EWolfe Posted November 5, 2003 Posted November 5, 2003 Winter's coming, and it's time to cozy up with a good book. Just finished: The Darker Saints The Small Book by Jack Trimpey Reading: The Superlative Horse (again) by Jean Merrill The Road Less Travelled (again) by Scott Peck Soul Mates by Thomas Moore Quote
Dru Posted November 5, 2003 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. Quote

catbirdseat Posted November 5, 2003 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. Quote
allthumbs Posted November 5, 2003 Posted November 5, 2003 who really gives a shit what anybody is lying about reading? Quote
bunglehead Posted November 5, 2003 Posted November 5, 2003 Dru said: Don't we have this same thread like every month? Yes we do, and I'm still reading the same books. Fatland (almost done though) The Making of the Atom Bomb Hmm... I'm gonna go out and buy that book on Krakatoa. Quote

minx Posted November 5, 2003 Posted November 5, 2003 the power of one (thanks for the recommendations) colter-cool book about a dog 2-D proteomics Quote
RobBob Posted November 5, 2003 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. Quote
sk Posted November 5, 2003 Posted November 5, 2003 I am still trying to get to the new harry potter. reading how to climb 5.12. a book on aurtherian mythos... and a bunch of other stuff on animal totems and the such. Quote
Alpinfox Posted November 5, 2003 Posted November 5, 2003 Recently finished "Salt: A World History" Mark Kurlansky half of a Just finished "Desert Solitaire" Edward Abbey ...if you like that one, you should read "The Island Within" Richard Nelson Starting today: "The Wild Muir: 22 of J.M.'s greatest adventures" Quote
RobBob Posted November 5, 2003 Posted November 5, 2003 IMHO...the idea of the world as a wilderness park is as trite and far-fetched as the other extreme. Quote
Distel32 Posted November 5, 2003 Posted November 5, 2003 "The Surrounded" by D'arcy McNickle Finished "Our Man in Havana" by Graham Greene, GGOODDDD book! Quote

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
