What Book Are You Reading? Part 2

[Doodyville10019]

When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops? by George Carlin.

[Shine]

Citizen Spielberg by Lester D. Friedman

An interesting book in which Friedman argues that despite Spielberg's reputaion as a popular entertainer, that he still has earned the right to be regarded as a serious artist. Even though I've always loved quite a few of Spielberg's films, it wasn't really until about two years ago that I began to view him as a serious artist along the same lines as an Alfred Hitchcock or a Stanley Kubrick.

Once Upon A Time: Behind The Fairy Tale of Princess Grace and Prince Rainier by J. Randy Taraborrelli

I read that book. I'm a big fan of Grace Kelly. :) She was a great actress.

[Shine]

American Lion: Andrew Jackson In the White House by Jon Meacham.


Do you like it? I plan to read it. :)

[Sharop]

I plan to start reading Narcissus and Goldmund by Hermann Hesse.

[Torgo]

The first time I read it I was confused as the book jumps around to different characters, jumps to different times, and jumps to different perspectives- one minute you're reading first person perspective, the next- third person. And these things sometimes happen right in the middle of a sentence or paragraph. But it's become one of my favorite books.

[80sTrivia]

Infected by Scott Sigler :eek:

[Hollywood Rock Chic]

Swanson on Swanson; Gloria Swanson's 1980 autobiography. Read the book before, but recently purchased it at a local used bookstore. It is a fascinating look at one of the most successful silent film era's actresses.

Yeah, I read it in a sitting, too. Def. makes you think, huh? You should try to buy/rent the movie. It does a really good job of staying true to the book, and the casting is really good, too.

What do you think of The Tommyknockers? In my opinion, it was one of King's weaker novels. Especially since it came after such classics as It (released a year before) and Misery (released earlier the same year). Still, that is just my opinion. You might really enjoy the book. :)

[TVQuack]

Well I've read both It and Misery and thought they were awesome. :)

I'm only about 100 pages in....and honestly that was a month ago or so and I just put it down and re-read Angels and Demons because of the movie that came out....and yes I was severely disappointed by that.....

So far it is interesting, I just have to find time to get caught up on it more.

[Shine]

Well I've read both It and Misery and thought they were awesome. :)


I read It in 1997 and loved it. Even though it was a really long book (1,000 + pages) it kept me interested the entire time I was reading it. I think I read the last 200 pages in one night. I just wanted to know how it was going to turn out. Even though I had seen the television movie, I had heard that the ending was more complex in the novel. Which it was. One of these days I'm going to have to reread it. :)

Currently, I'm delighted to be reading the somewhat contemporary, self- improvement classic, "The Magic of Thinking Big", by David J. Schwartz, Ph.D. I find it easy to describe this book as a somewhat contemporary classic. That is because of the sage advice and staunch optimisim located thruout the book itself. That specfic quality makes the text just as relevant nowadays, as it was when the book was first introduced to readers in 1959. It is presently being published by Fireside/ Simon Schuster.

I don't really think he portrayed Michael in a bad light. Joe, definitely, and to some degree the brothers. It's common knowledge that some of them cheated on their wives and girlfriends and even had illegitimate children - so the author wasn't making any fabrications there.

That sounds like an interesting book! I might have to check that one out.

I'm reading Lions Don't Need to Roar: Using the Leadership Power of Professional Presence to Stand out, Fit in, and Move Ahead by D. A. Benton

It is! I just saw it randomly on a shelf at the library today because I was there to check out another book. It's a good read - and I'd also recommend the two biographies J. Randy Tarraborelli wrote about Diana Ross.

Married to laughter :heart: by Jerry Stiller.

That's a good book! I read it last winter. Very interesting, hearing about his childhood, but I wish he would have talked about being on Seinfeld more.

I'm reading a wonderful book called "Finding Salvation at the Dairy Queen" by Susan Gregg Gilmore. It's great so far, and I'm sure before I'm finished, I'm going to have to stop by Dairy Queen for a Dilly Bar! Or better yet, a TagAlong Blizzard AND a Dilly Bar! Oh the memories of going to DQ with my grandmother!

Check it out! I won a contest with my review of this book! How cool is that?! Here's my "bragging post"!!!

Sorry, didn't feel like cutting and pasting to get all my comments in one post!

Right now I'm reading this awesome book called "Singing With the Top Down". Until just a few days ago, I was making myself crazy, trying to remember the name of the book. I'd read it before and was dying to read it again and all I knew was the plot. I still can't believe that the title just "came to me" after all the time I spent searching online with no luck whatsoever! I'm going to buy this book for my collection!!!
