On TheRoad To Adventure Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Just finished reading "Rowing to Latitude" by Jill Fredston. This is a very well-written true story about a couple who has rowed hundreds of miles in the Arctic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Just finished: Tad Williams- The Heart Of What Was Lost A short novella set directly after the events of Memory, Sorrow And Thorn. Published earlier this year, it was the first substantial work set in the kingdom of Osten Are to be published since 1993. It serves as a bridge between that earlier classic and what I now just started: Tad Williams- The Witchwood Crown (Book One of "The Last King Of Osten Ard") I am already finding this to be a very emotional read. Tad Williams work is very precious to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Union 5-3992 Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 cool cover. how was the book? worth 40 cents? :PI also believe it's a book Neil Peart cites as something that influenced his lyrics. I know he mentioned it in old interviews 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was really surprised at the underlying darkness in the book (possibly due to him working out some WW2 memories?)"Galapagos" is one of his best."Welcome to the Monkey House" has some great short stories.And so on. http://cdn8.openculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/vonngeut-ideas.jpg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue J Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 A couple of Iris Murdoch books I've read lately: A Severed Head (absolutely ridiculous book...definitely not her best. Skip). The Sandcastle ...and just started on The Good Apprentice, which I just love. Read it one time before, about five years ago. Had forgotten how good it is.
