Honestly, the one book I really wanted to read was Mein Kampf by Adolf Hitler. The local public library had it constantly loaned out and I was on a waiting list for about 3-6 months. I finally got my chance to borrow it and I didn't even make it past the 'introduction' written by the person who translated it for that version.
Why? Because they had to essentially throw their opinion of the author into said introduction and I figured that based on that alone the translation would have also suffered.
Yes. Hitler was an evil man. But I wanted to read an unadulterated translation of the book he wrote before he came to power. Yet I have a feeling that all translated versions are like this.

Well, if you can go to amazon and look inside Saturday by Ian McEwan, you can see if it's for you. There's not a lot in the way of action as in a conventional novel, but the writing is absolutely first rate.

The Urantia but only because a friend sent it to me so I feel compelled to finish. I have aspirations to locate something else more to my liking however. It's akin to drudging through quicksand to read this thing. The language is overly verbose and the content tedious interspersed with racial epithets and the denouncement of certain human beings as biologically unfit to carry on the species, eugenics in other words.

I've read the available ASOIF books once - kudos to those going through them more than once. The books aren't bad by any stretch of the imagination but that is a heck of a lot of pages to read.
Looked at the Urantia and seems like it is ridiculously highly rated. But then again it's not my cup of tea.

I've started Confederacy of the DUnes around here somewhere; some audio short stories by DH Lawrence; some 1800s books free on Google mostly dealing with the post Civil War period. Which reminds me, I want to do Grant's autobiography, supposedly helped by Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain). I got several Frank Yerby novels from eBay I'm studying.

my first reading and its really funny. tragic what happened to the young genius writer John Kennedy Toole - how he committed suicide from all the publishers rejections and how his persistent Ma got the book finally published with the help of was it Wallace Stevens - some other famous writer. correct: A Confederacy of Dunces

Finished Benjamin Franklin's Bastard: A Novel - I picked this book up in a Kindle sale, thinking since it was historical fiction that I might enjoy it. I am actually surprised by how well I liked it. It certainly is a page turner that reminds me of Downton Abbey - a soap opera with higher production values. Apart from an anachronistic reference to an Emerson quote, I very much enjoyed this book.

Finished The Book Of Lost Things. A very unusual variation on the coming of age story. I was reminded of a cross between Time Bandits and The Fisher King as I was reading it, and those are two of my favorite stories. The writing is by turns eloquent and sparse as the situation demands, and the plot moves along at a brisk pace. Definitely worth a look.

Pillers Of The Earth,,Ken Follett
The Pillars of the Earth is a historical novel by Ken Follett published in 1989 about the building of a cathedral in the town of Kingsbridge, England. It is set in the middle of the 12th century, primarily during the Anarchy, between the time of the sinking of the White Ship and the murder of Thomas Becket. The book traces the development of Gothic architecture out of the preceding Romanesque architecture, and the fortunes of the Kingsbridge priory and village against the backdrop of historical events of the time.

Finished The Fault In Our Stars - Since the movie's newly out I figured I'd read the book which has stayed at the top of Amazon's Kindle bestseller list for a while now. The plot and characters seem pretty conventional to me, given the type of story that's being told. The two main characters are likeable enough, sometimes sounding like teenagers, but more often than not like literary professors which seemed incongruous to me. I know I am not the target demographic for this book, but I did enjoy it, and Green's writing as well.

Heh that's awesome. Good for you for reading the books as well as seeing the series. There are some things that are in the book and not in the miniseries, including one major scene (one of my favorites) so it's best to experience both. Please report back on your thoughts.
