What are you reading?

The original question was about books and I answered that. But what mags do you read regularly or subscribe to? For me, it''s "The Smithsonian" (articles are nearly the same as National Geographic, only much shorter, lol), and "The Atlantic."

Empire of the Summer Moon: Quanah Parker and the Rise and Fall of the Comanches, the Most Powerful Indian Tribe in American by Gwynne

If you ever traveled/lived in the Navajo Nations (Northern Arizona) then I would highly recommend Blood and Thunder.

I don't read unless it's for school or the Bible lol. Would rather play on Eccie and Facebook.

So, London, give me a hint of your taste: what version of the Bible? Protestant or Catholic versions? And which version of those do you pick up? Should be on the cover page.

I enjoy reading about Native Americans and their leaders, such as Quanah Parker. Based on your interest in the Navajo, I was going to recommend: Nasdijj’s Blood Runs Like A River Through My Dreams. Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company. 2000. pp. vi, 216. I read it ten years ago, but subsequently—I just now discovered, it has come to light that this book is a collection of plagiarized fiction. As such, it has no redeeming value; it is a “Navahoax.” Now, I feel as though I’ve been sucker-punched. http://www.time.com/time/magazine/ar...154221,00.html

I like all kinds of stuff..but particularly books about history,travel, food, and culture. I rarely read fiction. I saw that book at a local bookstore when I was browsing through the Native American section and thought it looked interesting.

There are many "bibles." For different religions. Many versions of the ones with which we are familiar, written for all kinds of different reasons.

And c'mon, Val, you can be "anti-religious" w/o calling it "crap." Or b/c you call it "crap" does that mean you're really religious underneath?
