I thought there was a thread on this already, but could not find it. Perhaps it was cleared in the Great Reset.

Just finished Shoeless Joe by W.P. Kinsella. This is the novel that inspired the movie Field of Dreams. Great book. Whether you like baseball, Field of Dreams, Kevin Kostner, America, or all of the above, it's definitely worth reading.

Started Lord of the Rings... again

This is on my list, but I intend to start with the hobbit, and I think i'll wait til winter. Somehow, LOTR just seems like a winter tale to me. Kinda like the Harry Potter books.

And right now I'm on a Crichton kick. Just finished this...

I've seen the movie Andromeda Strain, haven't read the book.

I've seen the movie Andromeda Strain, haven't read the book.

Its good. I can't remember if I read it before or after Andromeda Strain but I like Crichton's writing style. Vaguely reminds me of Clancy in the sense that he seems to know quite a bit about his subjects and it is informative fiction sometimes.

I'm the opposite now. Heard of the movie, but never saw it. I read Jurassic Park, Lost World, and Pirate Latitudes by Crichton last year, and thought I'd hit a few more of his biggies. The book was good.

Agreed. Everything he writes seems very well researched, at least to the layman. And he covers a broad range of topics.

And when I get tired of reading about UFOs, eastern mysticism and the charismatic,

This is a reread from 25 years ago prior to becoming Orthodox

The Widow of the South
By Robert Hicks.
Interesting story and the basic storyline is true.

 

[Bartman]

A Storm of Swords by George R.R. Martin which I started about 2 years ago
Institutes of the Christian Religion by John Calvin

I just finished Stagecoach by Max Brand. I'll be looking for more of those

Started Lord of the Rings... again

I just finished reading through the entire trilogy for like the fifth time this past summer.

Currently I'm on a big Cookbook kick. I just bought a copy of "Afield - A Chef's Guide to Preparing and Cooking Wild Game" by Jesse Griffiths. Super informative and lots of how-to's like skinning and field dressing small game in addition some really interesting recipes!
