What Books Are You Reading?

Right now I'm reading the autobiography Witness by Whittaker Chambers. Or at least trying to. His style is rather brisk on details, so when he's talking about his family it zooms by. But when he's going on about his former Soviet contacts as a Communist agent, all of those long Russian names, one after another just make my head hurt. The book is 800 pages and very small type, which doesn't help with the twelve+ letter Russian names incidentally.

I might grab some old pulp fiction from the 30s after I finish Witness. There's a lot of Robert E. Howard's work that I haven't read yet. Solomon Kane always sounded fun.

Grimlock,

It's been years since I read it, but it's a wonderful book. I do remember, too, though, it being hard to read.

BTW, another excellent book on the subject is Perjury: The Hiss-Chambers Case by Allen Weinstein.

Always a joy to read about what OTHERS are reading. Since this has long-passed the 20-page limit, I am "shutting it down" AND "starting a new" for the Fall 2005.
