Books you've read or are reading

Just finished it the other day. To be honest I was expecting more.

 

World War Z so much better than the movie.

Also The Atlantis code, The Lucifer Code and the temple moumy code trilogy by Charles brokaw. Excellent books.

 

Reading two books just now. One is by Max Hastings and is called 'The Battle For The Falklands' and the other is Fergie's autobiography. Both are a bit * to read.

 

Trying to start again with this oldie from 1983. Can't stay away Apocalyptic stories.

 

Moody: The life and crimes of Britain's most notorious hitman.



Was alright nothing really new in it.

 

Biography of Charlie Wilson.

 

Finished a History of Wales by John Davies over the holidays.

 

Craig Bellamy's autobiography and the David Thorne book.

If people don't know him, it's the graphic designer who basically just takes the * out of people.

Here's his website with an example, read a few of them, it's genuinely funny as *

Just finished reading Diarios de motocicleta by Ernesto Guevara. Reading The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Thought the film was excellent and it's a classic so my expectations are quite high.

Got Long Walk to Freedom (Madiba's autobiography) for Christmas so I'll maybe get started on that as well.

 

I've read The Dice Man. It's an entirely different genre but I'd highly recommend it. Bought it in HMV actually so it must be a bit of a modern classic or a cult book.

 

Went back to reading The Hobbit,after watching the first movie last week with number 1 child,he has said he wants to read it too.
Think I last read it when I was about 15.

 

went into Waterstones a couple of weeks ago and this book was nearly £40



So got it second hand on Amazon for £8 instead- read the first two chapters and it's brilliant. The way the so called sophisticated Europeans treated the natives in south and north America is sickening, spreading there enlightenment to the "savages" by chopping there hands off and letting them bleed to death and there's even an account of Spanish explorers beheading children natives just for fun

And then reading of the conditions the Africans were kept in traveling to America, horrible.

 

Just got a mention in Good Will Hunting.

 

Always ment to watch that film.

 

Did you read it Spanish or the English version?

 

I got it for £20 in Waterstones on Argyle St,quite dear but I thought it was worth it.

 

Karl Pilkington's The Further Adventures of an Idiot Abroad.

It's hilarious. I find myself reading in with his voice in my head!

I can't read fiction, hate it, so books like this and Fergie's autobiography really appeal to me.

 

Spanish.

 

So had I. Watched it last night. Best film I've ever seen, without a shadow of a doubt.
