KarateKen Posted September 26 Author Posted September 26 Charlie Sheen's memoir was everything you would expect it to be. Possibly my favorite book this year.
KarateKen Posted October 27 Author Posted October 27 Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. Published in 1818 making it the oldest novel I have ever read. That is a record that has been held since 2012 when I read Mark Twain. Strangely, I don't recall ever reading any Mark Twain in school. Nor did I read Lord of the Flies.

Excited to see what you think about it! The language can take a minute to get used to, but once you do it's smooth sailing.

Sounds like I needed to give it more time. I am now reading Framed by John Grisham, but I might try Frankenstein at a later time and will let you know my thoughts if I do. Thanks for your interest. Do you read a lot of science fiction?

Sci-fi/Fantasy is largely what I read for entertainment. Martial arts training is 30% classroom training, 70% solo training.https://www.instagram.com/nordic_karate/
