Re: Whatcha readin', Wisconsin?

I just finished reading "The Shape Shifter" by Tony Hillerman.
The story held my attention, and opened doors of possibilities.
I enjoy a story that helps a person develop insight into the possibilities that lead to a conclusion.

"The Shape Shifter" is a crime mystery novel that takes place in the New Mexico/Arizona desert.

Re: Whatcha readin', Wisconsin?

I'm reading "Genetic Screening in Dogs" by Matthew Binns, BSc (Hons), PhD

Dr. Binns is Professor of Genetics at the Royal Veterinary College, London. He took this position in Autumn, 2004, after 14 years working at the Animal Health Trust (AHT). His research focuses on genetic diseases in horses and dogs, with the aim of improving their health and welfare through the development of DNA-based screening tests. Dr. Binns has chaired the horse and dog gene mapping committees for the International Society for Animal Genetics and published more than 150 scientific papers

Quote:
Key Points are
~ The recent sequencing of the dog genome has accelerated the rate at which the mutations underlying genetic diseases in the dog are being identified
~ Increasing numbers of genetic screening tests are commercially available which can be used to selectively breed healthier dogs through the reduction and elimination of deleterious mutations
~ Genetic tools are now available that can be used to identify breed specific “fingerprints” for the majority of pure dog breeds. These same tools can be used to determine the breed composition of non-pure breed individuals, presenting opportunities to genetically characterize an enormous range of morphological, behavioral and disease traits
~ The scientific progress made in characterizing dog diseases at the molecular level has increased interest in their use as biomedical models for equivalent human conditions, and it is anticipated that future results from mapping genetic diseases in dogs will have both veterinary and human clinical importance

Re: Whatcha readin', Wisconsin?

Finished "Autism Spectrum Disorders:The Complete Guide to Understanding Autism, Asperger's Syndrome, Pervasive Developmental Disorder, and Other ASDs" by Chantal Sicile-Kira a short while back. Very good starter book to getting to understand Autism. Has lots of resources to go to next to understand more. Lists different disorders on the Autism Spectrum as well as different methods to teach children with Autism. Would like to have learned more about each of the methods - wasn't really sure how we were going to approach Morgan's Autism and was hoping for more specific answers.
But we got some answers when Morgan went into the doctors for her medical diagnosis - so we're all good on that now.

Just started "Engaging Autism: Using the Floortime Approach to Help Children Relate, Communicate, and Think" by Stanley I. Greenspan, M.D. and Serena Wieder, PH.D. We were given this book by Marshfield Clinic at Morgan's appointment. They also gave us a binder with a page in it that summarizes each approach to Autism along with how it works, what goals it sets, and pros and cons of that method. Even if they didn't give us this book it would definately would be the method we would use with Morgan. It fits her well.
I'm also starting "More Than Words: Helping Parents Promote Communication and Social Skills in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder" by Fern Sussman. This is way less technical - almost like a workbook filled with scenarios and activities to help you with your child.

And at this moment, I'm looking for a "recreational read" LOL Need something light and fast moving to unjumble my head after a lot of technical reading.

I LOVE the Harry Potter books. I held off reading them for a long time - I think until all but the last book was out - because I thought it was a children's book only. Boy, was I wrong! I couldn't tear myself away from any of them. And when I finished one of them, I hungered for the next. I read each book at the same time as my 10 year old daughter - I read a bit faster (which was pure torture because she was checking them out at school and I'd have to wait until she got done with one to get another). What an amazing author that can write a series that spans the generations of readers!

When I want a super quick read, I turn to Reader's Digest Condensed books. I pick them up at Goodwill or at rummage sales all the time. Got two huge boxes of them at a rummage sale a few years ago - jackpot!! What I like about these books is that I take a stab at each story - and I find my taste for books expanding.

Re: Whatcha readin', Wisconsin?

Well for me I read the Bible every day. You should try that.
Other wise I am reading 23 Minutes in hell by Bill Wiese. Amazing book. Once you pick it up you can't put it down. Bill saw the searing flames of hell, felt total isolation and experienced the putrid and rotting stench, deafening screams of agony, terrorizing demons, and finally, the strong hand of God lifting him out of the pit. A MUST READ

Re: Whatcha readin', Wisconsin?

I just finished reading Murder at Whalehead by Joe C. Ellis. This is a great mystery that I found very hard to put down.
I found the book on Lulu.com - Self Publishing - Free This is a site that allows authors to have their books printed for a very low cost. I did a calendar of our foster and adopted dogs for $11.

Question Book & Magazines: What Are You Reading?

I tend to read mostly magazines these days and just got the latest issues of Charisma magazine (Christian magazine), Auto Week, Natural Solutions, Old House Journal, and Hallmark magazine so I'm set for a day or two. I usually get anywhere from 1 to 5 new magazines in the mail every day so I have plenty to choose from.

Needless to say, I'm way behind in my reading!

I collect alot of religious books and my favorite book is John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress. I like inspirational and motivational books, particularly those books that might have an inspirational story or quote for each day.

I've also been reading bits and pieces of What If The Bible Had Never been Written? by D. James Kennedy. It details all the ways the Bible has influenced human civilization and it's very interesting so far.

I am actually pretty eclectic in my reading habits though. I've also been reading The Valachi Papers and another book on the history of the Mafia.

When I can't read, I will sometimes listen to an audio book and just got a science fiction trilogy by Philip Jose Farmer called Dayworld.

Re: Book & Magazines: What Are You Reading?

Lately my main reading is catching up on the Forums here at theBubbler!

Besides that, the Wall Street Journal, about 50 trade publications in my industry (mostly print) and the same for clients' industries.

Reading (listening to) The Search, a history of search engines, particularly Google. The book reads like a novel and includes the personal and business history behind the technology of search.

Also, some Dr. Laura and various marketing books.

I'm kind of reading my own book, WebForging, A Practical Guide to the Art of Forging Your Web Presence. I'm reading through a teleprompter for the audio and video versions of the book.

I also read a half dozen local daily and weekly papers.

Thanks for asking!

I'm interested in everyone else's input here, too.

Regards,
Keith

I agree Slaughterhouse Five, and pretty much all of Vonnegut's writing is awesome.

Re: Whatcha readin', Wisconsin?

The last book that I read was "The Suspicions of Mr Whicher:Murder and Undoing of a Great Victorian Detective" by Kate Summerscale. This highly rated book was a total let down. I could hardly pick it up to finish it. The book is to long winded and contains way to much additional information that really has nothing to do with the story. I would give it one star.
I would be interested to read what others on the Bubbler have to say about this book.

If you liked The DaVinci Code, you might aslo be interested in Holy Blood, Holy Grail, the "nonfiction" counterpart to the DaVinci Code.

It could have happened that way...or maybe some other way. I enjoyed the story.

Just to illustrate, here's a short list of some of the magazine titles I received in just the last couple days, in no particular order:

Elle Decor, Dime, PC Magazine, Woman's Day, Motor Trend, Metropolitan Home, O (Oprah magazine), Motorcyclist, American Baby, Antiques, Computer Graphics World, Old House Journal, and Road & Track

(all free subscriptions, by the way)

Re: Whatcha readin', Wisconsin?

I rarely read, I do not have the attention span for it.
The last book I read " The Last Lecture"
current books
"Free wheelin' times in Greenwich" by Suze Rotollo
also reading "The Secret" and "sailing alone around the world" a very difficult read for me as it was written in the late 1800's, I read and re-read to understand it.

Yeah, I rarely read for more than a few minutes at a time myself.. one reason I tend toward magazines these days.

Thank you for a wonderful post. You seem to be intensely engaged and patient...I think that's called motherhood.

Do you read to your child? As mine got older, the books I enjoyed most with them (for them AND ME) were the Madeleine L'Engle series, A Wind in the Door, A Swiftly Tilting Planet and a Wrinkle in Time. Here's a brief review:
[A Wrinkle in Time] combines devices of fairy
tales, overtones of fantasy, the philosophy of
great lives, the visions of science, and the
warmth of a good family story. It is an
exuberant book, original, vital, exciting. Funny
ideas, fearful images, amazing characters, and
beautiful concepts sweep through it. And it is
full of truth.
—Ruth Hill, A Critical History of
Children’s Literature

The review comes from this wonderful guide to the author's work:
http://www.glencoe.com/sec/literatur...le_in_time.pdf

Hope to post some others you might like.

Regards,
Keith

Re: Whatcha readin', Wisconsin?

A Wrinkle In Time was always a favorite book of mine and I still enjoy re-reading it from time to time. (I also have al her books in audio book format).

Ever seen the movie version of A Wrinkle In Time?

Ever seen the movie version of A Wrinkle In Time?
Agreed.

I read them as a kid, again in High School, again to each of a few of my kids.

Haven't seen the movie. Any good?

Are the audio books by the author? I'd love to hear her.

Regards,
