Inheritance by Christopher Paolini

I'm deep into books about movies at this time.
I'm reading "Cabinet of Caligari-set design" now, focusing on early and unusual set designs from the 1910s to the 1960s (but mostly on 1910-1930).
Fascinating stuff, and useful, because I'm in my second year of a course on Theatre Directing...

At the same time I'm reading producer Michael Deely's "My life on cult movies", on Blade Runner, Deer Hunter, etc...
Man, that guy hated working with just about everyone....

Now I'm reading…

Stephen King's 11/22/63.

It's a good read so far.

I've always got an eclectic pile of assorted books that struck my fancy at yard sales & flea markets, and I'm an habitual haunt at library book sales. Just finished a biography of William Wallace, The Johnstown Flood by David McCullough, and I'm currently reading 'Thank You, Jeeves!' by P.G. Wodehouse.
Next up will be a return to my favorite mystery series, Nero Wolfe by Rex Stout, I have one or two in the series yet to read. Hoping for Christmas someone gets me "Double Dexter' & Walking Dead: Rise of the Governor", those are on my wish list.
And by the way, although I have KOBO reader for my droid phone, I absolutely must have the printed book in hand. I need that tactile feeling and sense of ownership. Collecting books on an electronic device will never take the place of a beautifully stocked bookcase.

Just finished Bukowski's What Matters Most is How Well You Walk Through the Fire and started to re-read Bradbury's The Martian Chronicles.

Sounds interesting, Caligari had amazing set designs.

Erik Larson's (Author of the true-crime, Chicago World's Fair serial killer book, Devil in the White City) "In the Garden of Beasts" ...
It's a proof copy I had lying about but just started getting into. Nonfic, deals with an American family (the father just stationed in Berlin as the American Ambassador) in Germany during the rise of Hitler's reign. It's interesting because you get a feel for how people of the day (both native Germans and foreign) experienced it without the hindsight. ...IE Before everyone knew what he was.
