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.

Anyone read Gone With the Wind? Is it a chick book or an acceptable male read? Lol

Add Rime of the Ancient Marinerto that list. Another epic poem that reread often. Found a DVD narration by Michael Redgrave. He is good.

Excellent book. The author, Gwynne, has wrote a book about Stonewall Jackson that was good too. Book name is Rebel Yell.

I read all the Longmire books....

That's about it since High school accept the Bible and a few Christian self help books.

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.
