Lots of nice recommendations discussed here. Some read by myself some not. I too have always enjoyed reading. Going way back, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is a favorite. On the lighter side this is a good read…
Enjoy!!

Another author that will make you laugh out loud (like on an airplane) is Bill Bryson. Two notable titles are shown below.
Now I don’t agree with Mr. Bryson’s political disposition, but he is a very humorous writer.
More recently, I’ve been reading different authors bios on Galileo. I’ve always enjoyed wondering and thinking about, how did historical figures like Galileo reach their conclusions. Fascinating stuff.
I've started reading again. Got Hatchet and The Lord of the Flies. Haven't read either after high school.
So then I bought Trail of Tears. Looks interesting.
Then I bought Man's Search for Meaning, waiting for them to ship out.
Then this started the whole thing. I went and bought "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich: A History of Nazi Germany." Now, if someone would have told me that this one was 1150~ pages...I'd probably still have gotten it.
I'll be starting this shindig sometime next week or so.
Us reads viewers a fur. Thats guys a weeks shared reds.
I have to say, I only read in 9th grade and 12th grade. Rest of it was poetry and all that crap. 9th grade I read The Lord of the Flies, Animal Farm, I think one more. 12th grade was not Hamlet but the other one, and Fahrenheit 451. My mom read all those other books like The River, Bridge to Terrabithia (or however you spell it), quite a few others.
It's weird coming back from a stroke. Even weirder after getting left out on the floor for 12 hours and they finally let you in. I could talk for hours I feel, but I could only get like a quarter of it out. Up from <1% before.
Anyways...what was I saying?

We have no Earthly idea, but please tell us more. If this isn’t the place to get these thoughts and feelings out then this isn’t a place I want to be.
So far, it truly is one of the best books I have ever read. A masterpiece. Every time I go back and read something from one of the iconic authors of the pre-television era (like Steinbeck or Dickens), I am dumbfounded. It is their ability to be so descriptive without being dull that leaves me in awe. Steinbeck was ahead of his time.

I was supposed to read that over the summer prior to senior year for AP Lit. Didn't read it and dropped the class.
