Thought i would start a thread where we could all discuss what we were reading...

Im currently reading Double Cross by James Patterson. Its pretty good so far, but i just started it. I just finished reading The Stand by Stephen King, which was a massive 1153 pages long, so its kind of a relief to read a 300 page book now.

Im almost done



Great ook so far, completely different from all other History books that I have read, it really gets a perspective from the people who were living through the cold war.

Before that I read



I read it when I was young, and I decided that I should re-read it, and it was definately worth reading it again, I had a whole different perspective on it after reading it again. Definately one of my favourite books.

Just got done with Chuck Palahniuk's Snuff. Sort of a novella but great nonetheless.




Also just finished Freakonomics. Very interesting read.




Currently reading The Other Hollywood. It is incredible so far.

I've never been an autobiography fan in the most part but am definitely stuck on John Peels' Margrave of the Marshes



Unfortunately he died before it was finished. I havent been able to put it down yet.

I didn't like Freakonomics. I thought it was kind of telling my stuff I already knew... also I felt like they were just preaching the Protestant work ethic.

I recently was confined in a detention facility so needless to say I did a lot of reading - titles include 'The Hours' (a strictly literary piece), 'The Constant Gardner' (highly recommend), 'Cannery Row' (highly recommend), 'Killer Instinct' by Joseph Finder which was a surprisingly enjoyable read, the guy has a great writing style. I also read those 'Adventures of Merlin Books,' but they didn't measure up to the HP's. I also love everything by Chuck P, namely 'Survivor' ... Tried to read some Robin Cook, particularly 'Coma' but I couldnt get into it.
