What Are You Reading?

[Spock]

Since this question seems to have fallen to me and I haven't done it for awhile.

I like to read a lot of books at the same time-but I went a little overboard lately and I can't even really begin to count the books I am currently reading-but here is a try.

EBooks
1) The Sound and the Fury-as mentioned here earlier-I am about 2/3 of the way through.

I set aside 3 other Ebooks I have been on for awhile (I read a chapter of one then a chapter of the next etc)

2) A Book on the battle of Saipan-which was the climactic battle in my favorite WW2 novel "Battle Cry." I finally watched the movie and I was pleased with how it followed the book -Leon Uris wrote both the book and the screenplay so that is to be expected. Any changes made sense in the interest of time-including the absence of some favorite characters.

3) Book 7(I think) of the Casca (the eternal mercenary series) by Barry Sadler.

4) "Saints"-Orson Scott Cards novel on Mormon history.

Real Books

I usually read 2 at a time-4 pages of one then 4 pages of the other.

1) "We'll Meet Again"-#4 in Bartle Bull's Anton Rider series. This is a fairly quick read and jumped ahead of 2 other ones that I am working on.

2) "One Matchless Time-A Life of William Faulkner"-I have paged through this many times but I started reading it in conjuction with "The Sound and the Fury"-may not have been the best decision as it is kind of confusing to keep the 2 straight.

3) "War Along the Wabash-The Ohio Indian Confederacy's Destruction of the US Army in 1791"

My work pickup book

1) A book on flags by Tim Marshall-"Worth Dying For:-Marshall is known for writing about the persistence of geography in geopolitcs.

My good pickup book

1) "1917" by Warren Carroll-Catholic focus on the events of 1917.

Just finished a short trilogy on WW2 in East Asia with a focus on the China front.

Contemplating re-reading this winter the Shelby Foote Civil War trilogy.

First read these following the Ken Burn Civil War doc that drew heavily from Foote-but that has been a 1/3 of a century so a re-reading might be in order.

Just finished An Obvious Fact and Depth of Winter in Craig Johnson's Longmire series, plus Horse by Geraldine Brooks. Last month, I read Dead Run by Dan Schulz about the "greatest manhunt of the modern American West." Because of his extensive research with original sources, it answered many questions and consequently raised a few more for me.

I'm now reading Fever in the Heartland by Timothy Egan and will soon be reading Finding the Mother Tree by Suzanne Simard and Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus.
