What's the Last Book You Read?
Thursday, May 8, 2014 by Island Dog | Discussion: Books
We talk about movies and TV, so why not have a discussion about the books we read! Let us know what's the last book you read, and feel free to recommend it or expand on what it's about.
I mostly read through my Kindle and get most of my eBooks through Amazon.
The book I recently finished was Inside the Real Area 51: The Secret History of Wright Patterson.

Carl Reiner: I Remember Me
last dead tree book:
Ben Rich: Skunk Works: A Personal Memoir of My Years at Lockheed
The Carl Reiner book was decent. The Ben Rich book was phenomenal!

I remember reading a book I think, but I cannot remember the title as it was back in the 1970's.

An article in a Science mag at the dentist that changed history re the Wright Brothers....they were NOT the first...and the Smithsonian has perpetuated the fraud contractually with them....something quite reprehensible.

Yes, the fire department has saved us. It has gotten rid of all those antiquated artifacts from a darker time. Protocol F451 has been a bright and shining success.

Recently finished The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss, and am reading the second one called The Wise Man's Fear. Trouble is, the third one isn't out yet, and I'm going to get all sorts of agitated waiting... ugh, I hate waiting...
