In fiction right now I'm reading The Mysterious Benedict Society, which I'd highly recommend for older kids or for anybody that enjoyed the Harry Potter books.

Alexander Hamilton, by Ron Chernow."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."
"It's no secret that the great American pastime is no longer baseball. Now it's sanctimony." -- Guy Periwinkle, The Nix.

Every time I hear of that book, I can't help remembering that old lame joke by Rodney Dangerfield: I got a sweater for christmas. I wanted a moaner or a screamer, but I got a sweater...Originally posted by YOhio View Post
Just finished Min Jin Lee's Free Food for Millionaires. Adored it. Fabulous, although I can't say for sure that it is not a chick book.Comment

Not fiction but it is an excellent book.Originally posted by Babs View PostPLesa excuse the tpyos.Comment

But this isn't a thread about excellent books, now, is it? It's clearly a thread asking "what fiction are you currently reading?" So if Mr. Lebowski is citing biography here, then he eitherOriginally posted by creekster View Post
1) can't read the thread's title (which begs the question what he's doing with a book about Hamilton)
or
2) can't classify his books properly (and I'm pretty sure that even the new guy who can't tell his polygons apart can discern fiction from non-fiction).
Either one is inexcusable. Maybe he was homeschooled.Comment

Next you're going to tell me he doesn't even put call numbers on his books.Comment

Listen here, kiddo. I sat there and let your OU-football-players-are-so-stupid-they-can't-score-their-age-on-exams comments go by with nary a response. And then I make one brain fart and you pile it on.Originally posted by Babs View Post

OK, back to fiction:
Anybody here read Water for Elephants? I picked up a copy last fall and enjoyed it quite a bit. I didn't know until after I read the book that the storyline was loosely connected to the biblical story of Jacob. Still not sure that I saw all of the connections."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

I've seen this book several times in the bookstores, but nowhere on the back or inside doesn't it give a brief statement what the book is about.......so my question is what in the hell is the book about?Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View PostComment

It has the word 'elephant' in the title, the symbol of the GOP. Shouldn't that be enough?Originally posted by RockyBalboa View PostComment
