Whoops, missed that part. Hmm. This would be easier if I was in the same location as my book collection. All I've got on me is Bond and Infinite Jest.

I definitely recommend the Bond books if you haven't read 'em. Fleming does good work.

Aight I'll look into the Bond books - is that a series?

Also has anyone read or heard of the book 'From Gangland to Promised Land' (I tihnk its an informal biography)? I met the author recently and I can pick it up for free, wondering if its worth it (the read, not the $0 cost)..

Blindness by Jose Saramago (lovin it!)
The Tale of Genji by Murasaki Shikibu (just starting)

If anyone enjoys reading history I'd highly recommend reading Fateful Choices: Ten Decisions That Changed the World, 1940-1941 by Ian Kershaw.

One of the more interesting books about WWII you'll ever find.

If you feel a book is worthy of discussing by all means please start a thread about it. That's why we have a forum now. Having a few threads replace what one thread did wouldn't be too much of a step forward.

Winston Churchill, Soldier, The Military Life of a Gentleman at War - Douglas S. Russell

**E.H. Munro** · 08-06-2008, 09:16 AM

Reading Boris Akunin's The Death of Achilles. As a fan of his Sister Pelagia mysteries, I'm a little disappointed. It's mostly the detective (Erast Fandorin), who's also a near indestructible super soldier. It takes a lot of the thrill out of the genre.

Meant to grab my collection of Dashiell Hammett novels and grabbed Anna Karenina instead, so I'm reading that...

Gil's All Fright Diner by A. Lee Martinez

Star Wars : the clone wars by Karen Traviss

Dracula by Bram Stoker, soon to be replaced by even more dissertation reading.

Recently finished El capitan Alatriste by Arturo Perez-Reverte and The Complete Sherlock Holmes, Vol. 1 and 2 by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

I'm reading Three Cups of Tea for school. It's not that interesting imo.

The Light of Other Days by Arthur C. Clarke & Stephen Baxter
