Study Room Guidelines
Ok it isn't so quiet in here but our resident librarian will ensure that there is good discussion on literature, prose, poetry, etc. You may also post sermons, notes, and the like as long as it is not copyrighted material and within reason of the post length regulation.
We encourage you to take a lose look at the threads and offer honest and useful input. This forum is a place where we discuss literature of any media, as well as personal creations by some of our own wordsmiths. Debate is encouraged, but we often find ourselves relaxing here.

Originally posted by One Bad Pig View PostI don't, but I'm fairly certain I average more than that.
I'm currently reading The Vampire Armand by Anne Rice and Mortal Coils by Eric Nylund. I've been slowly working my way through the Vampire Chronicles. The first one was downright boring, but the rest have been pretty decent. I'm not sure yet how I feel about Mortal Coils, but I'm only 1/4 of the way through it.I'm not here anymore.

Stalking the Red Bear: The True Story of a U.S. Cold War Submarine's Covert Operations Against the Soviet Union by Peter Sagsen - a bit sensational.
Rig Ship for Ultra Quiet by Andrew Karam - probably the most true to life of the nuke sub stories I've read, though I feel little sympathy for someone who didn't need to stand a regular watch.

I finally decided to see what all the fuss was about and have started reading David Foster Wallace's "Infinite Jest."Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed. Take up the cause of the fatherless; plead the case of the widow.--Isaiah 1:17
I don't think that all forms o[f] slavery are inherently immoral.--seer

Anyway, I've recently read Antarctica by Kim Stanley Robinson, am currently reading Xenocide by Orson Scott Card, and plan to restart The Year Without Summer: 1816 by William and Nicholas Klingman soon. I read part of that book in 2015, and will pick up around where I left off.
I'm also reading the interesting chapters of The Why's of a Philosophical Scrivener by Martin Gardener.Find my speling strange? I'm trying this out: Simplified Speling. Feel free to join me.

I've finished reading Miracles by Craig Keener, very good. I then read The Burial of Jesus by James F. McGrath, which, whilst providing sound reasons for accepting the historicity of the minimal facts, was full of whacky, off-the-wall comments.
