Haha 2 and 3 I downloaded for free also.
I got a nice leather bound version of Count though. I prefer to fill my bookcases.

I'm reading Beowulf for about the hundredth time. I love that poem. I read it at least twice a year and every time I read it I pick up something in it I hadn't noticed before, or something I thought I'd picked up changes and I no longer have it. Someone on page 2 mentioned reading the latest Clancy. Anyone else find that somewhat surreal?

I haven't tried Beowulf but I admire anyone who can read poetry or plays. I recently read The Trojan Women by Euripedes and it was tough.

I've read Gone With the Wind. It's a good read. I'm now reading one of the free uploads from Book Bub.

Found a DVD narration by Michael Redgrave. He is good.

I read all the Longmire books....
That's about it since High school accept the Bible and a few Christian self help books.
Never been to a camping world. I prefer Dick's to be honest.

I’m reading the latest Jack Reacher, Blue Moon. It’s typical Jack Reacher with the exception of his recent use of guns which he typically avoided. This book continues to remind me of pac-man. Read it and you will get it.

I'm a sucker for books set in Texas. What do you THFers think of this one?
Stillwater By Melissa Lenhardt When ex–FBI agent Jack McBride becomes police chief of a small Texas town, he expects peace and quiet — but soon finds himself investigating multiple murders and uncovering explosive secrets. “A compelling page-turner… Stillwater is a one-sitting read” (Agatha Award–winning author Hank Phillippi Ryan). Crime Fiction $1.99 $12.99
