The Hero with a Thousand Faces is a seminal work of comparative mythology by Joseph Campbell. In this book, Campbell discusses his theory of the journey of the archetypal hero found in world mythologies.
Just started the Culture series by Iain M. Banks. Its a fairly extensive (10 books) Sci-Fi series and so far I've read one book, The Player of Games. Trying to decide which, if any, books in the series I'll read next. The setting seems very interesting but I read it immediately after reading Dune for the first time, which is an extremely difficult novel to follow up.
'Troublemaker' by Leah Remini. I'm not a big reader...and I don't care for fiction. So far, it's pretty revealing. She plays the wife on King Of Queens, and tells of her break away from Scientology.
My buddy sent me a bunch of books he thought I'd like for my birthday. Not a huge Stephen fan but we'll see.

I'm on book 4 of the Game of Thrones. I think it's called Feast of Crows, but since I read on a kindle I only see the cover/title once.
Picked up this classic Hemingway in Amsterdam for cheap cheap. The Old Man and the Sea is a short novel written by the American author Ernest Hemingway in 1951 in Bimini, Bahamas, and published in 1952. It was the last major work of fiction by Hemingway that was published during his lifetime. One of his most famous works, it tells the story of Santiago, an ageing Cuban fisherman who struggles with a giant marlin far out in the Gulf Stream off the coast of Florida. In 1953, The Old Man and the Sea was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, and it was cited by the Nobel Committee as contributing to their awarding of the Nobel Prize in Literature to Hemingway in 1954.
I read A Million Little Pieces and loved it. How's that book? Should I read that one as well? Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
