I'm currently reading The Road to Woodstock by Michael Lang.

you mean THE Woodstock? sounds like a book ill need to read as well...



last evening Rachel informed me that i have read 21 books this year....im so proud! if i can FINISH Out of Africa she says she will add it to the list (she is tough!)



Rachel, on the other hand, has read 63 books this year....WOW!!

she kept track of the pages, but she didnt say how many. ill have to get that info

^ Congrats to you and Rachel for reading so many books this year!

Yes, the book is about the Woodstock festival from the guy who created it. It's a very good read. I'm really, really enjoying it. Right now I'm at the point where Abbie Hoffman is about to join the Who on stage.

I finished the Woodstock book. It was excellent. Now I'm on to The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan.

Wow! I'll have to try and count how many book I've read this year. it wont be near 63 tho!!

Right now, the Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. It's really good.

Out Of Africa is a bit dry.....the first 34 pages so far have been about the natives on the plantation.

it is more of a diary than a novel, so i do admit to being a little disappointed

For Christmas I got:
What would Keith Richards Do?
Torchwood: the House that Jack Built

And after Christmas I bought:

The British Invasion: the Music, the Times, the Era
Twenty thousand Roads: the Ballad of Gram Parsons and his Cosmic American Music

So many good books, I don't know where to begin!

I finally finished the Lightning Thief which was a fun read.

Today, I got two new books that arrived from amazon:

Riot on the Sunset Strip, rock 'n' roll's last stand in Hollywood by Domenic Priore.

Canyon of Dreams, the Magic and the Music of Laurel Canyon by Harvey Kubernik.

I'm so excited! I can't wait to start reading them!

^ that does sound like a book I'd love!

And to get it at a bargain is awesome too! Wow!

hi Tina

i think i saw this book The British Invasion on the after-Christmas sale table at B&N. is it by a Barry Miles (i think that was the name)...it looks really good. i scanned thru it, and i may have to get it myself!

right now im saving up for a dvd called "Stuff That's Gone", made about some of the things we love here in Pgh that arent there anymore

forgot to say that i have finished my first book of the year on Friday, Letters from Pemberley, and started reading The War of The Worlds

Yes! That's it exactly!

I haven't had a chance to read it yet, but I've skimmed thru it and it looks great. The pictures alone make the book worth it. I plan on starting it as soon as I'm done with Riot on Sunset Strip.

^ Me too! We must definitely meet up.

I finished Riot on Sunset Strip. So now onto British Invasion.

By the way, Sue and I have taken a cue from you and Rachel and we're keeping track of all the books we read this year. It should be fun!

Ok, I finished the British Invasion book. It was a fun, quick read. Now on to Canyon of Dreams by Harvey Kubernik.

OK, thanks to this read I counted up and figure I read about 30 books last year.

I'm currently reading Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. I am totally loving it! Just like regular P&P except for the zombies who pop up to terrorize them. I also love the fighting matches that go on. Very funny and a surprising stress buster from work. I feel overworked and stressed out and then reading about Lizzie kickboxing some zombies makes me feel better. Highly recommended.

I finished Canyon of Dreams. That was a great read! Probably why I finished it so fast. And now I'll conclude my trip to the 60s with Turn! Turn! Turn! the 60s folk-rock revolution by Richie Unterberger. I've been trying to spend at least an hour each day reading.

1st book of the year finished!

Am now reading Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters. I've never read the original but I have seen a couple of the TV versions so I'm somewhat familiar with the story.

I finished Turn! Turn! Turn! Now I'm taking a brief reading break. I've got so many more books to get to tho!

Now I'm on to Go Where You Wanna Go: The Oral History of the Mamas & the Papas by Matthew Greenwald.
