Re: What books are you reading now?

Slowly, yes. Still tired and weak, but getting a little less so every day, thank goodness. My appetite is still off, that's not unexpected, but really annoying to a foodie ... all the time I was in hospital I kept thinking of the good things I wanted to cook when I got home ... and now don't want them! LOL, life is not fair. But the good thing is, they got all the cancer and it had not metastesized! So I can live with the discomfort .etc .......

Re: What books are you reading now?

I'm sure you're appetite will eventually return? I know this sounds weird but apparently cannabis helps with the pain and appetite. Some doctors prescribe it to cancer patients.
I'm so sorry about your pain ... hope and pray that you will get better soon.

I'm reading Powerless: The Synthesis by Jason Letts. It's a science fiction novel that I've gotten involved in quite heavily. I'm about 3/4 of the way through it already.

Re: What books are you reading now?

I've just finished "Night Over Water" by Ken Follet, which was an excellent read. Now I've started "To The Hilt" by Dick Francis, who I find eminently readable....

Re: What books are you reading now?

You know, I used to be an avid reader in my late teens but gave it up until I bought bt Kindle from Amazon.com. Since then I've rediscovered reading with a passion. I've finish 4 books and have over 26 now in my library.

The Kindle is so portable, light and easy on the eyes that I can take it everywhere, and do. One more gadget to carry. I need more pockets. LOL

Project Cyclops - Thomas Hoover. A technothriller on my Kindle, page-turning read except when it gets a bit technical ... just skim over those parts to get to what the latest the terrorists or the good guys are doing.

Bob, I suspect you might like this one ... look at a review

Re: What books are you reading now?

At the moment I am re-reading The Seventh Scroll (Wilbiur Smith). I tend to skim first reads and then go back to read slower in detail. There is a copy of Wilbur Smith's latest book - Those in Peril, which is about modern day pirates off the Somalian coast (not sure about this one).

Re: What books are you reading now?

I just finished reading the first of three science fiction books in a series by Jason Letts called "Powerless: The Synthesis. It tells a story of a world where everyone is born with a power of one kind or another. The exception is the lead character who had her power stolen at birth. She struggles to live in a world where she is the odd ball competing with her friends as well as her enemies.

I enjoyed the book a great deal and subsequently ordered the second book "Powerless: The Shadowing". It picks up exactly where the first ended.
