Whatcha Reading Right Now?

[Hewitt2]

So we all know drummers form the erudite and well-read component of the rhythm section, right?

So let’s put our bookmarks where our mouths are and share what we’re reading right now!

I’ll go first. I re-read this chestnut every few years. In my mind, the foremost retelling of the Arthurian legend. Like all great art, every time I return to it I uncover a new layer.

 

[Al Strange]

I’m reading Dave Grohl’s “The Storyteller” at the minute…

 

[Larry]

I'm reading the 70's underground comic books, "The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers" from Rip Off press, by Gilbert Shelton.

Also the "Tao Te Ching" by Lao Tzu

 

[Bozozoid]

I've almost finished reading Green lights by Matthew McConaughey.

 

[Square]

On my nightstand right now... Brave New World, Aldous Huxley.

 

[Sonar Dave]

Any Good?

Any Good?

Man that guy has been through some weird shit in his life as well as a not so healthy upbringing. I wasn't really a huge fan but I have a different outlook now. What a cool guy.

 

[Neal Pert]

A Swim in the Pond in the Rain by George Saunders. Absolutely remarkable book.

 

[Jeremy Bender]

Three I'm currently working through:

• 1941 The Year Germany Lost The War- Andrew Nagorski
• Memoirs Vol.1 The Years of Decisions- Harry Truman
• Effective Practicing for Musicians- Benny Greb

 

[moodman]

I'm reading a book written by an old bandmate named Robbie Bowden, called Been Around. One chapter mentions a band we had called Moody, Klug and Bowden.

 

[ToneT]

Keith Richards "Life"

 

[Lefty Phillips]

I'm drowning in user manuals and PDF tutorials these days. The last book I read was a draft of my wife's latest book, "Ghost of Lost Lake".

 

[Out of Round]

At this point, the pandemic's got me mxing it up strangely. Here's one of the greatest reference books ever (complete with Pasta Glossary). There's also 62 pages of poorly-written rules along with all the charts and tables needed to play a really complicated solitaire wargame that I really like because I'm a total geek. Help me!

 

[Juniper]

I’m re-reading a few of Stephen Kings books (I’m huge fan of his writing)

Recently finished The Stand and have since started Misery. About a quarter way into that one.

Found an issue recently where I discovered that I’d read nearly every major novel by him* (60+ books) with only a handful more to read, so I’ve started to re-read some I last read back in the 1990’s

*just got to complete the Dark Tower series and then I’ve read them all.

 

[Hewitt2]

Dark Tower is definitely where it’s at for Stephen King. That and the Stand were my favourite novels of his.

Fantastic. Looking forward to finishing the series.

It’s such a large body of work I plan to do them in order (I read book 1 of the Dark Tower last year and decided to wait until I had them all before continuing)

 

[The Shepherd]

Robert Jordan - The Dragon Reborn (Third book in the Wheel of Time series)

 

[Stroman]

I'm reading one the Mrs got me for Christmas - "Astrophysics for People in a Hurry," by Neil DeGrasse Tyson. Really good so far!

I know it’s one of his earliest books but I’m a massive’Salem’s Lot fan, the way he brought vampires into modern day normality like that was pure genius…

Cell was my favorite. It was intense from page 1. Good movie also.
