Books N shit

Until probably 2 years ago I had probably only finished reading about 3-4 books. But now I am chewing through them.

I recently finished Dexter by design. Loved it, probably my favourite book of the series.

I am now half way through Birds of prey by wilbur smith. I was a bit reluctant to start it but I am digging it, lots of sex violence swords n shit.

So whats everyone reading and would they reccomend it ?

Anyone else got into the freakiness that is Haruki Murakami

River God by Wilbur Smith and its 3 sequels are really good if your into ancient Egypt and stuff. I recommend them.

ive been reading my dads old books.
stuff from P.G Wodehouse and Elmore Lenard.
reccomend anything by them. funny man Mr P.G is..

Kingdom of Fear by Hunter S Thompson.
Great book, here's an excerpt:

Surviving a lightning strike is even worse than dying from it, according to people who have lived (returned from the dead, in fact) because 8,000,000,000 volts of electricity is an unacceptable trauma to tissue of the human body. It fries everything in its path and leaves every organ in the body, from blood vessels to brain cells and even the sexual system, charred like overcooked bacon for the rest of its delicate life.

My friend Tex got hit by lightning one gloomy afternoon in the parking lot of the Woody Creek Tavern. "It kicked the mortal shit out of me," he said later. "It blasted me fifty goddamn feet across the road and over a snow fence. I was out for forty minutes, and when I woke up I smelled like death."

I was there that day, and I thought a bomb had gone off right in front of me. I was unconscious for a while, but not for long. When I woke up I was being dragged toward a shiny sky-blue ambulance by two well-meaning medics from the Sheriff's Office....I twisted out of their grasp and backed against an ice machine. "Okay, boys," I said calmly, "the Joke is over. Let's not get crazy about this. Give me some air, gentlemen," I croaked. "I feel a little jangled, but I know it will pass. Get your hands off me, you pigfucker."

No doubt it sounded rude to casual onlookers, but in truth it was not. I was just kidding with them. They know me.

Marching powder
The boy in the striped pyjamas - read that in about 2 hours..
Slumdog millionaire - book is better than movie I thought

World War Z

i also read alot of books about how the world will end, either naturally or politically.

the future doesnt look so good for humankind.

im reading this Gorillaz Rise of the Ogre book i picked up for 10 bucks at one of those dirt cheap book stores.

proper good!

american psycho, it is a million times better then the movie.

Nassim Nicholas Taleb - Fooled By Randomness

fakes read ninteen eighty-four if you havent already.

I recently read "Don't Tell Mum I Work on the Rigs, She Thinks I'm a Piano Player in a Whorehouse" by Paul Carter. If you like laughing out loud while you are reading, get a hold of it. Or better yet, "A Confederacy of Dunces" by John Kennedy O'Toole, a classic!

I've just picked up "Shantaram" by Gregory David Roberts for the second time. Not too many novels that I'll go back and read again, but it has so many facets it is worth going through again.

There have been a heap of other novels in the last couple of months, none really too worthy of mention though.

just finished lance armstrongs first book "its not about the bike".
pretty good read..
buying his second one this week

jack heath books are pritty sick. i reccomend them to everyone.
umm the cherub series by robert muchamore but only read them if your in to spys and shit and the books are aimed at teens.
any thing by matthew riley especially the scarecrow books, a very good read.

nearly finished "Ishmael" by Daniel Quinn, interesting food 4 thought

brave new world - aldous huxley

i remember hating it when i was at school, but ive read it since and its a really good book.

im reading this Gorillaz Rise of the Ogre book i picked up for 10 bucks at one of those dirt cheap book stores.

proper good!

Fight Club. Also better than the movie. Defs worth the read.

Worst book ever, very repetitive. Take drugs, have a wild time, realise your a looser, go to rehab, start all over again.


Read The Dirt if you want a good rock star story

I liked Fooled By Randomness more than The Black Swan. But this is my second time reading Fooled By Randomness and a lot more info. is sinking in. I'll be reading The Black Swan again at some point in time as well.

I'm trying to get through George Soros' The Alchemy of Finance as well, but that's a bit tougher.

-My thoughts exactly. I was so fucking annoyed at him by the end of the book. What a dick.
