Another for the 2018 reading list. The panel has long since had this book on the docket for a podcast. Perhaps in 2018, we may make it happen. #samuelbeckett #beckett #murphy #bookstagram #bookshelf #futureepisode #podcast #literarypodcast #irishwriter

Sometimes before moving forward, it is always good to take a look back. One panelist is revisiting books not read since college. #beowulf #seamusheaney #translation #verse #bookstagram #bookshelf #bookstoread

It’s cold, dreary, and some parts of the country, snowy. So why not improve your mood with a thick Russian tome? #leotolstoy #tolstoy #russianliterature #literature #tome #bookstagram #winterreading #itsfuckingcold

All of us from Infinite Gestation wish everyone a Happy New Year. Hopefully it will be better than 2017. One panelist received a good present which is a new office. Yay work space. #office #bookstagram #bookshelf #typewriter #desk #workspace #writingspace

What can accompany a good book? Your sinuses saying “fuck you” right before the holidays. Oh well, at least the book is good. #kurtvonnegut #palmsunday #essays #collection #sinusinfection #hallscoughdrops #bookstagram

It is a satisfying feeling to complete a collection. Another panelist is the proud owner The Danzig Trilogy, all of which are a #firstedition . #guntergrass #thetindrum #catandmouse #dogyears #bookshelf #bookstagram #proudowner

It’s been a moment since we’ve done a Vonnegut post. Thanks to a gift from @writersnamedsamuelarecool , @wait.wait.ohyeahgkarazsia has another Vonnegut #firstedition to add to the collection. #kurtvonnegut #mothernight #palmsunday #slapstick #jailbird #deadeyedick #galapagos #bluebeard #hocuspocus #timequake #bagombosnuffbox #armageddoninretrospect #ifthisisntnicewhatis #bookstagram #bookshelfgoals #toomanyhashtags

Not a bad way to spend a Saturday I think. If you find yourself in West Lafayette, Ind. check out Vons shop (the basement is where all the used books are, and this photo was one of many aisles). #bookhaul #bookstagram #shoplocal #usedbooks #christmasshopping #independentbookstore #staurdayfunday

It must be noted this post would not be possible if not for @writersnamedsamuelarecool . “Collusion” is one of those of rare books that may seem unbelievable, but the argument and the facts weaved together by the author give you no other choice but to believe. This is one book you should not ignore. Much like Sam, I thought there was little this book could say that I already didn’t know. I couldn’t have been more wrong. Not only is it well researched, but Harding’s narrative style is probably one of the strongest I’ve read in quite some time. I couldn’t recommend “Collusion” enough. Also, I look forward to starting “The Snowden Files” soon. -Grant #collusion #lukeharding #thesnowdenfiles #trumprussia #journalism #journalismdoneright #bookstagram #currentaffairs

“It was his own soul going forth to experience, unfolding itself sin by sin...." By the way, I love my @penguinbooks Drop Caps edition. #jamesjoyce #portraitoftheartistasayoungman #classic #literature #bookstagram #coverart #oneofthebest

It’s heartbreaking, yet a rapturous piece of literature. If you haven’t read anything by Imre Kertesz, you should check him out. #imrekertesz #fiasco #nobelprizewinner #nobel #melvillehouse #bookstagram #booksworthreading #bookstorevisit #bookshelf

After reading “A Visit from the Goon Squad,” one panelist is eager to check out Jennifer Evan’s latest novel “Manhattan Beach.” The panel had a high opinion of her Pulitzer Prize-winning novel. #jenniferegan #manhattanbeach #avisitfromthegoonsquad #pultizer #pulitzerprize #newbook #bookstagram #lookforwardtoreading

Need some heavy times to read during the winter months? The three volume biography of Theodore Roosevelt by Edmund Morris is comprehensive to say the least, also the first book, “The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt” won the Pulitzer Prize. #history #theodoreroosevelt #teddy #pulitzer #bookstagram #edmundmorris #theodorerex #colonelroosevelt #biography #winterreading

Just in, one panelist just bought a #firstedition of the second Dirk Gently book. This copy will look great next to his first edition of “Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency.” “It can hardly be a coincidence that no language on earth has ever produced the expression, 'As pretty as an airport.’” #dirkgently #thelongdarkteatimeofthesoul #bookhaul #booksandtea #bookstagram #douglasadams #scifi #humor #bookworm

For #scifisunday this time the book is more modern. It takes a quite a book to win both the Hugo and Nebula awards, but not all readers agree. What are your thoughts on Paolo Bacigalupi’s “The Windup Girl”?

At one point, one panelist owned everything by Albert Camus, but due to an open lending policy this is all that remains. Oh well, hopefully they read them at least. #albertcamus #absurdism #camus #algerian #themythofsisyphus #thefall #theplague #bookstagram

After reading “Team of Rivals” by Doris Kearns Goodwin, one panelist decided to go a little deeper with his studies of Abraham Lincoln with these two selections....one being literary while the other is Lincoln in his own words. #abrahamlincoln #speeches #writings #libraryofamerica #gorevidal #lincoln #bookstagram #winterreading

Highlights from a recent #bookhaul from California. Besides enjoying the weather (40 degrees higher than in Indiana) it was great to check out all the book stores and libraries near Palm Springs. #isaacasimov #foundation #preludetofoundation #colmtoibin #norawebster #lyndonjohnson #robertcaro #solzhenitsyn #cancerward #apricotjam #arabiannights #democracyinamerica #alexisdetocqueville #bookstagram #manofsteel
