    Is anybody reading anything?

    You know, like a good book?

    I haven't read anything in ages and I'm really missing Lord Rahl and the Confessor. I also miss Juan Cabrillo and Clive just hasn't turned out another Oregon story that holds my interest.

    I tried. I am too digital now to read a book.

    I even tried to read a book via digital, then my DADD kicked in.

    The last few books I've read I actually didn't read, but I listened to. Books on CD.

    in an effort to get ready for a trip to universal studios hopefully in the next few years. I have been listening to the harry potter books. I ran through 6 chapters of the second book while spending a couple of hours on the tractor cutting our property. I will probably try to finish it in the next couple of cuts and move on to the next.

    I haven't really been physically reading anything lately. I probably should. I enjoy it, but I haven't had time and if I read at night I just fall asleep.

    Been a while since I've read any Cussler I was very excited about, but I'm 2 of his Isaac Bell novels behind, and I've enjoyed the ones I've read. Lately, I've been reading quite a bit of G.M. Ford's Leo Waterman mysteries. Highly recommended! One thing I like about the Waterman series is that you can read them out of order with minimal confusion.

    I had a little time to kill between appointments the other day, so I actually hit the library and checked out a real, print book; Dan Simmons' The Abominable. Don't recall I ever met a Dan Simmons book I didn't like.

    I tried reading one of the Isaac Bell novels, and it didn't hold my attention.

    I'm surprised. Do you remember which one?

    I'm reading a ton of books. I read them on the laptop using either iBooks or Kindle. But my books are all boring, lame tech books. Here's what I got going...

    - "The Art of Social Media" by Guy Kawasaki
    - "OS X Yosemite" (comprehensive user manual)
    - "Big Data" (haven't read much from it yet but it's on the list)
    - "Things a Little Bird Told Me" - Biz Stone (finished that one)
    - "Work Rules!" - Laszlo Block
    - "How Google Works" - Eric Schmidt
    - "Becoming Steve Jobs" - Brent Schlender

    Making my way through a lot of the Tony Hillerman novels right now. Good easy summer reads.

    I read two Cussler books on our trip to Ontario last summer. I have not read any fiction since. I am slowly making my way through a book on Costa Rica right now. We would like to retire someday in either Central America or the Caribbean.
