"Dr Sleep" and Kings, "11.22.63" I'll read anything he writes. Back in "04" while in Bangor, MN, we went by his house. The insurance company told him to enclose the property for his safety. He did it in King style! Black wrought iron fence with flying bats on top of the posts, and gate wide open. So much for safety!
Sorry didn't know the first one had posted.

Geez I haven't read a book in years That is really sad. There is nothing better than losing yourself is a great book. Not to mention learning something now and then. Many books I've read (fiction and nonfiction) have changed my life for the better over the years.

Reading is a great escape from so much of the days electronic use and business of life.

I just finished "Hitler's Furies: German Women in the Nazi Killing Fields" by Wendy Lower; "Pandemics: What Everyone Needs to Know' by Peter C. Doherty, the new book about the Kitty Genovese murder by Kevin Cook, and "The Girl" by Samantha Geimer (the girl who was raped by Roman Polanski). And I just started on "Lost Girls" by Robert Kolker, which is about the bodies being found buried in the beaches of Long Island.

Sorry didn't know the first one had posted. grio...look at the top right hand corner of your post (where it says edit, etc) there is a little "wheel looking" icon...click on it and a drop down will open; in the drop down, it will give you the ability to delete the second post. ...I learned this the hard way!

I'm not sure that what I read would be appreciated by most as it has been a long time since I have read any fiction. The readings on the Gnostic subject is interesting as is the books about early history of the Christian movement. I do suggest that when reading about some of them (such as the letters of Paul) use multiple sources because there is a great deal of debate as to authenticity of some such as some of the letters of Paul.
Anyway, anything by Archaeologist Leslie Alcock is quite good with his work in England with such as âDinas Powys: An Iron Age, A dark Age and Early Medieval Settlement in Glamorganâ [1963], as is âEconomy, society and Warfare Among the Britons and Saxons [1987]. But one quite enjoyable is âArthur's Britain - History and Archaeology AD 3 6 7 â 6 3 4â the 1989 reprint has updated additions.
For those who find interest in the Constitution there is a what was at one time commonly used text book (until about 1910) written by Supreme Court Justice Joseph Story (term 1811 - 1845) âA Familiar Exposition of the Constitution of the United Statesâ [1859].

Now I'm rereading "Columbine" by Dave Cullen. I gave up on "A Winter's Tale", too long and drawn out, and the story hardly made any sense.

I downloaded three books yesterday:
"Little Girl Lost" by Brian McGilloway "The Good Sister" by Wendy Corsi Staub "Delivered from Evil: True Stories of Ordinary People Who Faced Monstrous Mass Killers and Survived" = Ron Franscell
I am a little more than halfway through Little Girl Lost. A little slow paced, but a pretty good story so far.

Way to convoluted. I thought it was pretty interesting until he met the girl with consumption (Beverly). After that it went very rapidly downhill. I understand the movie didn't translate the story very well either.
