So... what are you reading?

[Son of the Rock]

A Japanese grammar book for my exam tomorrow. Maybe I should be doing more of that and less of the internet. :S

I have not picked up a new book yet, but just finished "Like a Might Army," seventh in the Safehold scifi series I've been reading. This new one just came out in late February. Not much character development till near the end, so not as good as previous novels.

Currently

"The Martian" by Andy Weir.

Imagine Robinson Crusoe crossed the McGuyver.

During the third human expedition to Mars an astronaut is thought by his crew members to have been killed during a sandstorm. They are forced by the storm to leave him.

But he is not dead.

He must now figure out how to survive with the supplies left behind as part of a planned, future habitat.

Solidly based on actual scientific knowledge this book, while a work of fiction, is far from what we would think of as SiFi.

A very good read. It carries you along at a fast pace with at least one surprise every couple of pages.

Presently taking a break, but today, I'm reading Essentials of Human Anatomy and Physiology (10th edition), by Elaine N. Marieb. This is finals week at school. And I am 'this close' to earning an 'A' for the course.

Will do. Oops.

Finally finished slogging through Emerson. Currently re-(re-, re-, re-, ...) reading Alexandre Dumas' The Three Musketeers. Probably gonna move on to The Man in the Iron Mask and The Count of Monte Cristo, then go back through my Ludlum collection before tackling some Nathaniel Hawthorne (Selected Tales and Sketches).

This is what separates Science Fiction from Fantasy for me. Sadly the modern editors and publishers don't use our yard stick.

I am reading "Scottish Regiments in the British Army" and "Royal Regiment of Scotland Dress regulations" both free from www.Archive.org.
They have a large list of history of the scottish clans. just type Scottish Regiments in the search.

Just started "The Devil's Paintbrush(Sir Hiram Maxim's Gun) by Dolf Goldsmith. A much easier book to wade through than the other book------"The Grand Old Lady Of No Man's Land"------ by the same author that I have just completed.
