    Which book are you reading right now?

    I am about to start reading The name of the rose by Umberto Eco. I hope it's good. I haven't seen the movie.

    I also like to re-read my favorite books every now and then. I LOVE Bel-Ami and everything by Guy de Maupassant. I love I, Claudius by Robert Graves. I also enjoyed Brothers Karamazov and Idiot by Dostojevskij.

    What are you reading? Which books are your favorite?

    Just finished Conagher from Louis L'Amour yesterday. Great book, great author. Most of his books are pretty short and fast reads. Dude knew his subject material extremely well. Now I'm about to start another of his titled Silver Canyon.

      Brothers Karamazov... Bought it 4 years ago and I still haven't made it past the halfway marker. Should've bought "The Idiot" instead...

      Can't go wrong with Henry Miller, though.
      Why settle for something you have, if it's not as good as something you're out to get?

        Brothers Karamazov is much better then Idiot. I was thinking of reading Crime and punishment too, but my dad told me it's pretty tragic and sad, and I don't don't deal with tragedy very well, so I'm not gonna read it. My dad gave me White nights to read, I still haven't gotten to it though. He says it's beautiful, not tragic at all. So, I'll definitelly read that one.

              I'm only about 1/3 of the way through, but it's excellent. It's book 3 of the series that has spawned the current "Game of Thrones" show on HBO, so I'm catching up on reading them for the first time.

                    Nobody else has admitted it, so I will. "Fifty Shades of Gray", "Fifty Shades Darker", "Fifty Shades, Freed". Whips and Chains meets Harlequin romance. Sex on every other page. Perfect Beach reading.

                    Oh dear.

                              Sheesh. I'm the only 1 into westerns? Not surprising. I never had read one really until this year. But really digging them. Up until then I always read the classics. Hemingway, Steinbeck, Tolstoy, etc... Sure I read a few in high school & college, but not a wide range of them. Bookstores have sections for classics & the paperback are usually under $5. Thinking of the original Dracula next. Will be nice to go back to the original story since it's been bastardized so much since.
