wasted Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 (edited) I read The Mysterious Death of Kurt Cobain - Murder or Suicide: You Decide I came to the conclusion that Courtney tampered with the note and maybe was orchestrating things. Like why call an electrician to install lights on the greenhouse 2 days after his death? This is what led Grant to think she was involved in a conspiracy. But she didn't have him killed.

Crusoe Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 I've been catching up on some classics of English Literature and have in the past two months read; Heart of Darkness, Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, The Time Machine, Wizard of Oz, and Robinson Crusoe. They have all been enjoyable and something apart from the stuff I would normally read. Robinson Crusoe was a great read and I defiantly would recommend it to anyone interested in a meticulously constructed survival story that deals with both the physical and mental side of severe isolation and struggling to survive in the wilderness. Next I think I'll read either Persuasion, or Around the World in Eighty Days. Anyone have any recommendations for their favorite English Lit. classics?

Dickens: wherever you go there is gold but try perhaps David Copperfield, Tale of Two Cities and Great Expectations first. Try also Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes shorts - you can buy collected editions - and The Hound of the Baskervilles. Treasure Island and Kidnapped (you've already read Jekyll and Hyde by Stevenson). Try also Sir Walter Scott if you liked Dickens, Waverley, Rob Roy, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me know and maybe I will check it out. I usually read mysteries and horror novels. That title sounds interesting. Thanks. The new Preston and Childs book has Gideon Crew novel. They also write Pendergast books too. Love that character so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom cruise bought the rights. The Clooney was involved. The whole thing plays into the Amanda Knox thing. I think Inread some Child Preston books too. White Fire.

dontdamnmeuyi2015 Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Oh yeah, I remember the Knoxx story. Well, I pre-ordered it. Not sure when I will actually read it. I have tons of favorite writers who write all the time, so I have a lot of books to read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a short cheap thing called Trial by Fury also by Preston. Edited June 25, 2018 by wasted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvanG Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 (edited) Lately I've been reading a lot about WW 2 again, specifically about everything that happened in the town I grew up in. For a very small town (maybe population of 1000 during those years) quite a lot happened and it was in the front line for several months during the last months of the war. A lot has been documented, from diary entries of British and German soldiers, to stories from the locals, but also the Jewish children that hid there and made it out alive to tell their story. It's fascinating. Edited July 1, 2018 by EvanG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gracii Guns Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Haha, that was supposed to go in the pets thread. Here’s my current read. As well as sound advice it has some nonsense in. If I suggested to my clients that they psychometrically profile their customers, I’d be shown the door quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazyman Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Just saw this thread, which is weird because I'm an avid reader. I just finished "A Curious Mind" by Brian Glazer and have moved on to "Janesville: An American Story" and after that will read "Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City". The last one is gonna be interesting to me because I've been purchasing rental properties lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
