What Are You Reading ? - Music Head - 15-04-2016
uncle salty Wrote:I just got the complete works of H.G. Wells on kindle. For FREE!!slippery little critters
I guess I will read some of the things I was supposed to read back in school, but instead listened to Alice Cooper, Zep, Skynyrd, Cheap Trick, Ted Nugent, KISS, Aerosmith, Foreigner, Boston, Van Halen, Queen etc,etc.
I listened to all these groups while chasing girls, so it wasn't like I wasn't getting anything accomplished.
hard to catch
if you caught one......mission accomplished

I recommend the following....
George Orwell's works are worth a read if you get the chance Salty...
I'm not referring to the obvious two we all know but "down and out in London and Paris" and "Spanish civil war" which are autobiographical in nature...
Also "the complete works of Oscar Wilde",
Contains all his stories, plays and poetry in one book....if you like that sort of thing

Picked this up after seeing the made for tv movie on syfy. Aliens arrive to save the human race. They look like we perceive the devil to look. They somehow eliminate wars, disease and poverty. They save us by taking all the kids away. Then the world disintegrates. So we didn't live happily ever after.
Grade - C
next - Wilson by A. Scott Berg

I often wonder whether the Floyd track Childhood's End came from this book. Read it many moons ago.
Looked it up - apparently the book gave birth to two tracks - Genesis & Floyd.
So we did live happily ever after, after all!

Excellent bio of the 28th president. He led us through WWI and gets credit or blame for the United Nations. I'm on the credit side.
I didn't know Woodrow had a stroke his last year in office. Seems like we had our first female president back in 1920.
I now have respect for this man.

next up - The Bridge Of San Luis Rey by Thornton Wilder

Thornton Wilder - The Bridge Of San Luis Rey - 1928

Pulitzer Prize winner. Set in Peru. Starts out with 5 people crossing this walking bridge over a canyon. The bridge breaks and they all fall to their death. It then goes back into the lives of these 5 people and how they came to be on this bridge to see if there was some sort of cosmic answer to the question of why each had to die. I couldn't see one. I guess shit just happens.
Grade - D
next up - Exceptional by Dick & Liz Cheney
