I'm about one-third of the way into THE MAKING OF KING KONG
by Orville Goldner and George E. Turner. Originally
published in 1975. If you are a KONG enthusiast, and can
track down a copy, I cannot recommend this enough!
JB, I think you'd dig it.

I'm jumping back and forth between THE SHALLOWS by Matt Goldman and VIGIL by Arvin Loudermilk.

I picked up this book about a month ago as a primer for the upcoming movie about J. Robert Oppenheimer. I am only one-fifth of the way through and it is quickly turning into one of the best books I have read this year.

I usually do one book at a time, but am currently listening to both William Shatner's BOLDLY GO and Joe R. Lansdale's THE TWO-BEAR MAMBO via Audible, while also reading THE TEN-MINUTE INSERVICE by Todd Whitaker.

Last night I was bounding around online and again saw a reference to James L. Nelson's newest pirate fiction "The Buccaneer Coast." I saw it was only $3 on the Kindle so I went ahead and bought it, then started reading. I had a strange sensation that it all seemed familiar to me. I went into the living room and there on the living room table was a paperback of the book, which I'd already bought and started but forgotten about.
Ah well, back to it!

That sounds like something I would do.

In high school my favorite poem was “Richard Cory” by Edwin Arlington Robinson. Last week I had a D’OH! moment, realizing I’d not read anything else by him. So I bought a collection.

As a member of this forum you would of though we were all Star Trek fans but some of us overlooked the show when we were kids in the 80s. I am now watching and regretting heavily, I wasn't a fan earlier, thanks to this:

Although that book is flawed in many ways—something I didn’t know when I read it in the Sixties—I’m not sure how reading it could make someone NOT a fan.
