Bought this for $5 yesterday at a little bookshop not far from my house. Read it to my three-year old son last night while sitting in front of the fireplace. I think I liked it more than him. He prefers more exciting stuff. Like "David and Goliath." :lol:

 
I just finished this:

If you don't know anything about it, the book is made up of 6 stories. The stories are split up in the book in an A-B-C-D-E-F-E-D-C-B-A format.

I really struggled with the first half because it was just pages and pages of background information. However, the second half was totally worth it. Each story takes place during a different time period, ranging from 1850 to a distant future. The stories are all connected in different ways. Pretty cool book.

 
Just (re)started Neil Gaiman's American Gods. I keep getting warned not to get my hopes up, that Gaiman is aces but this isn't his best book.

So far the protagonist has the personality of burnt toast. Best be patient, I guess.

 
I've been reading this:

And-a-Bottle-of-Rum-by-Wayne-Curtis-Gear-Patrol.jpg


Pretty interesting so far. He had to do some real digging to find early reports of rum-making. Early rum sounds disgusting, by the way.

 
Wife gave me her tablet that she no longer wanted to haul around.

Thought I would try out ebooks and lighten the load in my backpack.

Heck, I just got my first 'smartphone' 5 months ago...yea, I still wear a watch every day.

Discovered Zinio digital magazines through my local library.

Now I can catch up on some mags I would sometimes get:

Bicycle times and Bicycling

Canoe and Kayak

Outside and Backpacker

Nice addition to the ebooks, audio books, and freegal music they offer.

Couldn't find my copy of " King Rat " so stopped in at the main branch and checked it out.

( will always enjoy holding a book...)

Find that I need to reread it every 3 months or so, same with the Foundation Series by Asimov.

You can teach an old dog a new trick!
