Ah cool thread, never seen it before. So, I'm the organizer of the Michigan Beer and Book Club. We talk about books written in or about Michigan at a pub that serves Michigan craft beer. So I should be able to contribute something regularly. I usually read two book a month (one for my book club, and one for general reading enjoyment).
Just finished reading:
1) "The Life You've Imagined" (for book club) ... total chick lit, but it wasn't too bad
2) "
The Unseen Forest: A Year's Watch in Nature" - which I highly recommend for anyone who likes nature/biology books, especially teenagers. Probably the best non-biographical non-fiction I've ever read.
Started reading:
1) "A 1,000-Mile Walk on the Beach: One Woman's Trek of the Perimeter of Lake Michigan" (for book club)
2) "The City & The City" (part murder mystery, part political thriller, part science fiction)
Looks like I'm going to knock the dust of one of my favorites... Into Thin Air. The new movie, Everest, coming out in Sept is based on the book and the tragic accident that took place in '96. If you haven't read the book, I suggest you do.
If you also listen to audiobooks ... the author himself read this account. And I recommend it. I listened to it on the way to and from work, and I was sitting in the parking lot listening to it during my lunchbreak. Good stuff.
