What Are You Reading

The dual spring/summer issue of Alaska Quarterly Review,
fresh-on-the-shelf, and featuring new Alaskan poetry.

Chock full of old-cold and snow-go rhyming.

I've finally gotten around to reading Hatless Jack by Neil Steinberg. So far there is much on Kennedy, not too much on hats. I hope that changes because the reason I bought it was to read up on the history of hats in the US!

Some books tend to use titles like that to catch interest, when it's just on the person itself. Are you sure it's about hat wearing?

AQR's 'Hidden Alaska' feature has intriguing experimental and
innovative poetry; especially one gem titled: Architects of the Air,
and another nugget about Russian atrocities against native Aleuts; both
excellent and quite haunting. Some of the best poetry is emerging from
Alaska, most notably from the feminine perspective, which seems the
more dominant and insightful talent.

I just picked up The Thin Man. I am looking forward to delving into to it. I have never read this genre before, so I needed to address this failing of mine.

Books Books Books!

Jeez. Here I thought I was going to need 100 extra lifetimes to read all the books I want to read, and here you guys start me off on another 100 more.
Well, I'm just about through Churchill's WWII vol 2, Their Finest Hour, which means I only have 2408 pages to go till VJ day.

The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes, by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

"Travels with Charlie" by John Steinbeck. Not his best, which means that it is "only" wonderful. Oh, and "How to win friends and influence people" form 193somthing, just for fun. This must be one of the first self-help books ever?

Just loved TWC: the New Orleans stay is my favorite chapter.

Ah! Then on to A History of the English-Speaking Peoples? A mere four volumes, after all.

I've had the box set on my shelf for years, and just never had the commitment to start it. It sits and waits, like The Fountainhead. I have so much reading that I should be doing, that guilt prevents me from picking up anything I that I can't read in a weekend! lol This thread will probably get me into trouble, too, dhermann!

...and when reading Churchill, brandy and cigars are mandatory. :cool2:

Thanks Harp...I haven't read Junction Boys yet, but I have read more than a half dozen more books on the man. I wish there were more fedora-wearing coaches around these days. I guess its a bygone era. Oh well, I can always hope
