Read anything good lately?

I've been stuck on Samuel Daniel's "Delia". Beautiful language.

 

I am currently reading this:



I'm reading Sperm Wars by Robin Baker next then the book in my sig as soon as it comes out. Nice.

 

I could probablv recommend a million books for a million different tastes but I'll limit it to one book that I think would appeal to all tastes. It's an engaging story about a young girl during the WW2 years, called The Book Thief. It's funny, moving and written in a quite distinctive style. The characters are unforgettable. It's one of the few recent publications that I've read and I found it unputdownable. Enjoy. I

 

Good choice! I keep eyeballing them on my shelf...considering re-reading them.

 

I love that book! I read it to my son every day for two months while he was in the incubator in the hospital. The sound of my voice helped, since I couldn't hold him.

 

I'm without a doubt reading Fedors book.

Murderologist.

 

Did you read the one he did with Terry Pratchett called Good Omens?

Fantasticlly funny book.

 

Amazon description:
In Fedor, the undefeated, undisputed heavyweight MMA champion of the world unveils for the first time his trademark striking and grappling techniques through descriptive narrative and more than 2500 step-by-step color photographs. Detailing dozens of throws, punching combinations, cardio workouts and ground and pound techniques, this book leaves no stone unturned.

Should.. be... awesome!

 

I like to read snippets of not so modern history, and some gems from the past year are:

'The dig tree' (author/publisher unknown) ...a fantastic account of one expedition to discover the interior of Australia back way back when.

'Rubicon' (Tom holland/publisher unknown) ... A great story-led historical account of the end of the roman republic and the rise of Julius Ceasar and efforts by the senate and Pompey to regain control. Generally a good read about early rome.

I found both riveting.

 

I don't know what I could suggest to you... But right now I'm re-reading 'The Waves' by Virginia Woolf. Lately, I've been reading novels by Graham Swift - 'Out of this World,' 'Tomorrow,' 'The Sweetshop Owner,'... and I remember a very nice but little known novel of Virginia Woolf, 'Orlando,' about a man who decided to be immortal, and he goes through different ages, from the Elizabethan age to Woolf's time...

 

Is that a real book?

 

"Loser Goes First(My Thirty-Something Years of Dumb Luck and Minor Humiliation)" by Dan Kennedy

It's an auto-biog.

Very interesting and intertaining read.

I highly suggest tracking a copy down.

 

Dear God, what is wrong with me?!

ENTERTAINING.

I swear to you I've been fully educated.

haha

 

I forgot to mention that I loooooooove autobiographies. Not so much a fan of biographies unless I know a little bit about the author. I don't trust books written about people by people who didn't even know them.

 

Catcher in the Rye.

 

Poison study by Maria v Snyder

Well actually, I read it again lately, I first read it before it came out, because my dads friend is friends with the writer


Good book nonetheless ^_^
