[Mike, Lord of the Spammers!]

At the moment I'm reading Notes of a Sniper by Vassily Zaitzev http://www.amazon.co.uk/Notes-Russian-Sniper-Vassili-Zaitsev/dp/1848325657/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1266572383&sr=1-1 So far it's pretty good too

An old novel in the Magic: The Gathering series. I was a casual player for a time, then found the novels and found them to be rather interesting. Now I found some in .pdf formats and am reading them on my PSP(since I can't afford an Ebook reader like Kindle I'll just have to make do).

Looks interesting mate.  Is it him recounting his tales or is it more of a 'how to' of the sniper.  Or a bit of both?

Well I'm only 3 chapters in, but so far it's strictly a biography

I just read a book called how to amputate a leg.  Its by an ex Aussie special forces guy about random funny and touching stories from his life.  Very funny book, well worth a look.

My fav. Bram stokers Dracula. Got them in english and german versions
I´m reading some Clive Barker books right now, also good stuff.
Sorry, just know the german titles for the books.
The Books of Blood were pretty good

[Sea Monster]

I just finished Tim Winton's "Breath"


If you don't read the first and last 6 pages, it's a really good surfing-slash-coming of age story, if you DO read the first and last 6 pages it's a story about a man's obsession with erotic asphyxiation.

Done with Asimov (for now). Reading "The Short-Timers" by Gustav Hasford, this book inspired Kubrick to make the "Full Metal Jacket". You can find and read it for free here http://www.gustavhasford.com/short.htm I uploaded it to my ebook readed

[Sean]

Some new authors for me. 

[ryan1835]

A book by Louis theroux though I can't remember the name

[cerbera147]

This



Also got the latest Vince Flynn book, 'Pursuit Of Honor' 

For those not aware Flynn's books they involve a CIA operative called Mitch Rapp, who in my opinion inspired Jack Bauer, who basically kicks terrorist a$$ 

[yud]

We tried "reading" the audiobook of Jaws, but it was no where near as good as the movie.  


So time to watch the movie


We also did a few Anna Pigion books which are great

[ryan1835]

it was louis theroux call of the weird


good read

[Mercury]

I'm reading a book by Andy McDermott called "The Covenant of Genesis".  It's a standard action suspense novel involving an ancient civilization that threatens to blow the doors off all the major religions in the modern world, and the Covenant are a group of religious fanatics from all three major Abrahamic faiths that destroy all sites and kill anyone who sees anything involving it.  Pretty sweet so far.

I've just finished reading " Between a Rock and a Hard Place " by Aron Ralston .Now a film called 127 hours . Its about the guy who cut his own arm off after becoming trapped for five days by a boulder down a slot Canyon in the middle of nowhere .

A very good read and the film is one to watch as well .

I love books and have a huge pile to wade through . Trouble is they are cheap and are everywhere and I buy them quicker then I read them  I like old local history books and also ones about the sea and all the funny goings on along the coast a couple of Hundred years ago    I can really get lost in a book .

Solar Walls... A book about reneweable energy, and pasive heating. Thinking to make a Trombe wall in my house... just to try to cut the costs on heating (they are killing me), and save some money for nice MT's and gear... 

[rlocock]

At Home: A short history of private life by Bill Bryson.Not like other Bryson books I have read,but a very good read where he covers historical facts about many unrelated things from garden lawns to grave robbing.

[Sazabi]

I'm currently halfway through The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest; it's looking to be very good.

[Singh]

Most of my attention is on, Ordeal By Fire: The Civil War and Reconstruction (it is long and hard, oh like the actual war )

http://www.amazon.com/Ordeal-Fire-Civil-War-Reconstruction/dp/0073385557/ref=dp_ob_title_bk

[jerseydevil]

I'm about halfway through Landscape Turned Red by Stephen W. Sears, about the Battle of Antietam. The upcoming 150th anniversary has gotten me on a Civil War kick lately.
