Well, how is it, and what are you going to do with it when you are done ?

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

Just downloaded The Amateur, I'm fed-up with Politics but this book seems interesting, and also if enough people buy it it might get to #1 on the NYT list, unless the NYT is still putting Conservative Books in the Cooking Section.

I ordered the hard copy which should be here Friday.  Have you started it yet?

I finished reading Tom Sawyer.  Slightly silly and completely enjoyable.  I can't believe I've never read it all the way through before.

I'm plowing through Larry Correia's books right now.  I read fast, I love Science Fiction/Fantasy and I am SICK of the liberal slant in 98% of the genre.  My son recommended 'Monster Hunter, International' and I loved it!  It ain't deep but it's very satisfying somehow.  It's not something I'd have picked up on my own but I just finished the third book.

I'm almost finished with Lee Child's "The Affair". It gives background on his great character Jack Reacher. I love his Reacher novels.

I automatically think paperback or hardback when I think book. I need to get into the current decade or so.

It's nice.  I have a bad habit of falling asleep and dropping books on the floor (or my face).  I've been lucky and haven't dropped my Kindle yet.

My only complaint is the small screen on the Kindle Fire.  I like the internet access and color display, though.

Yes, I see what you mean, the iPad is bigger, but I'm not in love with it, yet.

Got Kindle on my iPad, but I don't really like it. There's nothing like the feel of a real book in my hands. Much prefer paper.

Just finished reading Ron Chernow's very large biography on Alexander Hamilton again. Always a good read.

I'm with you there. I like how the book looks after you finish it and put it on your bookshelf. I like the idea that the book can be passed around as well.

I looked hard to find a digitized alternative to the book I'm reading now, because I almost fell out of my chair when I saw how expensive it was.  Luckily, I was able to get one on loan through the University of Saint Louis:

Ahah, $2,500.00 for a hard copy 2003 edition (I assume first edition). Maybe it's a collector's item ?

  Just finished Jeffery Deaver's XO. A bit of a disappointment to me . He has always let his liberalism show through a little but he was blatant this time , Needlessly.

There weren't any paperbacks published. I looked there, too. :-) 

But hey, I can get a used one for $973.   :tongue:
