What book are you reading right now?

I'm almost done with SUPERGODS by Grant Morrison.

It's not really a comic book history title but more of an analysis of comic books. So far, it's pretty good and I like what he has to say.

As long as comic books count as books I'm reading The Walking Dead

Steaming Up! The autobiography of Samuel Vauclain.

Long out of print, I've been wanting it for years. Finally got a copy for my birthday.

I'm currently reading THE GUNS OF THE SOUTH by Harry Turtledove. Yes, this is alternate earth history which features a faction of South Africans from the far future year of 2014 (the book was written in 1992) time traveling to 1864 and giving the Confederacy limitless quantities of AK-47s and ammunition.

So far it's a fun read, if a silly premise. The South winning the war isn't a new story idea but Turtledove is doing okay with it.

Trying to read through the first Wheel of Time book on Jons kindle (it's his favorite series ever) but I haven't been in much of a reading mood lately!

Not so much READING it as looking at the photographs, but I'm currently enjoying the National Audubon Society's North American Birdfeeder Handbook.

Had a Yellow Warbler in my tree the other day! Very pretty bird. Too bad he wasn't singing.

The Martian - the book the movie was based on.

I haven't seen the movie, but the book is a real page-turner - one of the best mixtures of suspense and adventure I have read in years!

And it's good, solid, science-rich science fiction too!

A magazine, if that counts:


Film Noir
75 Years of the Greatest Crime Films

A Life magazine (on magazine stands until November 18, 2016).


Featured a piece on The Third Man, so I bought it.

Includes items parallel/tangential to the genre. Not really in-depth, but a decent primer on the topic. Introduced me to many films I'll need to see ("Laura", in particular, looks interesting).

I found myself with a Ray Bradbury craving, so I pulled out my copy of THE MARTIAN CHRONICLES and I'm reading that again for the first time since at least high school.

I loved the book as a kid and it's still marvelous now.

I finished THE MARTIAN CHRONICLES today and I'm still in a Ray Bradbury mood...gotta check my Bradbury titles to see what jumps out at me.

Finished reading Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte last week.

Very nice choices! A couple of my faves.

Watched enough Caesar Miliam, give this a try. It is a peculiar style of writing for a how-to book.
