One of the things that I lost in my blog melt-down was the handy-dandy book widget that was on the sidebar. I can add it back but haven’t taken the time to do that. Instead, I have gravitated over to using the visual bookshelf on Facebook.
Friend me to keep up with all of my readings.
One of the things that I want to do more of this year is post my thoughts on what I am reading, listening to, watching and studying. There are a couple of the books I have read over the last 6 weeks that make that list:
Creepers by David Morrell
This book won the Stoker Award a few years back and that my trick you into thinking that this is a horror novel. It isn’t. Instead it is a riveting thriller set in an abandoned hotel. Urban scavengers go into abandoned buildings and study the past. This particular hotel has quite an interesting story.
Out For Good: The Struggle to Build a Gay Rights Movement in America by Dudley Clendinen and Adam Nagourney
I was prompted to read this book after watching Milk. I fancy myself a student of Civil Rights and Social Justice struggles but had not read much regarding this particular movement. It is an exhaustive history of 1969-1989. I have many thoughts on the content of this work but will hold off until a later time.
I would highly recommend either of these works.
