What are Sly Bald Guys reading this summer? by Sly Red on 15 Jun, 2008 04:25

Just picked up David Sedaris's new book When You Are Engulfed in Flames. I buy his books in audio CD format. He's even funnier reading his own work.
Also bought The Joy of Living by Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche. Need to get some spiritual balance back into my life after being in a two month job search. And besides, the author is a seriously Sly dude

I'm not sure what I'll be reading this summer, I will probably find a book at a yardsale and read it. Some of the books I read over the winter were 'Kite Runner' and 'A thousand splendid suns' by Khaled Hosseini, I liked Kite Runner, I read it about 4 times, the movie sucked big time.
I also read 'Git-R-Done' by Larry the Cable Guy, it was pretty good.
Right now I am reading 'Whoa... yuh sonsabitches' by Edgar R Potter, I got it at a yard sale for .10 and I am almost done with it, it reminds me alot of my childhood in a way. -

I'm currently reading the Area 51 series by Robert Doherty, all about aliens, cover ups and government conspiracies if you're into that, but I'm also going to be reading these ones for work, not that I have to but I am always reading up and learning things for my job.

Andre,
and a noble vocation that is . . .
I'm amazed at how much time I spend reading this forum. There's just so much good stuff and great people. -

Hey Red, love David Sedaris. I read his book Naked a couple of years ago and I was in stitches.
Currently reading Dead in the Water by Stuart Woods. Love his Stone Barrington novels. -

My current read is "We wish to inform you that tomorrow we will be killed with our familys-Stories from Rwanda"-by Phillip Gurevitch.
Quite depressing and overwhelming at times but I feel it is necessary. -

Absolutely riveting I'm sure. I'm a software QA guy working with dot net geeks like yourself and I don't know one who ever reads fiction.
Well, at least you have great taste in sunglasses
Cheers,

I plan to read Sedaris' latest, too. It received great reviews. I liked all of the previous ones, Naked, Dress your Family in Corduroy, Me Talk Pretty One Day, etc. And when his stuff appears in Esquire's fiction essays or he's on NPR. Hilarious and wry
Other than that, I usually commit to 2-3 fiction works a summer. Also plan to re-read Into the Wild soon.

I'm not sure what I'll pick up as I'm currently focusing my time on other activities than reading. Though, as my travel picks up, I'm sure I'll grab something off of the bookshelf.

I also have read much of David Sedaris, Me Talk Pretty On Day, Holidays On Ice, Dress your family..., and Naked. I will have to pick the new on up. I really love his humor and I am also a fan of his sister Amy on Strangers With Candy.
Currently I have Scar Tissue - Anthony Kiedis on my night stand but I have not started it yet. I am a huge RHCP fan.
And IRDSM, Sidartha is a great book.
On audio book I am listening to Deepak Chopra - The Book Of Secrets: Unlocking the Hiden Dimensions in your Life
Really good inspirational stuff. -

Currently reading "If Democrats Had Any Brains, They'd Be Republicans" by Ann Coulter (hey, it's MY reading list).
After I finish that, the next book I have teed up is "The Code...The Unwritten Rules of Fighting & Retaliation in The NHL" by Ross Bernstein.
Oh, and like Bald Andre, I read the posts here on SBG.
