Anyone ever read the origin of species by Charles Darwin?

Rolex1974 · 13 August 2013, 05:10 AM

Wheat Belly. It's a game changer.

cop414 · 13 August 2013, 08:54 AM

I'm about 1/2 way through Clive Cussler's Zero Hour.

SearChart · 14 August 2013, 02:33 AM

Just ordered: Round the bend by Jeremy Clarkson, Jackdaws by Ken Follet and American Assassin by Vince Flynn.

Yup ages ago.
It’s almost jaw dropping how well his observations and conclusions hold up after 154 years.

He was a very clever man, too bad his studies and conclusions were not recognised in that period of time.

I'll get this book next time I'll order some books.

Was just talking about this one tonight ... Rich Dad, Poor Dad

SearChart · 22 February 2014, 12:53 AM

I think this thread deserves a bump ...

I've been reading some more 'Mitch Rapp' books by Vince Flynn recently, I'm now halfway through Transfer of Power, I really love these secret service action stories (books, series and movies).

Anyone else who read these?

Frogdog · 22 February 2014, 01:05 AM

"Conversations with God (An Uncommon Dialogue) by Neale Donald Walsch.

skypilot · 23 February 2014, 01:08 PM

"The Road to Serfdom" by Hayek, definitely not light reading. I can only deal with about 20 pages per day.

SearChart · 16 February 2016, 06:36 AM

Thought it was time to revive this thread.
Currently reading Cold by Ranulph Fiennes.

I like the Mitch Rapp books as well.

Currently reading Fantasy in Death (not very good, futuristic cop story) for my light reading and The Last Tycoons as my heavy reading.

Ticknaway · 16 February 2016, 02:50 PM

The Great Books Reader by John Mark Reynolds and then I will try and finish Dante's The Divine Comedy

On my desk and in a short que however I am a slow slow reader...too many distractions.

Currently reading the shock doctrine

In our thoughts Mark hoping the LHG is finding joy

locutus49 · 16 February 2016, 03:21 PM

Re-reading Odd John by Olaf Stapledon. I somehow identify with the protagonist.

East Bay Rider · 17 February 2016, 02:06 PM

Just finished The Oregon Trail by Rinker Buck - I highly recommend it.
Now I'm reading The Working Tools of Leadership by Michael J. Kurcab.

SearChart · 29 August 2018, 06:21 AM

Time to revive this thread, for the avid readers

I'm currently reading 'Eye of the needle' by Ken Follett.

tudorbaja27 · 29 August 2018, 06:35 AM

Robert Greene - 48 Laws of Power is current read.

AzPaul · 29 August 2018, 08:56 AM

A Grumpy Badger thread. That's a tad bittersweet.
Here's to you sir

goin camping · 29 August 2018, 09:09 AM

Anyone else a Terry Pratchett fan?

Currently reading the Hogfather.

Toony · 29 August 2018, 09:17 AM

Eeny Meeny by M J Aldredge. Just finished.

FTX I · 29 August 2018, 09:23 AM

Ronald Dworkin Law's Empire

joeychitwood · 29 August 2018, 10:06 AM

Just finished "The President is Missing" by James Patterson and Bill Clinton. Really a good book, and the scenario is terrifying. Terrorists create a virus which will proliferate through the Internet and delete every file in America's computers.

RW16610 · 29 August 2018, 11:10 AM

Finished reading this almost a month ago, it was a very good read:

Exactly this.
I rarely read books but miss the Grumpy Badger!

THC · 29 August 2018, 11:25 AM

Sad to see Grumpy Badger posts in the beginning of this thread..

Dan Sliva and Gabriel Allon are mentioned and I also have read them all ...currently reading his latest that just got released

I never knew him, but RIP Mark

This is the OG of book threads, because it's Mark's thread

I have a few more books laying around in the house, will do a new haul after I've read those

There a lot of stuff on the list!

Sounds crazy even though I kind of wish some technology would vanish every now and again.

Colin G · 30 August 2018, 08:09 AM

My favourite book is magazines. Lol.

I have been reading mostly WWII history books lately.
