Trevor Noah's Born a Crime. Do yourself a favor and listen to the audiobook. He narrates. (Editing to say that I just noticed that this thread is from 2010.)

i just listened to that audiobook. very impressive. smile

'They Call Me Baba Booey' by Gary Dell'abate. He reads the audio book himself, too.

Dolly Parton's book is pretty amazing.

I just finished Bruce Springsteen's autobiography, Born to Run on audio book. It's very beautifully written. He narrates the audio book and does a wonderful job. If you are old enough to appreciate him, I highly recommend it!

My mother was an avid reader. Soon after I graduated from college, she suggested I read the book, War and Remembrance. It was historical fiction that began at Pearl Harbor the day after the attack. It opens with protagonist, Admiral Pug Henry, assessin...

I agree, Herman Wouk is a great author. I haven't read War and Remembrance but I did read Winds of War back in '87. I don't remember the plot but I must have liked the book and the author because I've read 10 of his books, 4 in one year. He also wro...

Is anyone else doing a reading challenge this year? I've decided to try one that is 52 books in 52 weeks--simple enough for me-- but has 52 different categories, which is what will be the challenge! I feel I am stuck in a cozy mystery rut and want to...

I love reading challenges and I try to do one every year. I think I want to read 75 books and 55 picture books this year :)

I’m doing the Ultimate Popsugar Challenge as well as a Goodreads challenge. Last year I managed 55 or 56 books across many genres. This year, I’m shooting for 65 books. But, full disclosure, I work in an indie bookstore, so the pressure is great. P...

Ps If anyone has a favorite book to recommend, I’d love to hear about it. If you like mysteries, ANY book by Ruth Rendell is aways great. Mary Roach writes these amazing, fascinating non-fiction books about different subjects that you think you'd nev...

A Gentleman in Moscow is my favorite this year.

The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind by William Kamkwamba

No reading challenge here. I just want to read one book at a time. I usually have 4 or 5 books going at the same time. No goals on number of books either. Just however many I can squeeze between now and December 31st, 2019. I try not to have a book unf...

No reading challenge here Me neither. I just read. lol

I'm working on the Popsugar Reading Challenge for 2019. I did it last year and really enjoyed it. I'm still finishing it up. ;) I have about 4 books left for the last challenge before I start this one so I want to get it done. I read more than 50 books...

I'd like to get my hands on a copy of that graveyard book of yours. When are you going to publish it?

One of the categories in my challenge is "a self-published book". I know there are several LB authors...anybody self published?

I don't know anything about self-publishing, but I have a short story in an anthology published with Untreed Reads and they've been wonderful to work with, very professional and available. It's worth checking out their submission policy.

I have a number of self-published books. The Amazon link is in my profile.

I know there are several LB authors... Oooh! Ooh! I wrote a book!! Try: https://www.amazon.com/Blog-Post-Mortem-Mark-Berkeland-ebook/dp/B01IJE2X08

I will definitely try at least one--they all look so interesting!

This looks good too! Adding it to my list

I have wanted to read Marjorie Morningstar by him for years. It is always on my TBR list, but I just have not gotten to it yet. Maybe this will be the year. -amanda from seattle

Every summer our Seattle Library has a reading bingo card challenge and you are to read the books and get a Bingo. Of course, being a BIG reader, I usually do the Black out of the card and read everything. Sometimes the different categories are challen...

Doing the PopSugar challenge again—plus personal goal of 95 books for the year (including audiobooks).
