Dru Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 Don't we have this same thread like every month? I just finished THE FORTRESS OF SOLITUDE by Jonathan Lethem. Next I am gonna read some John M Ford book from the 1980's, or reread PERDIDO ST STATION by China Mieville. I need a couple of 400 page specials for next week when I go off to logging camp to get me through the long nights with nothing to do but talk logger.

catbirdseat Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 Dru said: Don't we have this same thread like every month? Yes, but hopefully, the books are different. I'm reading FBI: Behind the World's Most Powerful Law Enforcement Agency by Ronald Kessler. A lot of the stories I've heard before, but many I have not. It's an enjoyable read.

RobBob Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 no... its the ONLY way to stay in the game... and the only way to make $$$ and consequently eat. IMO tri (or any other relatively-low-$-return sport) is a stupid way to make a living. Double that if ya have to sacrifice your future health in order to eat.

Is it in paperback? I just read Fred Moody's "Seattle and the Demons of Ambition : A Love Story". It's OK, but it's more about Fred Moody than Seattle. Not worth the hard cover price I paid. Before that it was Fight Club. Shockingly, the movie is better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
