Re-reading Richard Bach's Stranger to the Ground. Along with
St. Exupery's Wind, Sand and Stars it's one of the best airplane books that's about much more than airplanes ever written

I finished "Liberty" by Coonts some time ago and I found my lost book "September" by Rosamunde Pilcher and have been reading it whenever I get a chance. Hope to finish it soon and start another book. I have so many unread books awaiting.

Anyone else read anything recently?

I just pulled out "The Complete Sherlock Holmes". It has all the short stories and Hound of the Baskervilles. I read it about once every decade.

Finished Gone with the Wind a few weeks ago. Re-reading that brings a new appreciation for theh
southern perspective.

In keeping with the theme of The South, re-reading The Prince of Tides. Pat Conroy is amazing.
After reading this I'm going for a re-read of
Beach Music and then will tackle The Great Santini for the first time.

Also reading Hidden History of NH which is just a collection of vignettes and anecdotes
about the state. Lots of interesting and some amusing info contained in it.

Re reading Sun Tzu's "Art of War", Haruki Murakami's "Norweigan Wood" - which I started a year ago but never finished
and "Faust in Copenhangen" which I also started but never finished.

I love "The Great Santini". The book was awesome as was the movie. Robert Duvall killed as Bull Meecham.

And Nick Nolte as Tom Wingo in The Prince of Tides is spot-on as well. Still trying to get a handle on
Barbara Streisand as the beautiful psychiatrist.

Hey...it's been a crazy few weeks. At my busiest time of the year, we lost power due to the ice storm; plus two wakes/funerals,
plus tons of holiday social obligations. My personal reading has taken a way back seat...but yesterday got back to Pat Conroy.
I think you would love "The Prince of Tides." You can practically smell the marsh from his descriptions.

Off on a road trip today...MD via Albany, but will have some nice time at the lake next week.
"The Prince of Tides" AND "The Great Santini" will be done before I finally go back to work. (And maybe
"The Shack as well. That has been recommended to me. And "The Friday Night Knitting Club." I better hustle!!)
Thank you for the recommendation.

A little bit of skiing will be in the mix as well...of course...

Happy New Year to you and yours!! :- )

I love Pat Conroy. The Prince of Tides (my favorite) and all is others before are fantastic reads. Loved The Great Santini and Robert Duval was amazing in the film. Beach Music was great! Found it to be one of his most disturbing ones, but like all his others -- my outside world was on pause until I finished which ever Conroy book I was reading. Darn, now I'm going to have to pull one of my Conroy books out.

EDIT: Sorry Big K, you beat me to the punch regarding The Great Santini

I finally finished "September" by Rosamunde Pilcher. I plan on reading "The Teeth of the Tiger" by Tom Clancy next.

[XtremeJibber2001]

Just finished BLINK. The authors point was known after the first chapter, but repeated over and over again to create a book. Not that great.



Now it's on to Generation Debt. Great book so far!!!! Shows how our country has moved to a spend, spend, spend model of living.
