Another one I enjoy is John Sandford, with his Lucas Davenport character, and another of Virgil Flowers.Ralphd00dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05539573384487866740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11628754.post-35457008487293343932011-10-09T10:08:51.611-04:002011-10-09T10:08:51.611-04:00I read at lunch time.

I often break up a tough non-fiction book by reading some fiction in between. It is not unusual for me to have three or more books going at once, but in different genres.<br /><br />I balance those hard to pick up and easy to put down tomes with light forgettable stuff.<br /><br />When you spend a night or two sitting in a hotel room every week, it is easy to read a lot. I learned a long time ago spending every night at the bar when traveling was a bad idea. Often there is nothing on TV I want to watch, so I read. Too many times(especially in my youth) I would choose reading over sleeping. I pay for it these days.<br /><br />I still only get about six hours of sleep a night, though.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17269114655802698386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11628754.post-71133059855084412982011-10-09T09:39:17.636-04:002011-10-09T09:39:17.636-04:00Yep, I just put down "a Different Drummer&quo...Yep, I just put down "a Different Drummer" to read blogs.<br />I did just finish: "The War that Killed Achilles".<br />A great explanation of the Illiad.

Yesterday, I picked up the same Civil War tome I've been reading for a couple of years and read the one chapter I've been trying to plow through for months. It's a good book -- very well written -- but something always beckons me away...a text, email, sleep...I wish I could focus better. A pair of blinders would do me a world of good. Not to mention an electrical zap every time I get distracted. I'd get more accomplished that way.Ericahttp://ericasphotoblog.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
