railfancwb Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 I’ve lately been reading mostly digital books on my iPhone. Several Louis L’Amour titles: Last of The Breed, Haunted Mesa, Iron Marshal, and started Sitka. Before these I read three mysteries in hardback by Rita Mae Brown. Earlier I read digital copies of some Hardy Boys and Tom Swift titles. Think today these are classed as Young Adult books. Have the entire Hornblower Saga by C S Forester in PDF awaiting my attention. Also digital copies of various titles by various science fiction authors. Seems lately I’m choosing the literary equivalent of comfort food in books. My local library has been closed to browsing since the COVID mess started, which has dampened My sense of adventure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batesmotel Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 (edited) Just finished The Dogs of War. Just started The Wild Geese. My daughter bought me The History of Middle Earth. About 6000 pages. Twelve volumes bound in three books. That one will take a while. Edited January 16, 2021 by Batesmotel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huaco Kid Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 I've actually been reading The Communist Manifesto. It takes me a long while to read a book because I only read in bed and I only get a handful of pages in before I conk out. I figure if I learn to say the right thing at the right time, I'll get insulated pants and an extra pair of socks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aomagrat Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 I'm regressing back to my childhood, rereading books that I read when I was a member of the Weekly Reader Book Club. Seeking comfort in troubling times. The Secret Garden, High Country Adventure, Wild Pony Island, The Secret Raft, The House of Secrets, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
