What Are You Reading Right Now?

And just finished "61 Hours" by Lee Child about the ex-MP Major, Jack Reacher, one of my favorite series. Reacher wanders the US like a modern-day Kane righting wrongs with his keen mind and large fists.

"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther

Science Chic, I am actually afraid that list may be your "light" reading to boot!

Seriously, though, that is one very interesting list.

SC: Greg Mortenson is on my "admire" list.

My copy of his book, Three Cups of Tea is completely worn out.

'Are You My Mother?' was one of my baby sister's favorites! I think I still have the tattered remnants of that book somewhere.

I was a 'One Fish, Two Fish' gal myself, I can still recite most of it.

Before vacation, I was reading 'Mayflower' by Nathaniel Philbrick, left off at part 4 to do some lazy reading. I'll go back to it next.

Read Mayflower last year , worth the effort


Mayflower is really interesting, :bookread: just wasn't exactly what I wanted to take to the beach.

lol No, my light reading I didn't list cuz there's nothing new out by my favorite authors at the moment - fantasy romance by, in order, Angela Knight, Kresley Cole, Sherrilyn Kenyon, Emma Holly, or Laurell K. Hamilton. I read them so fast (they usually only take me a couple of hours) that there's no time for them to make it onto a list! :wink: If anyone is familiar with these authors and knows of others that write similar stuff that they recommend, I'd love to hear about them!

bailey bud - Three Cups of Tea was an incredible book! I bought Stones Into Schools b/c of it, and when I mail off my charitable donations next week his foundation is at the top of my list:

kentucky jan - I have a funny story to share sometime in depth, and in-person, about my husband's bachelor party, a pair of boxers he wore to it with those fish pictured all over them, and strict instructions from me as to which specific colored fish the "entertainment" was not to touch! I can't help but giggle to myself when I read that book to my children! :)
