Which book are you reading right now?

[Zing!]

Nice! I've got the hardcover first edition of CFTH, but I'd like to find the paperback for traveling. It's like a survival manual, or guidebook for life. I can flip to any given page while on the road and just start reading.

Reading your posts right now. Boring as shit.
Nah, just kidding !!!

Just started Seal Target Geronimo, which is about the bin Laden "kill" raid. It supposedly contradicts the US Government official account of the raid. The author is a former SEAL and has many friends/contacts in Seal Team 6.

Just finished 'The Crimson Petal & The White' by Michael Faber.

A novel set in Victorian London centred around one man's affair with a prostitute. I enjoyed it, but was left a little unsatisfied - plenty of homages to Dickens and well worth your time if you can handle the rather graphic subject matter.

David Deida's "The Way Of The Superior Man"

Very uplifting material here...

After having read this through, my view on women has changed.
Why most of them give us guys shit tests, why a majority never seem satisfied (in a spiritual sense)... It's all there, and it makes sense.

Next book is Ilustrado by Miguel Syjuco.

Has anyone read it?

DON'T read this book. I am supposed to be reading it right now, but I'm doing everything else instead.

Could you explain a little more?

Nobody else has admitted it, so I will. "Fifty Shades of Gray", "Fifty Shades Darker", "Fifty Shades, Freed". Whips and Chains meets Harlequin romance. Sex on every other page. Perfect Beach reading.

I finally broke down and read Fifty Shades of Grey after hearing bad reviews. I don't know what to think. The writing is horrible and I wanted to smack Ana upside the head a million times. The sex gets boring after awhile, yet I was definitely engaged and interested to what happens in #2. I definitely understand why bored, sexually repressed housewives are eating these up; and I also understand the criticism too. I guess this is one of those guilty pleasures. Like I know I'm too smart to think much of this, but still intrigued. I kept waiting for more story to break out. There were enough hints to keep me interested to go on. So I'll bite and read the next one.

The Death Of Grass by John Christopher.About halfway through but so far it is pretty good

[Seshmeister]

Does it still stand up without seeming dated?

I read it in English at school many years ago.

[Dave's Bitch]

It is a little dated in the language they use,For example the way they speak about the Chinese but that aside it is not too bad.You can tell it was written in the 50's but it is not preventing me from enjoying the story and picturing it all playing out

Paraphrasing, a man should never think his woman's testing is going to end and his life will get easier. Rather, he should appreciate that she does these things to feel his strength, integrity and openness. As he grows, so will her testing. Because she wants to feel the man living at his fullest.

Buy it and read the rest of it yourself... :P

Pretty cool book I read it at school back in the day and borrowed a friends version a couple of years ago .

[lesfunk]

The book I'm reading right now is:

'Failed Musicians: Why Don't They Do Society A Favor And Up And Fucking Kill Themselves?'


Good prose, this.
