We drank a bit at university. Between the store that let you "build your own six pack" and a roommate that thought he might be a bartender I've tried most of the standard beers and mixes. I'm sure there were some in there worth having a second time, if only I could remember what they were... I'm usually driving back when I'm out so I usually order very little. Never? I guess I'll find out when someone makes the offer and I turn it down. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGP Posted December 21, 2021 Author Share Posted December 21, 2021 (edited) DEC 21 What book(s) are you currently reading? Edited December 21, 2021 by TGP There’s the question. It is another suggestion by Inarah. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loim Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Never tried a Manhattan. I usually order Dark Beer, Cider, or Bourbon. I'm sure there are a lot I will never try. Probably absinthe. I can say I will never again have an old fashioned. I'm reading a lot of books right now. Eye of the World - Robert Jordan (re-read) Leviathan Wakes - James SA Corey (re-read) Memories of Ice - Steven Erikson Ride the Rap - Elmore Leonard 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Dean Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 (edited) 14 minutes ago, TGP said: DEC 21 What book(s) are you currently reading? Well, I’m almost between books. I finished a reread of Rosemary Sutcliff’s The Lantern Bearers, which takes place in post-Roman Britain from ~450 to ~470CE yesterday. Given that, I picked up a new (to me) non-fiction book off my stack, Guy Halsall’s Barbarian Migrations and the Roman West 376-568. It’s pretty dense and academic, though, so finishing it is by no means a certainty. I am thinking that my January project might be to expand my miniatures collection for playing Dux Bellorum (Osprey, Dan Mersey), a game of post-Roman British warfare.

CashWiley Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 13 minutes ago, TGP said: DEC 21 What book(s) are you currently reading? I've got two up on deck for the holidays, as I just finished Iain Bank's Inversions (which was great). One is the next Banks book in the Culture series, the other is the new Modesitt. I've backed way off fiction, so it's nice to be in a bit of a groove there currently. For nonfic, the Munsell Student book and a Robert Griffing at book are tableside right now. I also just got in a book of Jeffrey Watts' female quicksketch. My newest crop of Repin Academy texts are stuck in the Netherlands for the last 2 months 😕 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I've been giving any attention to recently is the Stargrave rulebook. I've got a stack of sci-fi, historical fiction and other titles at hand, but haven't been able to sit and ignore the world for hours at a time lately. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cranky Dog Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 42 minutes ago, TGP said: DEC 21 What book(s) are you currently reading? I am not currently reading anything. My brain has a hell of a hard time taking time off to read during day time. And if I read before bed, either I'm too tired to focus or my brain gets overstimulated and I can't fall asleep. Quite annoying really as I used to read much more. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just finished A Stranger In Town by Kelly Armstrong. It's the most current book in the Rockton series; kind of a murder/mystery series.

Nothing at the moment, I only read in bed and it gets too cold during the winter. Although I am using a book to try and teach myself to crochet at the moment, if that counts. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
