Read "Crazy Rich Asians", "China Rich Firlgriend" and "Rick People Problems" by Kevin Kwan. According to the interview I heard on NPR, the crazy story events are mostly based on actual events. The books are pretty much all about culture clash. ...

Just finished reading a book by Tom Hanks (the actor), called "Uncommon Types: Some Stories". I really enjoyed it a great deal. It is a collection of unrelated short stories, although some of them do reuse the names of characters, although ...

Any science fiction fans here? My all-time favorite book, of ANY catagory, is DUNE, by Frank Herbert, but lately I've been reading the Galaxy's Edge series, by Jason Anspach and Nick Cole. If you like military sci-fi, it's a very entertaining series.

Finally got around to reading "The Godfather". I still haven't seen the movies. However, the book was really good. I recommend it highly.

Just finished reading "Becoming" by Michelle Obama. It is a very good autobiography, talking about her childhood and life up until her husband left the white house. It's a nonfiction book that will likely interest even those who only read fiction.

Anyone here like Joseph Heller? You may be familiar with Catch-22, but have you read his other books, especially Something Happened? If anyone has read it, let me know. I would like to discuss it.

Right now I am reading Les Miserables, the Julie Rose translation. I have read the book years ago, and seen the musical, and the movie, but I guess I just wanted to revisit the book. I am loving it so far.

I'm about halfway through Zora Neale Hurston's Their Eyes Were Watching God. The story is good. The language and the writing are exquisite.
