For August, how about a book title with August in it?

From a blog, and not a bad one at that. Scripture for a Dead God. "I would argue that Leaves of Grass is the first great work of scripture to be penned since modernity killed God." Well then.......

What a career..... http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/el-doctorow-dead_55aeed2ce4b08f57d5d2ead6?

I hear James Patterson is teaching a writing class........

Oh yeah, not difficult at all. It's simply written and straight forward when it comes to worldview.

Yep, a non-fiction argument, no matter how unproven or stretched, is still non-fiction.

That is a great book, no doubt about it. I'd also read Leadership Lessons of Abraham Lincoln. It will give you more of an insight as to how he dealt with some of those personalities, especially the slow as molasses moving generals.

If nobody reads, then why is YA booming? Trivial reading is still reading and at a younger age, it can lead to more substantive reading. You have to start somewhere and what interests you at a certain time can spark interest in other areas. I would imagine the reaction to the young man is more...

And "progress" marches on. http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-27762088

The Guardian has an interesting article of the best novels so far. I love the inclusion of Diaz and The Corrections. I'm surprised that The Road was considered a "runner up" though I bet it moves up the rankings in the future. No list can be without its flaws right...

Loving this book!! About 115 pages to go, should be a great weekend finish.

Loved the Doctorow book, just finished it yesterday. The:eek: Collyer brothers:confused: were quite something else. I've always enjoyed Doctorow's writing and I think Ragtime was masterful in how it wove in multiple characters in all of their complexities in a smooth story, absolutely...

This Is How You Lose Her. I really liked it, it reminded me of Sandra Cisneros's book The House on Mango Street, only from a male perspective. It was more of a novella, but I liked it as much as I did The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, which was the first book of his that I read. I highly...

Just starting the Junot Diaz book tonight. I'm done with Dawkins and I can't wait for the opening lines of the Karen Armstrong book.

A lot of it has to do with who the reader is. I love reading Simon Winchester. Listening to him is entirely another matter.

I've got the perfect book for you: http://www.amazon.com/Internet-Not-Answer-Andrew-Keen-ebook/dp/B00JLQ4Q9A/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1422817201&sr=1-1&keywords=the+internet+is+not+the+answer

Love the avatar-Ferdinand the Bull rocks! Another political banned book.

I've really been surprised by her success. She graduated from UNL and wrote a column for the Omah World-Herald for a year or so. She got some "hate letters" in the letters to the editor section when she wrote about coming home drunk from a bar crawl. One of her books has also been targeted by...
