El-ahrairah Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Though I regrettably have not yet read the first three of those books, I salute their geekness. I myself have been "out of the closet" ever since I knew the meaning of the word. [b]NERD PRIDE FOREVER! [/b] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruella_Da_Oz Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 The Prisoner (Albertine) by Proust - hate. Foxes in Vineyard by Lion Feuchtwanger - so much love! In case someone doesn't known it's a hilarious and poignant book about Benjamen Franklin in France and Beaumarchais's struggle for arms for America and Figaro, and, well, about History in general. Slowly reading Club Dumas in Spanish. It's OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyhow...Toll the Hounds (really getting bogged down but seems to be picking up around pg 600). On deck I have Darkness Take My Hand by Dennis Lehane.

Harlot Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 [i]War & Peace[/i]. I admit it just became too boring after the war part ended. Iswear I'll finish it sometime this year. [i]Crum[/i] by Lee Maynard. S John should read this. It's a short novel of life in a small WV town in the 50's. It's a nice little slice of life: funny, raunchy, sad. I really enjoyed it. [i]The Best of the Best Cookbook Recipes: Hawaii[/i] We bought this during the trip and it has some interesting recipes with facts and stories about Hawaii Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
