Turbine Freight Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 I'm reading Salem's Lot by Stephen King again. This is my favourite King novel thus far. I haven't read them all but I think I've read most of them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjbear05 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 (edited) Just started Do You Feel Like I Do? Frampton's memoir. Hoo, boy, right at the start: "Let me tell you one thing -if Peter Frampton does not play, first I kill you, then I kill Peter Frampton". Local promoter in Panama City, Panama, to Peter's road manager. The night before, their cargo plane, carrying their gear, crashed leaving the runway in Caracas, Venezuela, destroying everything, including ( Or so Peter believed at the time) his main axe- his '54 triple pickup Les Paul. They couldn't find gear to play the venue, and the road manager had just informed the promoter-a very good friend of Manuel Noriega-that Pete couldn't play which led to the threats. Siddown and strap in, it's gonna be a bumpy ride! Edited January 4, 2021 by pjbear05 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueschica Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 (edited) Ian Hunter was the lead singer for Mott the Hoople and this is his tour diary from the 70's. It's kind of like Neil's book Roadshow; it has that level of detail but instead of being disappointed in everything Hunter is always bemused by we strange Americans. :) It's been interesting so far. Not much sex and drugs but instead a lot of rock n roll mishaps and searching of pawn shops in every city for used Les Paul's and Gibsons.

Jack Aubrey Posted February 23, 2021 Author Share Posted February 23, 2021 I've been binging hard on graphic novels lately. I loved comic books as a kid and now that I'm in my 50's, I guess I'm getting a little sentimental and am trying to recapture a bit of my youth. Currently I'm reading Batman: White Knight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhyta Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Just finished City of the Lost by Kelley Armstrong. I had a copy of it on my e-reader and just opened it up two nights ago. It is a thriller which is a change of pace for her, she has written a lot of paranormal stuff that I liked. This is a thriller/mystery and it doesn't disappoint. Casey Duncan has a secret, she killed a man and got away with it. Or did she? When it seems her past may be catching up to her, an escape route appears. It appears ideal, leave your life behind to go to a place where you are safe from your secrets. She also has her friend Diana who needs to get away from an abusive ex-husband, so this chance comes for both of them to leave town and they take it.She comes to Rockton (in Yukon Territory) as the newest member of the small law enforcement crew, a detective brought in to solve some missing persons/murders. The Sheriff makes it plain he doesn't like her so she has 6 months to tough it out and solve some local mysteries in the process. Everyone here has a past they want to escape so there are lots of suspicious characters, including the Sheriff himself. A taut thriller with many twists and turns. I didn't figure out who the culprit was, it truly was out of left field. Very well done. I just checked the second one out from the library. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
