Slash from Gun & Roses book. Nice read.

Finished this up the other week. Now I am on to Ghost Rider by Neil Peart.

Just finished The Quiet Game by Greg Iles. Now I`m starting another one of his, True Evil. Great author, I just discovered his work.

I've enjoyed his books. I think I've read all of them.

Just finished Homeland by John Jakes, regarding early 19th century Chicago through the eyes of a young German immigrant whose Uncle owned a big brewery. Great reading on the divide between the rich and the poor at that time in the US, as there was no real middle class.

I'm now hammering through Grisham's latest, the Associate. He's back to writing quick-thrill legal drama and it makes for a fun albeit fast read.

Let us know how this one is, oi?

 

[tatjunkie]

Patrick,
The Associate was pretty good.... I love quick thrill books for some reason

 

[Patrick B]

Not that they are so highly regarded, but Grisham's adventures sure are fun. I cringe every time he puts out something other than legal based books. Playing for Pizza was awful, and I wanted to return it to the half-priced book store to get my $3 back.

For me on and off it is the Complete works of Edgar Allen Poe. I like this one since it is full of short stories, so you can complete one and then pick it up again when you have more time and start another.

I will, it is a somber book. After the death of daughter and wife he set off on a solo bike trip to clear his head.

true detective by jonathan kellerman. then david baldacci's new one on deck.

 

[Moro]

Extraordinary Narrations by Poe (At least that's the name in Spanish)

 

[blooz4u]

Poe is Spanish ??

 

[Moro]

Yes. Some stuff I own in English, some in Spanish. The latter's cheaper here.

 

[blooz4u]

Aye, but can you read it ??

:devil:

 

[Moro]

Aye, but can you read it ??

:devil:

Better than many. 2 years of poetry lessons help loads.

 

[blooz4u]

I'm decent at speaking Spanish... still learning how to follow a conversation. I probably could read a little as well, if I put forth the effort!

 

[shuckins]

Dirty Jokes and Beer....Drew Carey

 

[Shmear]

The boy with the striped pajamas by J. B

 

[mav_sd]

The Black Swan - Nassim Nicholas Taleb

Interesting read about improbable events... if you like Malcolm Gladwells stuff, check out Taleb. (Fooled By Randomness is also very very good)

 

[strife]

Still as topical today as it was when Frenchman Fredric Bastiat wrote it in the early part of the 1800's. Almost Prophetic, the same situation exists in America today as in the France of 1848.

THE LAW By Fredric Bastiat

"Clearly then, the conscience of the social democrats cannot permit persons to have any liberty because they believe that the nature of mankind tends always toward every kind of degradation and disaster. Thus, of course, the legislators must make plans for the people in order to save them from themselves." - Fredric Bastiat 1850
