snoboy Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 Nothing. I just finished _Fierce Inavalids Home From Hot Climates_ by Tom Robbins though. Good and rascally. Strangely current. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catbirdseat Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 I'm reading the Jim Whittaker biography. He is the most shameless name dropper there ever was. My next book is going to be "Three Tracks in the Sand", by Dick Hangslow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freeclimb9 Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 The last three good books I've read have been "Sweets" by Tim Richardson, "Close Range" by Annie Proulx, and "Gould's Book of Fish" by Richard Flanagan. I read instead of doing TV time, so I go through a lot of books. I'm still waiting on the book store to get me a copy of "Loaded" by Sabbag; It's been 7 weeks already.

ChrisT Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 My son *loves* H.P. Lovecraft and the daughter digs Harry Potter. She's read each one four times!!! (Max is also fascinated with the Necronomicon...sounds like you two might have a lot in common) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catbirdseat Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 Necro, that's some pretty highbrow literature. I assume you have already read Hawkings, "A Brief History of Time". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Necronomicon Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 Yeah, great book, great introduction to some powerful concepts. Another good one, a bit older though, is "The Dancing Wu Li Masters". Sort of clouded with eastern mysticism, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bDubyaH Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 I am well entrenched in the ever popular "Long-term growth dynamics of young Pacific halibut: evidence of temperature-induced variation" . But I did manage to sqeeze in " Summit Fever" by Andrew Greig a month or so ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fejas Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 I'm reading two... the first for personal knowledge, and the second for entertainment... 1.) Modern man in surch of a soul, by C.C. Jung 2.) The Yosemite, by John Muir both good stuff, but I like books that most don't too... the later is very desriptive, great visuliztions...

fern Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 Heat Transfer in Cold Climates, Virgil Lunardini. on hiatus is Words and Rules by Steven Pinker. I got the latest Joe Simpson as a present so that'll probably be next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dru Posted March 27, 2003 Author Share Posted March 27, 2003 I am bogged down in "Nekropolis" by Maureen McHugh. About half way through. Will finish it when unemployed with more time to waste. Just finished rereading "The Picts and the Martyrs" by Arthur Ransome. Bathroom reading is the new Alpinist and the March/April issue of American Scientist. Two good complementary pieces on how flu pandemics originate, and growing antibiotic resistance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Before anybody hollers about me being a racist...there's no such motivation in my statement. Just an interesting phenomena!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
