework of an earlier book, I found the astronomical differences between versions interesting. Great artwork. Book 3 B-17 In Action by Steve Birdsall Appropriate for a young kid who is interested in planes or military machines. I picked this up as a bargain bin purchase as anything involving B17s is of interest as my grandfather crewed a B17. Book 4 Winnie The Pooh by A.A. Milne A late night read-a-thon pick where I chose based on easy to read and a mental palate clearer before I got some sleep. An eternally entrancing children's book. Book 5 The Mad Scientists' Club by Bertrand R. Brinley A Christmas gift wish-listed on an LT recommendation. YA boys' adventure. A quick, fun, very enjoyable read. Seem to have ended up with a kids theme for the beginning of the year.
RE: Winnie the Pooh: An eternally entrancing children's book.Isn't that so true! A lovely, simple statement.
#37: Aw, I was going to say that! You stole the words right off my keyboard, Faith!
Argh, Only February and behind already. #37, 38 Thank you. Occasionally a book inspires the right words to come from even me. I need to read more kid's books. They remind even a skeptic why we have some faith in humanity. Book 6 Freaky Future by Mark Frary Subtitled Over 1,500 Facts and Predictions For Tomorrow's World, it is little snippets looking into the future. It ranges from pie in the sky to serious extrapolations and road maps of today's technologies, often side by side with no effort to differentiate between them. Very quick and somewhat interesting, but very shallow.
Hi There I'm compiling a list of birthdays of our group members. If you haven't done so already, would you mind stopping by this thread and posting yours. Thanks. http://www.librarything.com/topic/105833 41Landshark5Edited: Feb 8, 2011, 1:47pm 
Book 7 The Company by John Micklethwait and Adrian Wooldridge narrated by Jonathan Davis Looks at the history of the joint stock company. I listened to sections of this on longer car trips leading to a fractured experience and that may be why I never truly got into this history. There were tidbits that I found interesting, but overall I'll rate this one okay. Book 8 The Things That Make Me Weak and Strange Get Engineered Away by Cory Doctorow Free ebook download released under creative commons. Take the war on terror and the surveillance state and extend them and you have this story. More of a short story that makes you think on a subject than a narrative you enjoy. Another okay, nothing bad about it, but nothing great either.
So, what little free time I've had lately has been used up playing around with setting up my new laptop and I'm a couple of weeks behind on LT. Have to set some time aside to try and catch up.
#6
So my first attempt at looking up Street Sharks led me to the series in Italian. I'm a computer languages, not people languages guy so no help there. With some looking I found a site with the first couple of episodes available along with several other cartoons. Okay, didn't really grab me, but now I'll know the reference. And the site has several other old cartoons so a cool find.
#40
Hello yourself and thank you for stopping by. As I listed on the birthday thread, September 16th. I'm not big on listing personal information online, but I already posted it to the Green Dragon a couple of years ago and information posted on LT hasn't led to spam or silliness yet. 43mamzelFeb 8, 2011, 3:13pm
>41 I really enjoyed Doctorow's book Little Brother which he also made available on line.
Cory Doctorow is a big proponent of the creative commons system so many of his stories are available for free online. I have a couple of his books in my TBR pile. I grabbed this story based on the title since I like Future Soon.
Congrats on the new laptop, LS!
Book 9 Stiff by Mary Roach Subtitled The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers, this is Roach's first book. I read her fourth and latest book, Packing For Mars, last year and loved it. Based on Mars and the multiple compliments I'd heard, I favorited her and started picking up her other books like Stiff. The book looks at dead bodies and the various uses and ways of dealing with them. Don't know whether this was because it was the first book or the subject matter, I found the book less focused and the humor more forced. I noticed that only one case of modern western crime involving bodies was mentioned. All the other crimes involving bodies were historical or took place in Asia or other places far away. I'm sure that figuring out the balance between information and humor and respect and discretion was interesting. Not quite to the level of Packing For Mars IMO, but another excellent book from Mary Roach.
#9: Not quite to the level of Packing For Mars IMO, but another excellent book from Mary Roach.
I agree with that assessment, LS. I cannot wait to see what she tackles next.
>42: Haha... yeah, it wasn't exactly what anyone would call a "good" cartoon... "crap awful" is more accurate, I think... :D
Book 10 The Ruins Of Gorlan by John Flanagan First book in the Ranger's Apprentice series. I picked this up when I saw it on sale as a first of a series test. YA, it was a fast, easy read for me and I will pick up others in the series, if I see them at the right price, for light reading. Okay for what it is.
Book 11
Rift: Telara Chronicles by Ricardo Sanchez and Pop Mhan
A graphic novel/compilation of comics based on the back story of the new MMO Rift. Really of little interest except to those who play the game.
Book 12 Alcatraz Versus The Evil Librarians by Brandon Sanderson I found the book alternately amusing and annoying. I disliked Alcatraz, in his authorial voice, and the interruptions and digressions. Ignoring the writing style, I found the story silly and enjoyable. I was put in mind of an improv setup where comics are trying to incorporate subjects yelled out at random by an audience and I consider this part of the story successful. I'm not sure how I feel overall about the book.
>51 That is EXACTLY how I felt about the Alcatraz book. I really got annoyed at the authorial voice--it may have worked in the Lemony Snicket series, but I did not like it here!
Book 13 The Burning Bridge by John Flanagan Second book in the Ranger's Apprentice series. Quick read, fun, YA fantasy. Still behind on LT, but I've managed some reading time. All three Borders in the Austin area are closing. Found a few books, but the stores are being picked clean quickly.
>52 Opinions on Lemony Snicket? I liked the movie A Series of Unfortunate Events. The books aren't officially on the wish list, but they are ones I may pick up at some point. >53 Not sure what to tell you about Alcatraz Versus the Evil Librarians since it has decently high ratings and even though the Alcatraz as author talking to the readers is annoying IMO, I kind of want to find out what happens in the series. I'm still of two minds and don't have an overall opinion of the story.
Thanks for the extra comments about Alcatraz Versus the Evil Librarians. I really enjoyed the first few of the Lemony Snickett books, but I sort of drifted away from them; I think because they are highly repetitive and, I think, written for younger than YA crowd.
Book 20 Only You Can Save Mankind by Terry Pratchett First of Johnny Maxwell trilogy. Non discworld children's book. Real quick read, got some laughs out of it. Book 21 The Dolphins of Pern by Anne McCaffrey Another Pern story, with intelligent dolphins.
Still can't concentrate or focus for more than a couple of pages when I pick up a larger book. Oh well, I'll get to them someday. Book 22 Johnny and the Bomb by Terry Pratchett Second in the Johnny Maxwell trilogy. Johnny has an imagination too big for his head and he tends to drag others along with him.
Book 23 Johnny and the Dead by Terry Pratchett Last of the Johnny Maxwell Trilogy. Okay, but a let down from the other two Johnny Maxwell books. 61Landshark5Edited: Mar 31, 2011, 8:40pm
First Quarter 2011 Summary
Books Read: 23 (30% of 75)
Paper: 16 (70%)
Audio: 1 (4%)
eBook: 6 (26%)
Fiction: 18 (78%)
Non-Fiction: 5 (22%)
New Read: 15 (65%)
Re-Read: 8 (35%)
Well, I'm ahead of pace to read 75 books for the year, but I've been reading lots of shorter, easier books due to an inability to force myself to concentrate on anything heavier so we'll see. Books read could slow way down if I ever get to A Song of Ice and Fire or Night's Dawn series.
62mamzelApr 1, 2011, 2:41pm
I'm impressed you reread so many books! With so many new books sitting around waiting for my attention I can hardly think of rereading anything. I am keeping a lot of books for rereading "some day" but the only book I can remember rereading last year was Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows before the movie came out.
#62
I am very much a mood (and moody :) reader so re-reads provide a known quantity when I'm in a very picky mood. Re-reads are also great comfort reads. I've picked up over a dozen books in the past month that I've put right back down after reading at most two pages so some comfort reads were called for.
I am not going to go back and read every post in your thread, LS, but I hope to keep up with you the rest of the year! :)
#64
I know LibraryThing and those interwebitude pipes are the limiting factor, not your super cyborg reading speed, but you've had a couple of days and you haven't read every post for the past month?!? ;)
You know you are always welcome on my thread in however large or small a way you choose.
#65: you've had a couple of days and you haven't read every post for the past month
Nope, and I am not going to either :)
Book 24 The Diamond Age by Neal Stephenson narrated by Jennifer Wiltsie Commute and yard work listen. I haven't made any long car trips lately so this one took a couple of months to finish. Like his Snow Crash, I don't always understand everything going on, but the world is interesting and enjoyable. A fun read, or in this case, listen. It would be very cool if someone developed an Illustrated Primer.
I'm getting tired of receiving these notifications.
Dear "Valued" Customer,
We were recently informed by Epsilon, our (spamming) marketing vendor, that someone "may have" (definitely) "accessed" (stolen) your information.
I'm already receiving a lot more spam than usual, many with probably malicious attachments and suspect html, so I'm cranking security settings up from medium (some spam gets through, but I'm not constantly searching the spam folder for legitimate stuff) to (definitely gonna catch some legitimate email) max.
#67: The Diamond Age was the first Stephenson book I read. I have read a couple of his since. I really need to get to Snow Crash - if I can locate my copy, that is. 71Landshark5Edited: Apr 7, 2011, 5:33pm
Book 25 Dorsai! by Gordon R. Dickson blah blah blah I'll come back and write something later. liked it see msg 75
#70: I have both Snow Crash and Cryptonomicon here to read. I had never even heard of Zodiac. I guess I can give that one a pass. #71: Love the review - 'blah blah blah' :)
I was in a hurry this morning, now I have to actually write something up.
Book 25 Dorsai! by Gordon R. Dickson A re-read although it has been decades since I last read it. David Drake, in his introduction, lists Dorsai! as one of the top two military sci-fi books of that time along with Heinlein's Starship Trooper. I don't know if I'd go that far (not that I know what the contemporary military sci-fi books would be), but I liked the story. I think the engagements show the protagonist's super intuitiveness more than his military genius. I liked the world more than the characters and the book could have been longer and more fleshed out, but a good story.
Obviously, I liked Dorsai!. I'm currently reading Necromancer for the first time and it is a slow start. I ordered Tactics of Mistake and should receive it shortly. I first read parts of the Childe Cycle a couple of decades ago and it made enough of an impression that I held aside the books I owned a couple of years ago when I first started on LT and have ordered all the missing books so I can read the whole series.
OK, I look forward to your thoughts on the other two books once you have had a chance to read them.
Yuri's Night April 12th
50 years ago today, Russian Cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin became the first man in space.
30 years ago today, NASA lauched STS-1, the first orbital test flight of the space shuttle.
Andrew Kessler, in honor of Yuri's Night, and to promote his upcoming book, is making pdf advance reader copies of his book Martian Summer available today on Facebook. 80mamzelApr 12, 2011, 3:31pm
Google has a very cute logo today to commemorate Yuri's flight.
Cool, YouTube has a space logo as well. http://www.youtube.com/firstorbit recreation of Yuri's first orbit using mission audio and video shot from the international space station
Book 26 Necromancer by Gordon R. Dickson Part of the Childe Cycle. While this is the earliest book in the cycle time line, I do not recommend reading this first. Necromancer is a set up book and parts of it only make sense when looked at from a series perspective and in combination with other books. I found the book slow reading and it took a majority of the book before I got into the story. I'll have to read more books in the cycle before I can evaluate it as part of the series, but it isn't my favorite as a stand alone story.
What does 'found book' mean, LS?
#85
The previous owner of the house made some salvaged kitchen cabinets into a workbench. Said workbench is falling apart and I was looking at how it was put together to get rid of them. I found several books had been used to shim and level the workbench. Considering they have been in the garage used as construction materials for years, they are in good shape. Yellowed, but no mold, mildew, rot, or animal destruction. Not sure if I'll read them all, but I quickly read the kids books and have passed them on.
#86: Ah, OK. Thanks for the explanation!
Okay, so I'm obviously behind on posting books read to LT, let alone reading threads. Oh well. Book 34 Saga of the Old City by Gary Gygax Book One of Greyhawk Adventures and a Gord the Rogue story. Liked it. Book 35 The Ethical Engineer by Harry Harrison Free download. Questions the applicability of universal versus situational ethics. Really too short to dig into the question. Nothing special. Book 36 Earth Alert! by Kris Ottman Neville Free download. Aliens breed human mutants to take over the earth. Meh. Book 37 The Cosmic Computer by H. Beam Piper Free download. Searching for an abandoned military computer that is fabled to be able to solve any problem. Okay read.
Welcome back, Jeff. Looks like you've been reading among the classics, lately.
Glad to see you have not forgotten about us, LS!
Book 38 Space Prison by Tom Godwin Free download. Unwanted prisoners of war are dumped on a hell planet to die. A tale of survival and their fight to build up to revenge and redemption generations later. Some problems such as the narrative seems to have too many deaths for any survivors and where did the weapons, ammunition, and tools come from.
#91: where did the weapons, ammunition, and tools come from.
The weapons, ammunition and tools genie :)
#89
Thanks. I have plenty of newer books waiting for me to get to them, but I do seem to be reading a lot of older and shorter stories so far this year.
#90
I may not have the time available, but LT is one of my favored online hang outs and I doubt I'll be forgetting about you anytime soon.
#93: I doubt I'll be forgetting about you anytime soon.
Good to know!
#92
:)
The story makes a point of explicitly stating that the people dropped off on the planet had no time to plan anything and were allowed one bag of personal items only and some food. Yet they had rifles and used up huge amounts of ammunition the first couple of nights.
Obviously the people were all from Texas where you cannot go anywhere without packing a gun. There is no thought required for that here - it is just taken forgranted that you are armed.
Book 39 Artifact of Evil by Gary Gygax Book two of Greyhawk Adventures and another Gord the Rogue story. I need to look into finding the rest of the Gord series (they aren't part of Greyhawk Adventures). Book 40 Dawn for a Distant Earth by L.E. Modesitt, Jr. Book one of The Forever Hero trilogy. Book 41 The Silent Warrior by L.E. Modesitt, Jr. Book two of The Forever Hero trilogy. Book 42 In Endless Twilight by L.E. Modesitt, Jr. Book three of The Forever Hero trilogy. The Forever Hero trilogy is one of those series I reread every couple of years. I like and enjoy it even though I don't agree with all the ideas presented.
First Half 2011 Summary
Books Read: 42 (56% of 75)
Paper: 28 (67%)
Audio: 3 (7%)
eBook: 11 (26%)
Fiction: 37 (88%)
Non-Fiction: 5 (12%)
New Read: 23 (55%)
Re-Read: 19 (45%)
It's been a weird year for me reading so far. While I'm reading at a good pace, it's all shorter fiction and rereads. There are plenty of new reads waiting for me to get to them, but I've ended up looking at them and going interesting but not right this second and picking up a reread. I've been unable to read more than a page or two at a time on non-fiction even though I find the subject matter interesting. I've had stretches of this, but never half a year of it.
Some years are like that. This year has been the lowest in re-reads ever for me--usually I am about 1/3, but this year it is only 10%. Maybe that comes from being retired and having time with little stress?
Book 43 Old Man's War by John Scalzi Book 44 The Ghost Brigades by John Scalzi Book 45 The Last Colony by John Scalzi Book 46 Zoe's Tale by John Scalzi Old Man's War is one of the favorite series that I read a couple of years ago. Excellent military science fiction. Thanks to a couple of sleepless nights, I've finished four books well before the discussion of the first book starts. Oh well. Even more rereads, but we'll see if I can continue on to some of Scalzi's other books which will be new reads for me.
Book 47 The Brick Moon and Other Stories by Edward Everett Hale Free download. The Brick Moon was written in 1869 and is listed as the first known mention of an artificial satellite. Men build a brick moon to launch as a navigational aid. It accidentally launches with people on board. Book 48 Who Controls The Internet: Illusions of a Borderless World by Jack Goldsmith and Tim Wu narrated by Bob Loza The internet may seem like a global institution ignoring national borders and rules, but the internet does have boundaries and nations have the means to control and influence the internet both within and beyond its borders.
#101: I like the Old Man's War series too. It was one of my LT discoveries.
Book 49 Death of a B.E.M. by Berkeley Livingston Free download Book 50 How We Lost The Moon by Paul McAuley narrated by Kerin McCue Book 51 A Case of Identity by Arthur Conan Doyle Sherlock Holmes mystery
Congratulations on passing the 50 book mark for the year!
#105 Thanks Book 52 The Wee Free Men by Terry Pratchett narrated by Stephen Briggs A Tiffany Aching Discworld book.
#106: I enjoyed that one. I hope you did too.
#108: I need to re-read the first 3 books so that I can finally get the fourth read.
Looks like you've been busy while you've been gone. I can't imagine keeping track of Dune via audiobook. How did that work out for you?
I've read Dune before so I found it easy to keep track. My parents found it a lot harder, but they were taking naps when they weren't driving.
I am so far behind after the past month. Far too much time on the road to Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, New Jersey, and all points in between.
Book 65 Patient Zero by Jonathan Maberry Joe Ledger story. Black ops special forces versus a zombie type plague. A fun read, I liked it and will be looking for more books in the series. Absolved by Mike Vanderboegh So I read a news article about some guys arrested for planning domestic terrorism and listing this book as their inspiration. So I followed the link (probably landing me on a watch list somewhere) and looked this book up. Absolved is not published yet and there are some excerpts and chapters posted online. Definitely needs some polishing and TLC before it's ready to be published. Yeah it talks about people getting fed up with an overbearing federal government and rebelling, but I don't see any real parallels between the news story of these guys' plans and the book. Seems kind of like a Carlos the Jackal type situation where the mere linking of the book to a person is overblown. The only people likely to be inspired to rebellion by this book are probably already seriously leaning in that direction already. Book 66 All Cats Are Grey by Andre Norton Free download. Quick okay read. Book 67 Plague Ship by Andre Norton Free download. Quick okay read. Book 68 The Cartoon History of the Universe Volume One by Larry Gonick Book 69 The Cartoon History of the Universe Volume Two by Larry Gonick Book 70 The Cartoon History of the Universe Volume Four by Larry Gonick Graphic novels concerning (no surprise here) history.The Cartoon History of the Universe was written in the late 70's. Some of the ideas are considered outdated by today's understanding. Extremely high level overview and too tongue in cheek for my taste. Book 71 The Ship Who Sang by Anne McCaffrey On hearing the sad news of her passing, I had to find a McCaffrey story I hadn't read yet. I prefer the Pern series but a good read and I'll read some more of the series since I can borrow them easily.

It just worked out that way. I thought I was going to hit 75 before I left for vacation and then thought I was going to finish a couple of more before new year's. |  920 members 216,365 messages  AboutThis topic is not marked as primarily about any work, author or other topic.
