Im sure this has been done before but for the life of me i cant find it..
So read a good book lately?
Just picked up a copy of the motorcycle diaries..Any good?
Its a memoir/Journal about Che Guevara & his friend Alberto Granado travels around South America on a Norton Motorbike..
Will do a review once i have finished it :-)
Read a Good Book lately?
I re-read Sun Tzu's Art of War every summer. So good.
Also, "Paying for It" by Chester Brown is really good.
just finished "Three Cups of Tea" and it was a pretty interesting read
but I have a vested interest in Kashmir/Pakistan, being that I've had to go there so many times for work
but it's a fascinating book and very unique story about someone making the best of a bad situation and then trying to make up for lost time by making the forgotten parts of the world a better place

Girl With the Dragon Tattoo was pretty good.I read the first 100 or so pages of Perry Moore's, "Hero," couldn't finish it though.
And now I'm trying to read "Girl With the Dragon Tattoo."
@Mr. Mercury: Well I liked most of the second series and part of the first. Any essay in which he talked about nature was good. You?
Im sure this has been done before but for the life of me i cant find it..I'm reading The Story of Che Guevara by Lucia Alvarez De Toledo. Its pretty good and really well writin

I'm not reading so heavy material as all of you, just re-reding "Hawks Harbor" by S.E.Hinton.
Just watched an awesome trailer for the new Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.
Is the book worth checking into?
VERY disappointing! I agree
but some of King's books really are quite good and very entertaining
I love Gerald's Game- very very creepy book
@Chaos Prime: also a great book a much different experience than 3 Cups, but a great book too@god_spawn said:
@Chaos Prime: I didn't like the Kite Runner at all.@god_spawn Why? read the reviews & it got alot of good press..
I recently finished a book titled Holy Superheroes that does a study into the use of religion in comics and how the creation of many of the characters was inspired by different religious figures, particularly from Christian and Jewish faith. I liked it so much I picked up another book on the subject called the Gospel According to Superheroes which is much more in-depth and seems to be geared more toward the avid comics reader. Highly Recommended.
I've been reading A Song of Ice and Fire with my g/f. Great series. It's what Game of Thrones on HBO is based off of.
Currently reading the Malazan books, frickin adictive as all else if you're into the fantasy genre, be warned though, calling the series enormous is an understatement, I think it's currently at 12 books and almost all of them are 1200+ pages in paper back with tiny print to boot. The only books I've enjoyed more than this series are Martin's Song of Ice and Fire, course the old coot needs to hurry up and finish that series, lol.
I remember starting Tai Pan when I was a kid. But before I'd got through the 5th chapter someone showed me the movie. Which was so terrible I lost all interest in the book.James Clavell's novel Shogun (about English sailor in feudal Japan). Very interesting
Lately I've read Anna Karenina. Not the kind of thing I go for usually, but it was unbelievably good. I especially liked the character Levin.
Also, Incidents in the life of a slave girl by Harriet Jacobs. It's a harrowing read that will leave you seething with anger in places. But it's a must read imo.
If anyone is in to the Dexter books then the latest one is really good. The last 2 sucked so it was quite a pleasant surprise.
I've just started Heart of darkness and intend to watch apocalypse now once I finish it. I've only just finished the first section and I have mixed feelings, but I'd say the positives outweigh the negatives so far.
I love having Kindle on my phone. It's meant I can really catch up on my reading and I have several titles to start when I finish the ones I'm on now. As well as meaning that I've been able to try several free books that I wouldn't have given a second glance under normal circumstances.
I had mixed feelings about this book, but I have a feeling something important was lost in translation (I've read it in Russian).
Haha, I was just about to say this ~I re-read Sun Tzu's Art of War every summer. So good.
Except for the bit about summer.
