Great suggestion, I'm a little over halfway through the book.I just finished "Cocaine: an unauthorized biography" by Dominic Streatfeild. Amazing book, if you think the "War on Drugs" is winnable read this for a reality check.
That sounds good. I've added it to my wishlist.I am half way through "Train Your Mind, Change Your Brain: How a New Science Reveals Our Extraordinary Potential to Transform Ourselves".
Gave me a whole new perspective on Buddhism and has some cool stuff. Some of it reads like a medical journal, but it's not too bad to get through.
I thought movies were so I could AVOID reading?So I saw they are releasing a movie of a book I read in college (for fun, not class).
The Way of the Peaceful Warrior, by Dan Millman.
Read it before you see the movie
I picked up Prey at Barnes and Noble the other day, but it didn't sound very promising, so I put it back. I did read Next, and yes, it was NOT one of his better books.The last three books by Crichton were weak. I'm not sure where "State of Fear" falls in the chronology, but "Prey" for example was the suck.[/url]
ugh, am I the only one that hated that book?I've got "On the Road" by JK waiting on the shelf... now to find some time to read it.
Can you be more specific? What kind, style, humor, pace, narration...I'm looking for a good fiction read. Any suggestions?
No sci-fi or fantasy. Humor? Not in the mood right now.Can you be more specific? What kind, style, humor, pace, narration...
Or what are some of the books/authors you've read that you'd like to find similar stuff?
2 of Koontz's better books, IMO:Of the mainstream authors I've read, three stand out: Grisham, Koontz, and King.
Try this....Just finished Survivor by Chuck Palahchuck(sp?). It was my first book of his, and I'd say that it was okay. People rave about him, so perhaps this simply wasn't one of his better books.

Golden Compass movie starts todayFinished Chaos by Gleick. A great and important book if you're into science.
Reading The Tangled Wing by Konner and The Golden Compass
I can't believe a hippy like yourself hasn't already read it.I've got "On the Road" by JK waiting on the shelf... now to find some time to read it.
It's a great book. The first in a long time that I had dreams about.The Road
Kind of like Waiting for Godot meets The Road Warrior.
The polar bears fighting was cool. That was the lone bright spot. I get the feeling that the movie could have been better if it was twice as long.Golden Compass movie starts today
Hope it's a good translation from the books as they rocked.
You saw it already? Today, early release?The polar bears fighting was cool. That was the lone bright spot.
