What'cha reading?

Bevard & Pecuchet the last novel by Gustave Flaubert, a companion book to my earlier summer reading of The Know-It-All by A.J.Jacobs.

B&P are a pair of overly ambitious simpletons, overwhelmed by applied knowledge, without experience, yielding venture failure.

I've given up on B&P, too much chronic failure becomes excessively depressing. Hence, I am returning to my Harvard Classics collection - Lectures. Also ordering a book referred, still need to find a recreational growth and stretch book.

I am currently reading The Law of Dreams by Peter Behrens. So far, an excellent read.

After this I will most likely go back and finish Artemisia by Alexandra Lapierre.

Now reading Flags of Our Fathers by James Bradley. Influenced by the movie directed by Clint Eastwood

Not in the same vein as anything anyone else here is reading, but I am currently reading The New Hermetics by Jason Augustus Newcomb.

Finished The Last Templar by Raymond Khoury

Finally reading The Name of the Rose - so good.

Happiness on 7 Dollars a Week by Harley B. Bernstein. "As a kid I loved walks with Dad, I still do."

The Radical Leap by Steve Farber

The Radical Leap by Steve Farber. A quick read, now doing a quick re-read for timely review of th concepts within.

"In one respect, at least, I'm a creature of habit; every day I'm in town, I head for the waterfront."

re-reading The Dog of the South by Charles Portis

Blue : the history of a color by Michel Pastoureau.

The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins. So far so good!

Charlotte Temple by Susanna Rowson

Just started The Story of Edgar Sawtelle by David Wroblewski.

'Bout haalfway through an old one that still has the power to move readers... The Power of Positive Thinking by Norman Vincent Peale.

I haven't posted for a while. Since my last post, I have read Olive Kitteridge by Elizabeth Strout and Why the Devil Chose New England for His Work by Jason Brown, both with Maine settings. While they are very different books, I thought I 'recognized' the characters in the latter a little more than in the former:-)

Now reading Hope Leslie.
