Kite Runner and Time Travelers Wife are both recent reads and are pretty good.

It was good....not as good as say Da Vinci, but well written none the less...

Going through my collection, so reading Melanie Rawn's SUPERB Exiles series (Ruins of Ambrai and MageBorn Traitor are released, Captal's Tower will be released sometime in the next 100 years :D (seeing as we've been waiting for nigh on TEN years for the new book O_o)), Eric Nylund's Halo books, Peter Telep's Descent series, some old BattleTech books, Steven Erikson's Malazan Book of the Dead fantasy/sci-fi series, and rereading The Art of Peace by Morehei Ueshima and the Art of War by Sun Tzu

^Vagabond, which translation of The Art Of War are you reading, and how do you like it?

I'm just wrapping up The Art of War. I've recently read The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho, which is quite good. Cliche at times, but nevertheless a great read. Also just finished A colloection of poems by Pablo Neruda.

I have the John Minford translation/analysis book. I don't read his analysis, just Sun Tzu's actual words. Minford does a good job translating :thumbsup: As for the content, I've always been a student of military and combat philosophy, so the Art of War is like *THE* book to read, hence I really enjoy it :thumbsup:

I am now on my third John Lescroart novel, basically John Grisham style books but actually good.

13th Juror
The Motive
and now reading Guilt.

Some other authors that I enjoy are Robin Cook and Steve Martini.

Read the Dan Brown books also, what bothered me was that I read A&D before Da Vinci Code. If you like Sci-Fi stuff, check out William Gibson.
