Nope. I liked it, although it wasn't one of my favorites. It does meander- life meanders too doesn't it? - but I think the main reason I never finished it was because I dowloaded it on my phone. I'll never read a book that way again, I don't even think I'd enjoy a kindle.

I'm with you on the e-format...I much prefer paper. Life does meander...but I just didn't connect with anyone in that book...

Are you an Irving fan in general?

I liked Cider House and Owen Meaney

Probably his two best, with a nod to Garp. Have you read In One Person? Just brought it up in another thread. How about Until I Find You? Lame ending but great story.

Several books open right now.  Napoleon biography.  Another is a history of Baghdad from it's 8th Century founding through the conclusion of the US war.  Recently finished The Rush, a history of the California gold rush from 1848-1852.

I like history.

It be interested to hear what you think. I loved his first book, got bored reading his second book and never really kept up with him after that.

I liked "The Circle" but it was a bit long. If you don't trust Google/Microsoft you might get a kick out of it. I've read most of Dave Eggers' books. Zeitoun and "What is the What" are probably my favorites.

I'm halfway through "The Wolf of the Plains" now. It's pretty good.

Anyone eagerly waiting The Winds of Winter? Here's a leaked 3 page outline GRRM had for ASOIAF way back in 93. Spoilers warning of course.

Game of ****ing Thrones.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

I quit eagerly waiting a long time ago. ;-) So at least now we have time frame of when it is released.  I started watching the series first then started reading the books.  Now I have a tough time keeping the story lines and characters straight.

Back on topic, I am currently reading Inferno -- The World at War 1939-1945 - Max Hastings.

I have to say I'm not overly enthused about the Winds Of Winter. I think if GRRM wants the book to be written quicker, QUIT WRITING SO MUCH ABOUT THE DAMNED FOOD! I really struggled to finish the last book in the series.

1Q84 - Haruki Murakami

This was a little of a slog towards the end. I enjoyed Kafka and Bird Chronicles. I think his style of storytelling started to wear on me. Summer beach reading - The Ghostwriter, Fatherland. Enjoy Harris' thrillers.

      Yea Club Rat said it. I really enjoyed the Senator and the Judge, then over to Grand National where there a couple good courses plus a fun par 3. The one I do play whenever I visit there is Ross Bridge; something about this course that is just good fun. I hope to play more of the courses in the future, but tomorrow is promised to no one, so hope is the key word. Have Fun, iSank

      Eh. He broke ONE of Tiger's records. Youngest to be ranked #1 in AJGA. It didn't help that Tiger's birthday is in late December, or that Tiger didn't play many AJGA events before he was 15. Did he do any of these things? TIGER WOODS' AMATEUR VICTORIES YEAR WIN(S) 1984 10-and- under Junior World Golf Championships Boys    1985 10-and- under Junior World Golf Championships Boys    1988 Boy's 11-12 Junior World Golf Championships   1989 Boy's 13-14 Junior World Golf Championships   1990 Boy's 13-14 Junior World Golf Championships, Insurance Youth Golf Classic   1991 U.S. Junior Amateur, Boys 15–17 Junior World Golf Championships, Orange Bowl International Junior Look at some other AJGA Players of the Year. How many of these names do you recognize? A few, for sure. I assure y'all, I'm not trying to pee in your Cheerios. I just don't get what the point is. Okay. I get that, then. Thanks.

      Day 56: 4/19/2024 Okay, even though I'll be teeing it up in a tournament in less than a week. I couldn't find time to get to the range today.  I spent time on the indoor putting mat.  And I spent time in front of the mirror with my 7 iron. Then again later with the driver.  I also thoroughly cleaned all my clubs.
