What book are you reading right now?

I listen to audio books.

Daily Bible listening.

It tells the story of Valentine Michael Smith, a human who comes to Earth in early adulthood after being born on the planet Marsand raised by Martians, and explores his interaction with an eventual transformation of Terran culture.

  1. Stranger in a Strange Land is recognized as a sci-fi classic (also a great Leon Russell song) and I generally love Heinlein, but man, I could not make it through this one. I’m searching my bookshelf right now and I don’t even know what I did with it! Some classics just don’t take with me. I hope you have better luck with it! I’m enjoying New Earth, but sad that Chico stayed behind.☹️

    1. Thank you. 💕 I thought for the story it would be best if he stayed on the ground. So far, I’m really enjoying SiaSL. I’ll look that song up. Thanks. That’s understandable. It’s easy to get lost in some of the classics.

  2. I’m reading Mark Helprin’s Winter’s Tale right now, but in the past few months I’ve decided I want to spend more time reading blogged work. So far I’ve been blown away by what I’ve found. If you know of any other authors sharing their creativity on this site, I would love to know about them.

    1. Your work. I’ve been reading the other person that you did a review of. His work is very detailed and enjoyable to read. And I’ve been reading a lot of poetry. Trying new things: stream of consciousness and blackout poetry. There is a lot of great talent here.

  3. Leaders take us far away from ecology
    With mythology and astrology
    Got some words to say
    About the way we live today
    Why can’t we learn to love each other
    It’s time to turn a new face
    To the whole world wide human race
    Stop the money chase
    Lay back, relax
    Get back on the human track
    Stop racing towards oblivion
    Oh, such a sad, sad state we’re in
    And that’s a thing

    -Stranger in a Strange Land, Leon Russell
