Starting the Darktower series.. Books are coming in the mail in a couple of days... I just finished Chuck Palahniuck's Choke.. He just did an AMA on Reddit yesterday..

Let us know what you think of the ending. Everyone has a diverse opinion once they get to the finale.

Survivor is my favorite after that is fight club & choke. All definitely worth a read. 

As for me I have been reading H.P. Lovecraft and Phillip K. **** lately. Picked up Blood Meridan by Cormac McCarthy today since I have been meaning to read it for a while now.

If you guys aren't already on it, I love GoodReads. Not only does it helps keep track of progress, but I find tons of interesting new stuff. I also subscribe to the Farnham Street Newsletter and check out BrainPickings.org all the time for new stuff.

Recently read Moonwalking with Einstein. Quite an interesting book on memory as well as memory athletes.

Also read Gladwell's David Vs Goliath and found it interesting. You definitely have hints of Taleb's Antifragile as well as Gladwell's usual interesting writing style.

 

[Coromanti]

Currently reading the The Greatest Salesman in the World.

Still on the first scroll.

Currently reading Eye of God by James Rollins..It's a really good read..His Sigma series is a cool mix of Dan Brown and James Patterson..

The Mis-Education of the Negro - Carter G. Woodson
The Souls of Black Folk - W.E.B. Du Bois
On Target - Mark Greaney

I guess I'll update what I've been reading. Finished reading The Mis-Education of the Negro. A great book but sad that things have not changed since the 1900s in the black community. I started to read The Souls of Black Folk but stopped after the first chapter. The book is too passive on race relations. I need something hard hitting.

I am currently reading On Target by Mark Greaney. Really looking forward to finishing it. Afterwards I'll read Lies My Teacher Told Me : Everything Your American History Textbook Got Wrong by James W. Loewen. Sundown town was a great book and a eye opener. Hopefully this book is the same. I am also going to read a book I just found out about called Men on Strike: Why Men Are Boycotting Marriage, Fatherhood, and the American Dream - and Why It Matters by Helen Smith.

New to this thread, coming in with the age of question: Nook or Kindle?

One of my New Years Resolutions is to at least have a book or two read a month. Not sure if I wanna just go with physical copies or the e-reader route, but would like some info on either device to weigh my options.

Thanks in advance.

 

[secretzofwar]

I enjoy my kindle because I can move purchases across my iPhone and the wifey's iPad. I've got a first gen Kindle Fire, and while it isn't great, it does the job for me.

 

[suberzat1]

Studies have shown that people read a few pages faster while using a ereader over physical copy. I perfer to read the physical copy mysel tho.
I would go with the kindle over the nook. Nook is just...........
