Loading the Kindle for holiday and I realise I've never read any of the Ian Flemming James Bond novels....Looks like my holiday's going shaken and not stirred

I love the bond books! I have only read a couple so far, as I tend to have a hard time finding them at any old/used book stores (I like physical copies).

So far I have read 'From Russia, With Love' and 'The Man with the Golden Gun'

They are fantastic and really take a different approach when compared to the movies.


As for my next book, I will be reading 'Desert Solitaire' by Edward Abbey after I finished 'Go Set A Watchman' the other day.

:D Tom Browns field guide to nature observation and tracking. Some BS, but still some useful info.

Is this one different somehow? I know the final chapter was omitted originally, but the version I read had it put back in.

I'm reading Blood Meridian. First time reading it in print, and it's easier than I expected. I've listened to the audiobook 4 or 5 times, probably my favorite book of all time. I might have a problem...

I just finished The Atlantis Gene for some escape. Very exciting.

Now I am reading Firmly I Believe: An Oxford Movement Reader. Pretty good.

Yes my fellow Droogie, I believe the last chapter was omitted from the original US versions and also the film, a self reformed character probably wasn't as interesting as an ultra violent one :p

Btw, every time young Alex mentioned his "britva/razor", I kept seeing the Spyderco Roc. If they ever re-make the movie then they have to use that knife :D

Today's reading- The IAQG co-ordination draft of AS9100:2016 "Quality Management Systems- Requirements for Aviation, Space and Defence Organizations"

Yes, it's a rock and roll lifestyle I lead and no mistake

I'm currently reading A Matter of Days by Hugh Ross. For anyone reading Christian books let me know and I can give you some really good suggestions.

I haven't visited the forum much lately, but have read a few books. I play a dabbling of video games on console (xb1), and have been reading extended universe books for the Halo games, specifically the Forerunner Saga by Greg Bear. I really enjoyed them and it made a lot about the games, especially Halo 4 and 5, clearer. I also have read A Clockwork Orange (which did have the last chapter), and started another of the Halo books!

Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens

[Sharp Guy]

I'm currently reading the Game of Thrones series and have been for quite awhile (lot of reading lol). I'm a huge Dean Koontz fan and have read almost all his books. Just waiting to finish GOT and I'll Koontz' latest called Ashley Bell

[Jordan]

I'm pretty deep into Randal Collins' Violence: A Micro-sociological Theory. It's pretty good, if you are into that sort of thing.

Oh, boy! I haven't been here in a while, so I have read a variety of books.

Most recently, I have read 'Kingsblood Royal' by Sinclair Lewis, which was a great book about racism in the mid '40s. Then I read 'Casino Royale' by Ian Fleming, and it was fantastic. I love the bond books, and my siblings got me a whole set of the 14 fleming books. I am currently reading 'The Inferno' by Dante Alighieri which is a book I may have to read again just because of the depth and complexity of it.
