What BOOK are you reading right now?

I honestly can't remember the name or the author !! All I know it is hilarious....will check and post.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Crisis on Infinite Earths by Marv Wolfman and George Perez was also great.

You can't forget Origin (Wolverine) that was good too.

finished listening to columbine, very enjoyable considering the subject matter

started listening to Soon I Will Be Invincible by Austin Grossman



Doctor Impossible, evil genius, diabolical scientist, wannabe world dominator, languishes in a federal detention facility. He's lost his freedom, his girlfriend, and his hidden island fortress.

Over the years, he's tried to take over the world in every way imaginable, using doomsday devices of all varieties (nuclear, thermonuclear, nanotechnological) and mass mind control. He's traveled backwards in time to change history, forward in time to escape it. He's commanded robot armies, insect armies, and dinosaur armies. A fungus army. An army of fish. Of rodents. Aliens. All failures. But not this time. This time it's going to be different.

Fatale is a rookie superhero on her first day with the Champions, the world's most famous superteam. She's a patchwork woman of skin and chrome, a gleaming technological marvel built for the next generation of warfare. Filling the void left by a slain former member, we watch as Fatale joins a team struggling with a damaged past, having to come together in the face of unthinkable evil.

Soon I Will Be Invincible is a thrilling first novel, a fantastical adventure that gives new meaning to notions of power, glory, responsibility, and (of course) good and evil.

The Russian Debutante's Handbook. Just started. Quite impressed so far.

The Leisure Seeker by Michael Zadoorian. Fistion, the story of an elderly (in their 80's)couple, she is in final stage cancer having been through chemo and radiation and her husband with serious alzheimers defy their adult children and their medical doctors and leave detroit to follow route 66 all the way to disneyland in their 29 year old rv. Route 66 is as broken down as they are with most of it replaced by modern interstate highways but they continually seek what remains of route 66 or other forgotten byways. John (the husband) can't remember what state they are in so the wife is the navigator; she wants to feel the wind in her face so she tosses her wig (a token of her therapy as well as her vanity) and they keep on trucking in spite of their childrens demands that they stop this foolishness.

I hope you don't mind, I have just cut and pasted a goodish section of your review onto another forum. (If you do mind, say so, I will take it out again) Someone was asking about what to read and I thought your description of Soon I Will Be Invincible sounded just right for them.

Tell me more?????????

The Zoya Factor - this one is strictly for Indian Cricket fans only - anyone else will get bored.....

A Lion Among Men by Gregory Maguire

I thoroughly enjoyed his other books (Wicked, Son of a Witch, Memoirs of an Evil Stepsister and Mirror Mirror) so far I am not disappointed.

Good book suggestions, dys and patiodog.

I'm listening to Rory Stewart's "Prince of the Marshes," very interesting... but I'm looking for an alternate read, fiction, when that mood hits.

Waiting for Natalie Greenberg's "Long Quiet Highway," a $1.99 second hand copy arriving from a B & N purveyor.

Wounded Crows Don't Fly
Edward Motketsan

looks interesting

I also got his book, Logo, which I plan to tackle next.

I should note that Eddy is a friend of mine.

i had sort of suspected that, can't really say why, but hearing you say that didn't surprise me

I ordered the book "A Pilgrim Muddles Through: being ANNALS FROM A LIFE" by a friend, Prof. Bob Brodsky, which should arrive early this week. He told us (his friends) that "I absolutely guarantee that it will be the best book you have ever read!"

I'll report back after I've read it, and tell you if it's worth the $21 bucks.
