Does Bruce Springsteen know about this?

He probably told them to just take it....he hates that song.
Just got a book from the Library: Forgotten Civilization by Robert M. Schoch, Ph.D. This is an impressive book. I think this is the same scientist that did a short series on PBS a few years back with alternate theories on numerous archæological sites.
This is a fascinating read.
Over the last two weeks I've finished War, by Sebastian Junger and Agent Zigzag, by Ben MacIntyre. Currently working on Motherless Brooklyn, by Jonathan Lethem.

I can't tell if it's a mystery or science fiction.
The odd thing is that it isn't in five chapters. It's in five layers, and you have to scrape your way through it. Who Gnu?
It's a nail biter.
I'm waiting to see if the guy suffering from shingles ends up getting hammered.
15 pound felt like it was lifted off his shoulder, he told the contractor.
I'm gonna follow JEF's backwards tech and put the shingles down first and cover them with the 15# felt.
That's shocking

Thinking about taking up cw when i get my 817 in a few months. Been many many years since i used cw and even then i only used it rarely. Gotta rebuild my mental discipline though. Its slipped big time in the last few yearsm
Now on The Glass Teat by Harlan Ellison. A series of essays and columns that he wrote in the late 60s in the Los Angeles Free Press (FREEP).
I finished a HUGE book, Haunted America. Then i knocked out The Appian Way by Robert Kaster, an academic roadie about the ancient roads of Italy and all the history surrounding it.
I started reading The Songlines by Bruce Chatwin, about an Englishman going down to Oz and trying and earn enough trust of the white-hating Aborigines to let him hang out and learn about the ancient Songlines that the natives have been singing since the dream time. I will finish that one, but first, im going to crank out a simple book for fun, Ghosts of New England.
After that...who knows. I have a few to choose from (this is just ONE pile).

Nice selection. I'm doing the home is where your stuff is, so the Library must be my home. Downloading the books to the Nook from the Libraries here (still have the cards from the 3 Libraries in NYC too). Came in handy in the winter of 2012-13 when we were snowed in for 3 weeks...

Now beginning San Francisco Noir and Los Angeles Noir.
My son has summer homework, he has to read two books and and do a report on each. He picked 'Beloved' by Toni Morrison which, I read back in 1989 before there was a public Internetwork and, 'A Choice of Weapons' by Gordon Parks.
I am currently reading the Gordon Parks autobiography first and then I will re-read 'Beloved'.

At the moment I'm reading Train: Riding the Rails That Created the Modern World-from the Trans-Siberian to the Southwest Chief but I doubt I'll get very far into it before I have to return it over the weekend.
Tonight may be the night i finish up Ghost Files of New England. Its a fun little read.
Next up...i have about 5 i can go with, but it looks like i will be putting The Secret Life of Water in rotation.
Ah, The Secret Life of Water Mitty, a fun read.
I am reading "Say No More; The Story of a Minnesota Bushtit Who Said It All".
Just borrowed "In Fifty Years We'll All Be Chicks" By Adam Carolla. The blurb got me:
Well, we'll see how well Adam makes his point. :lol:Quote:
A couple years back, I was at the Phoenix airport bar. It was empty except for one heavy-set, gray bearded, grizzled guy who looked like he just rode his donkey into town after a long day of panning for silver in them thar hills. He ordered a Jack Daniels straight up, and that's when I overheard the young guy with the earring behind the bar asking him if he had ID. At first the old sea captain just laughed. But the guy with the twinkle in his ear asked again. At this point it became apparent that he was serious. Dan Haggerty's dad fired back, "You've got to be kidding me, son." The bartender replied, "New policy. Everyone has to show their ID." Then I watched Burl Ives reluctantly reach into his dungarees and pull out his military identification card from World War II.
Just finished the Water book. It appears he was "debunked" by scientists, religious and big money people...but his book was mostly about living smaller, in harmony with the earth and eachother and you dont need big oil or religion...so of course they will seek to "debunk" him. He's alright by me.
I am now on to Wager With The Wind; The Don Sheldon Story. A legendary bush pilot in Alaska...i recognize most of the places and have been to his hometown of Talkeetna quite a few times. Its an older book, written by his friends and released in October of 1974, he would be dead a few months after that, so its kind of weird reading about him with that in mind. So far, though, its well written with a lot of adventures. Its a good read for the aviation minded among us.
Are you two going to peck away at eachother all day?
