Good books you've read lately

[lil*tymer]

Well i haven't seen a thread like this before, and im about to go to chapters with nothing in mind, and would like some idea's.

I just read Marching Powder, about an English guy who gets throuwn in jail in Bolivia. The book started off good, but it seemed to contradict its self about half way through, and went down hill from there.

This month's Road & Track

[Hakkola]

What genre?

Other than Tolkien books, the Dune series of books are the only novels that I've ever found to be worth reading more than once.

Tom Clancy novels are always interesting as well.

I've been working my way through Daniel Silva's novels recently. His most recent is Moscow Rules

[w_man]

I have read almost all books from John Grisham ... always a fantastic read

[kerry]

This Is Your Brain On Music.

Great book.

[Unlaced]

The Shack by WM. Paul Young is good, though on the religious side.

A Long Way Gone by Ishmael Beah is also a good book.

[TYMSMNY]

The Art of War.

[sexualbanana]

Depends on what you're into. The only fictional novel I've read lately were Endwar by Tom Clancy (well, not really anymore) and The Associate by John Grisham. Depending on what your interests are, I go through 3 or 4 books a month on all sorts of different topics.

If you're into MMA, Blood in the Cage by Wertheim is a really good book about Pat Miletich and the beginning of the UFC. Brought back some memories of my first time watching UFC 1 and 2.

If you're into music, there's Appetite for Self-Destruction bt Steve Knopper. Which covers the mistakes that the major record labels made with MP3s, Napster, iTunes, etc.

If you're into animation or movies, I liked The Pixar Touch by David A Price about the beginnings of Pixar as a computer hardware to a major movie producer.

Science-non-fiction: The Physics of the Impossible by Michio Kaku. It talks about the possibility of some of the technologies that science-fiction has created like starships, time travel, invisibility, etc. It's not a bad read, but can be a little confusing because of the heavy science involved.

I just finished the new Stephen King - Duma Key. Really good book. One of his best in my opinion!

There's a book by a person named Warren Fellows. It's about his time in a Thai prison. That is a real good read.

It really depends on what types of books you're into. I'm more into real life/biography books as opposed to novels. Right now I'm reading a book by Barack Obama called Dreams from My Father and it's fantastic.

Paper Fan is another one - it's about an Asian gangster from Vancouver.

Any Michael Crichton book.
The State of Fear, Next, and he has a new one coming out (the one he was writing on when he died..)
I love Crichton, soooo good.

just finished
six bullets one chamber by sonny barger.

About a motorcycle club that gets in some shit with the local Russian mafia in Oakland. Pretty good read.

[schurchill39]

I just finished Helter skelter not to long ago. Very informative but it took a while to get used to how it was written. Before that was the long hard road out of hell Marylin Mansons auto biography. Probably one of the best books I've read for sure

[soupey]

call me crazy but ive been reading the twilight series with my gf, if u can ignore the sappy over descriptive parts about how awesome edward is, the books aren't half bad.

Prey is my favorite. I just finished Next and it was definitely my least favorite.

I liked Timeline. Lots of "oh shit how is he going to get out of this" situations.
