No, Panzer is not on my reading list. I find my books at Goodwill, second hand stores, or flea markets.

damn brandon i meant the russia book.im gonna give you a tittie twister.

Irma Voth (Miriam Toews)

so again,just out of curiosity do you finish a book and then start a new one or do you read them concurrently?

I can read two or even three different genres concurrently, but cannot read even two different of the same type. I cannot read two different tech manuals, or two different spy novels, or two different biographies or autobiographies at the same time, but I could read one of all three and keep them straight. I gotta have a paper book and when I'm not reading it, I am hearing the characters voice and it all runs together to read too many similar at once.

Miriam Toews! She dined out on the success of her first book for the better part of a decade, as I recall. For the Americans on this thread, Toews is a novelist world famous all over Canada for her aforementioned first novel, The Summer of My Amazing Luck.

Edit: A glance at her wikipedia entry reveals she was slightly more productive than I remembered.

He's got an interesting writing style. Not sure how much is real or bull, but a good read. Devoted a full chapter to the making of "Exile on Main Street" almost, due to all the tax trouble they were in at the time too.

@rag: I think I posted that one earlier in this thread. It is a good read and I believed very sincere. It sounds like his voice.

@Bornyo - for sure, it's a very conversational tone, almost as if he were right there with you, shooting the shit, bumming smokes and knocking back the wine all the while.

Oh, saw Prometheus today and right between the trailers and the film there was a short clip from Ang Lee's adaptation of The Life Of Pi. Wonder how it will stack up compared to the book?

I read one at a time.

Just finished The Cellist of Sarajevo by Steven Galloway. He's Canadian!
It's a fictional account of part of the Siege of Sarajevo in 1992. In real life, a mortar attack killed 22 people waiting in line for bread. A local cellist returned to the spot and played Albinoni's Adagio for 22 days.

Couldn't put it down.

'A Year in Provence.' -Peter Mayle

'Not Much Fun' -Dorothy Parker

'Weezy Bat' -Francesca Lia Block (btw it's one of Asa Akira's fave books when she was a teen.)

Barry's lies.

How sweet. You love me.

"The Dead Hand": about the US v. USSR nuclear arms race, the title referring to the Russians automatic retaliatory strike computer.

One Hundred Years of Solitude (Gabriel Garcia Marquez)

The Billionaire's Vinegar: The Mystery of the World's Most Expensive Bottle of Wine by Benjamin Wallace.

Currently: Dr. Zhivago.

The parallels between the Soviet system and modern day, politically-correct America are staggering.

Last read: Perfume, by Patrick Suskind. A bit dry in some parts, but interesting story, nonetheless.

Picked this up used and cheap because the title made me laugh. Turned out to be a pretty fun read.

Kill Shot by Vince Flynn. Typical bad spy writing. I was 15 pages from done and I broke the screen on my knockoff reaer. Packing it in my pocket. I think what happened is I was on a ladder and resting legs against the top step. Pop.

Don't Get Too Comfortable (David Rakoff)

My Cross to Bear- Gregg Allman. It's pretty interesting. I think he talked into a recorder and they transcribed it. He veers off into secondary tangents fairly often. Tear jerking passage when he talks about his last talk with Duane, how the last thing he said to Duane was a lie about coke and how it haunts him to this day. He basically says after Duane died Berry Oakley went into a deep deep depression and that his motorcycle accident was most likely suicide.

A Long Way Down (Nick Hornby)

Gregg Allman on marrying Cher. "It seems like a good idea. She's a good old gal". He's my new hero.

Half Empty (David Rakoff)
For “I Feel Dirty,” he writes about his impressions when attending New York City’s Exotic Erotic Ball and Expo. He talks about Violet Blue and Tera Patrick. Funny, funny stuff.

Canada and Other Matters of Opinion (Rex Murphy)

The Seal Team Six guy who killed UBL. He's a dick.

reminds me of this movie i caught a lil bit of last night on one of the scary movie channels,the trail of the screaming forehead.

Rex Murphy is a very well-liked commentator on CBC tv and radio. Brilliant guy.

I bought that hardcover but haven't started it. I was hoping the govt was going to prosecute him - I believe strongly in freedom of speech, but I love collectibles that can be flipped even more.

how was that able to fleshed out into a whole book?^

My guess is his training and career after the raid are going to fill up quite a bit of the book, as well as a discussion of the planning and execution of the raid. The events of "Blackhawk Down" took place in less than 24 hours, but the book was about 400 pages.

dont think i knew it was a book,even though ive had the dvd since like 02.

Blackhawk Down is a great book. Bowden is one of the great military historians of our age.

I'm about through the UBL book. Probably a third of it is the mission. The writing is much better than a lot of autobios.

Part of me wonders if it's somehow a work.

In the UBL book, the most interesting thing was was the Muersk Alabama saga. Somalis are fucking stupid. I mean, 3/4 retard. Even by Africa standards. I've never taken a hostage, but I've seen my share of Criminal Minds. I'm reasonably sure they were doing it wrong. Stupid.

theyd think better on a full stomach.^

Tri doesn't.

Just started reading this:

The Call of Sedona Journey of the Heart

^^^ You could try writing a book: To Kill A Mockingwhore.

I finished reading this one a little while ago. If you haven't read it yet, by all means do so. You'll thank me later. If you ask me, it should be REQUIRED reading for everyone.

The Biology of Belief

Read this one and put its teachings into practice, Jim.

Here's another good one I read.

A must read for anyone, who, like me, is either afflicted with heart disease, or has a family history of it.

Very informative on attacking it through nutrition & changing one's diet & lifestyle.

There are nearly 200 heart healthy recipes too. I've tried a few of them, and even I was surprised how you can easily make things that are both heart healthy, and DELICIOUS.

Like I said, if you suffer from heart disease (AND have a family history of it) as I do, or you are just worried about it, this book is a must:

Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease

Common sense help literature. Maybe he needed it.

Fraud (David Rakoff)

Evel by Leigh Montville. A biography of Evel Knievel.

Post Office (Charles Bukowski)

the new Linda Lovelace book. 17.00, then they wonder why there are lawsuits like crazy against the publishing companies and the Kindle people.
