What are you reading?

This week its Flood Tide by Clive Cussler.
Last week was Not A Good Day To Die, The Untold Story Of Operation Ananconda by Sean Naylor

A Short History of Nearly Everything Bill Bryson - 5000 years of scientific achievement boiled down into one of the most interesting and readable books I have come across.

The COLLAPSE Of Globalism John Ralston Saul - Contrarian thinking on why the most recent movement towards globalism is doomed to failure (which is being validated by the Anti-Euro movement). WARNING: Ralston Saul has a tendency to try and use every word as a means of bludgeoning the reader with his intellect.

COLLOSSUS - The Rise And Fall Of The American Empire Niall Ferguson - An Englishman trying to convince Americans to accept they are an empire. Unfortunately, he ignores all the responsibilities and risks inherent with the position and fails to address the consequences (hugely paid by other nations) of American imperialism.

Conspiracy Of Fools Kurt Eichenwald - A history of the rise and fall of the Enron empire. Detailed examination of the various scams which helped vault Enron to the top-rank of American corporations and how they went undetected as long as they did. Does a very good job at painting Enron's CFO, Andy Fastow, as the architect of the glory days and their demise. Does a poor job of assigning due blame to COO, Jeff Skilling; and CEO, Ken Lay.

The Road To Hell: How The Bike Gangs Are Conquering Canada Julian Sher And William Marsden - Despite the subtitle, this book focuses for the most part on the Hell's Angel. Three-quarters of the book is devoted to Angels activities in Quebec and how numerous police organizations bungled almost every attempt to rein in Canada's most successful criminal organization. Later chapters examine how insular bureacrats and inept police work (notably by the RCMP) have allowed the Angels to spread and flourish across Canada, especially since their decline in Quebec.

Can anybody recommend some good romance novels? Not the sappy girly kind but you know...the not so subtle ones.

Obviously not. Btw, Im not gay.

OK pal,

Besides, whatever you read is good. btw, nice pic, where did you get it?

Green eggs and ham

Its actually really good!

Ermm....actually, I just started reading A JAzz Odyssey: The Life of Oscar Peterson

Just bought a Frank Zappa book too the other day. Gonna start on that after this one.

i'm reading "last witness" by jilliane hoffmann at the moment. it's an absolutely great book...intensely readyble.

"it's a heart-racing tale of a woman confronting her own fears and standing up to an evil that refusesto die"

I'm still trying to get through Don Quixote by Cervantes.

When I get bogged down with that as of late, I'm reading Soccer in Sun and Shadow by Eduardo Galeano, a Uruguayan noverlist. It's a sort of folk history of soccer from it's earliest origins to its standardization in Engalnd in 1871 to its modern, capitalistic, souless self. And along the way Galeano provides vignettes of the best players ever from Pele to Maradonna to some I never heard of. It's an enjoyable read.

I thought I'd be smart a few years ago and read Don Quixote, because it was 'such a classic', being 400 years old or whatever.... What a pile of garbage!!! Some lunatic who read too many 'knight in shining armour' books decides to run around, attacking everyone he meets and a windmill, which he thinks is a dragon. I hope it gets better for you, because if it weren't a library book, I would have launched it out the window.
