Loved the story of their difficulties in finding a copy of That Hagen Girl.

Got the first five books of The Expanse series for my birthday and am currently hallway through Caliban's War. It's sooooo much better than the TV series, to the point that I think I'll pass on the sixth season when Amazon puts it up.

well i'm now reading Mr. Mercedes by Stephen King (2014) i had read #196 pages  of it and than i just didn't feel like reading anymore and it wasn't cause i thought the book was bad either. i picked it back up late Friday night Early Saturday Morning and now i've read over 40 pages! i'm on page #244 thus far anyways and i hope to finish it this time

[pennywise37]

well i finished it yesterday and i liked it but it's not gonna be among my favorites and it honestly didn't feel like a King novel either and that's not a bad thing either.

it's not anything against the novel is what i'm saying  i'd say 8/10.     now i'm reading the Killer's Wedge by Ed McBain (1959)  the i think 7th or 8th 87th Precinct novel i forget which

Rocks: My Life In and Out of Aerosmith, by Joe Perry with David Ritz

[pennywise37]

honestly i had no idea Joe Perry even wrote a book to be honest

[pennywise37]

well i finished that book that was the 8th by the way & now i'm reading the 9th called Till Death and this one i've read a few times through the years and i think it's one of the best ones but i haven't read it in years though so i actually do not  remember anything about it

Not going to be easy reading, but it's been sitting in my "to get to" pile forever and it's time to do it!

i finished 2 books 1. Death Du Juror (1999) by Kathy Reighs which i think i spelled wrong? i never can seem to spell it right i guess lol. but she created the character Bones from the same show though in the book she's not called that and the book i read was the 2nd book in her Temperance Brennan book series.

i love the show but when i started the 1st book a couple years back and read that i knew it was gonna be completely different and it is and that's not a bad thing either, well that was yesterday morning i finished that and this morning i finished another one  Unnatural Exposure (1997( by Patrica Cornwell i started this sucker which is book #8 in her Scarpetta series than at some point i just didn't feel like reading anymore and it wasn't cause the book was bad either.

i get that way sometimes for some strange reason anyways, it only had like i think 74 pages left and i finished that last night in fact and both books were pretty good actually.

now i'm reading Patrica Cornwell's 9th book Point of Origin (1998)  this one i haven't read yet i'm only on like page 6 i think? on how long i've had this damn book i bought it in like (1999) when the paperback came out so it took me over 20 years to finally get around to actually reading it! anyone take that long to read a book they bought or was given years ago?

East of West by Jonathan Hickman. Cyberpunk western with the four horsemen and a very different America. It's pretty interesting so far.

i'm currently reading 2 books actually i read whatever the hell i'm in the mood for that's just the way i roll i guess. i've always been that way so the one i'm reading tonight it's the 10th book in the Kay Scarpetta series Black Notice (1999) by Patrica Cornwell  & the other is book #3 Deadly Decisions by Kathy Reichs (2000)

one i'm only on chapter 5 in Black Notice and i think Chapter maybe 3 in Deadly decisions i forget

Oliver Stone's CHASING THE LIGHT: a really good book about his life and attempts to break into Hollywood.

https://www.amazon.com/Chasing-Light-Directing-Surviving-Midnight/dp/0358346231

I know some people don't like him but I actually do and I never knew he had a sense of humor (a good one too).

[pennywise37]

well i did finish Black notice (1999) but i haven't finished Deadly Decisions that for now is put aside.  i did finish one book though Centatur Aisle (1981) by Piers Anthony Book #4 in the Xanth series at the moment i dunno if i'm gonna finish it or not but i'm currently reading book #5 Ogre,Ogre (1982) again by Piers Anthony this one is one of my favorite books in the long extremely long Xanth Series.

It's not his worst pick for Fifty Worst Films of All Time. He also picked "Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia," "Ivan the Terrible," and "Last Year in Marienbad."
