At the river I stand. I am only 20 pages into it so I don't have any critique.
Currently reading "The Golden Spruce." I'm only about 50 or so pages into it so far, and like Laura, I can't offer my opinion just yet.
Those are 2 very vague generalities, could you please expound?

The Last American Man
The Last American Man
It came out that James Frey fabricated parts of this book, and now it is now considered a fictional account of a drug addict.
Don't you watch Oprah?
It was all over the news, the only specific example I know of is that he only spent 1 night in prison
Just because it's your favorate show doesn't mean any other men watch it.
I suppose you watch a lot of all-male shows, dontcha?
Currently reading "10 Days in December" about the Battle of the Bulge.
Is that about Americans putting on winter/holiday weight?

Take it to the PD forum, numbnuts.
Yeah, Love them both. Do you like the TV series? I think it kicks major @ss. Bob is a little annoying, but Dresden & Murphy are greatYou are my new favorite monkey!
Yes, I've read the complete series of Nightside and Dresden books! Even watching the Dresden TV show.
I'm guessing you've read them or at least are thinking about it?
I thought the P stood for politics, not philosophy.Take it to the PD forum, numbnuts.

For a while there, when the scandal broke, the publisher was giving refunds to buyers if they could prove they had purchased the book within a certain time period.
Nope, but dan tells me your late night HBO series is pretty good
Hayden Carruth, Reluctantly
10 days? You got shorted a day.
If you haven't read A Time for Trumpets by MacDonald its a much better account.
Patton and the Battle of the Bulge by Greene is also a good one but with emphasis on the Third Army's actions.
The wild Muir.A collection of his best adventures.
I just finished "The Monkey Wrench Gang" by Edward Abbey. Great stuff.
"I thought I was wrong once, but then I realized I was mistaken."
Classic.
I started "In Cold Blood" last night and fell asleep after two pages. Not a good sign.

I started the koran today, time for a second go through
Funny you should mention but I was home sick the day she did the interview. i've also read the book. i've also read everything that he possibly made up. the other dudes statement was overboard and misinformed.
It's a good book. Now the other book 'my friend lenerd' seems like almost a total fabrication. It's an ok read but seems like he's setting it up to be a movie. The ending is totally fake.

I hate him.
Revelation Space sucked so much. I got 500 pages in and closed the book for good.
Is that related to the Matrix movie?
I couldn't read straight through this one. I like to keep it next to the bed or at my desk at work and just read a short section at a time.
Blasphemy! Well, sucks for you. You missed out. His full length books always take a while to get going.
I want to write a book of essays...maybe someday. Right after I complete my century and do a solo 24
: WTF?
How much more than 500 PAGES do you need "get going"?
His characters were dull, lifeless and unsympathetic. I wanted them all to die.
Request it. They'll buy or borrow 'em for you.Edit: Goddam library doesn't have either one.
That book got my roommate to stop being a catholic... It's good.
Must have been quite committed to the faith.
Have allready read all the fiction i am willing to read for life.
Currently finishing;
Rip it up and start again: Postpunk 1978-84
Polio: An American Story
Polio is a good read, but my favorite "disease book" of the last few years is The Great Influenza about the 1914-19 flu pandemic.
