ah I was just about to read Steve Jobs book after I brew up my espresso. how was it?

***Alex*** · 11-05-2011, 12:24 PM

It's a pretty good read. He was basically a perfectionist who had all these cool ideas for Apple products. Funny how he'd curse a lot, like when he didn't like a product and he'd yell "this is shit!" I kinda felt bad for his employees who had to put up with him. But, then again, if it wasn't for Steve Jobs, Apple wouldn't be the way it is today.

After reading his biography book, I got to appreciate his products more. I'm kind of glad I switched to the Mac Pro and iPhone. Look forward to getting an iPad and laptop next.

I am currently reading A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness, in print form from the library and The Vigilante's Bride by Yvonne Harris on my Nook for PC.

The second one sounds really cool! How do you like it so far?

I'm reading Cold Mountain by Charles Frazier, and I use Nook for PC too. It's really convenient because there are lots of terms I need to look up, especially names of places, kinds of plants and trees, stuff like that. Good read, though.

**Bottesini** · 11-07-2011, 07:26 PM

Catching Fire, the second book in the series, Hunger Games. This is an interesting survival story in a future world.

**mbrek** · 11-07-2011, 07:37 PM

The Jungle by Upton Sinclair, 1906. Makes me appreciate how easy my life is.

**DeafBadger** · 11-08-2011, 03:05 PM

"Million Dollar Habits", Robert J. Ringer

It's really a philosophical book about life more than anything...

I re-read that this summer. Great book!

^^^I think many high schools should have this on their list, if they don't already. It would be a much needed eye-opener for many.

I agree. And 1984 as well.

AJWSmith · 11-10-2011, 04:45 AM

Finished reading 'An Instance of the Fingerpost' this morning by Iain Pears. I found it fascinating. Totally unlike any other novel I've read before.

StevieMont927 · 11-13-2011, 02:39 AM

I'm reading the Harry Dresden files, I'm on book four. Also, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, and a manga, Rasetsu volume 5.....

rolling7 · 11-14-2011, 09:49 PM

"Killing Lincoln"---Bill O'Reilly

**Bottesini** · 11-14-2011, 10:09 PM

James Patterson's Run for Your Life, and then will read his Judge & Jury. Both library ebook loans.

kokonut · 11-14-2011, 10:20 PM

On Chapter 3, now. Enjoying it.

**mbrek** · 11-15-2011, 11:45 PM

^^^That is, except for the socialism diatribe at the end! I'm back to murder mysteries again...

I will miss my audiobooks if my hearing goes! I'll have to see if I remember how to hold a book.

**mbrek** · 11-15-2011, 11:47 PM

Oops, Naisho noticed I was nearing post 666!!! Must quickly repost to get past EVIL number, LOL!

myfairmatey · 11-16-2011, 10:23 PM

my mom is a huge james patterson fan and I think I am following in her footsteps. I was able to snag some of his books from her bookshelf. I am not reading them in order, though I am currently reading Double Cross. It is great so far. I love mystery!!!

**KristinaB** · 11-17-2011, 01:19 PM

I'm currently on a reading roll and finishing 2 a day. Too numerous to list. Just know that there are mysteries, romances and fantasy. Most of the romances are historical. I checked out 45 books from the library for this week. That was yesterday and I have already completed 6 of them. Yes, they are all decent sized and from the adult section and average 300-400 pages a piece.

SJCSue · 11-23-2011, 09:43 AM

I am reading "Wuthering Heights" by Emily Bronte on my nook.

**sallylou** · 11-23-2011, 03:51 PM

I'm going to put that on my list. I liked Jayne Erye. Different Bronte but a good read.

A Bronte cartoon:

Favorite Bronte work ever!

Currently reading famous japanese swordsman the warring states period. But also reading complete grimms fairy tales. It stays close.

SilentRider · 11-23-2011, 06:18 PM

Just finished "the confession " it was OK.

**shel90** · 11-23-2011, 08:57 PM

I am reading and disgusted by this FB status from one of my "friends" who thinks she is so hawt...

Not to sound rude, but why do some people I know let themselves go? People need to start eating healthy and stay active. I've seen some old friends who look beyond recongition. Get fit y'all and let's make some waves and feel good! Get up on the dance floor! Make it a goal to get into healthy lifestyle!

What do you think of this? I think it is egostical of her to say that.

That's just downright pathetic!!

**sallylou** · 11-23-2011, 09:05 PM

Fat hatin. Just a tool to make insecure people to make themselves feel better.

**shel90** · 11-23-2011, 09:21 PM

She posts these ridiculous statuses but I wont unfriend her because I enjoy the drama that unfolds from other people's comments. It is interesting to see how some people suck up to her and how others tell her to take a hike.
