So...what are you reading (Vol VI)

Just finished reading Dexter is Delicious. Will be starting this one tonight:

 

Just knocked off:

Sag Habor-Colson Whitehead
That Old Cape Magic-Richard Russo

Just started:

The Last Stand: Custer, Sitting Bull, and the Battle of the Little Bighorn -Nathaniel Philbrick

 

Mozart and His Operas by David Cairns

Thanks to Dr. Wankler for the recommendation.

 

I'm taking a Victorian Novels seminar this semester. Just read Vanity Fair in a week. Moving on to Jane Eyre and Woman in White in the next two weeks.

I am unfamiliar with the author, but the book is off to a promising start.

 

I thought the movie was garbage. How's the book?

 

Ooh... that looks interesting.

 

That sounds like an audiobook worth downloading. About the only really interesting book I've ever read about the Great War-- most of them dwell, understandably, on the tedious years.

 

Not really sure how I never opened this one before, but...

 

I did not see the movie.

The book is okay, so far (100 pages in) .

 

Agreed! Excellent book!

 

Tomorrow will start:

 

And it went downhill from there... (it was probably much sooner than 100 pages)

 

I will admit that at first, I had some trouble picturing some of it all and made the mistake of watching the 1984 movie through Netflix Instant Play. Egads. Still stayed with the book anyway, and clearly, the movie is the single worst book to screenplay adaptation I've ever seen. It was like you had to have a secret code to understand all the disjointed scenes that no one bothered to connect.

 

Gave up on Pop. 1280.

Starting:

 

William Faulkner-As I Lay Dying

Decent so far. Faulkner could also write an exhaust pipe gag that could really make you think.
