We look forward to the time when the power of love will replace the love of power. Then will our world know the blessings of peace.

The Shack is a really good book. I'm finishing up Shantaram by Gregory Roberts. Easily one of my top three books.Originally Posted by chojo

I've been reading a General Class prep manual also!
Re: What Was the Last Book You Read?
I'm sort of in the weeds with the General Class material, but think I'm ready for Technician test next month...
So do you have your Technician License already? Call sign??!

Latest book I read is The Lost Letters of Pergamum, an epistolary novel about the early Christian church. Well done, but perhaps a little too didactic to really work well.

Re: What Was the Last Book You Read?
Just finished a few crime novels. It must be the waning winter weather.
Heartstone and Lamentation by C. J. Sansom. The latest in the Matthew Shardlake series: a hunchback lawyer and his sidekicks during Tudor times.
Arkady Renko of Gorky Park is another character that has held my interest. Just finished Havana Bay and Wolves Eat Dogs.

"The Brethren" by H. Rider Haggard, actually I am reading it. I am a huge fan of The Gutenberg Project.

The Terror by Dan Simmons.
"The novel is a fictionalized account of Captain Sir John Franklin's lost expedition of HMS Erebus and HMS Terror to the Arctic to force the Northwest Passage in 1845–1848. In the novel, while Franklin and his crew are plagued by starvation and scurvy and forced to contend with mutiny and cannibalism, they are stalked across the bleak Arctic landscape by a monster".
Re: What Was the Last Book You Read?
"You're Never Weird on the Internet (Almost)" by Felicia Day. That was fun and interesting.
The Old Man's War Series by John Scalzi. The first three books I re-read before picking up "The Human Division" followed by "The End of All Things". Now I'm current again.
I also recently listened to Ray Bradbury's "Fahrenheit 451". When I got to the part where Guy Montag began to act irrationally I found myself pausing the book and listening to podcasts instead. Picking up my Kindle one evening to read I found that I had started to read the book a few years ago and that I had left off at exactly the same spot. Thinking back to High School I realized that I hadn't finished the story there either. I must have faked my way through the book review in class. So I forced myself to finish the story only to be left wondering what the hell that was all about. If I ever go to a shrink I'll have to bring it up.
