Greens Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 Currently reading this, finding it quite hard to get into but will persevere. C/S the Alchemist over hyped analysis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody read any Jay McInerney? Story of my life is probably his best one. A lot of eighties, drug taking, american yuppies. Same sort of vein as Easton Ellis.

Project Mayhem Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 Lol I keep coming into this thread and throwing random titles around. Two words (names?) Khaled Hosseini!

easy.pee.zee Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 George Jonas vengance i a total book work read aholic and had this but for a long time... it the auto biog of a Isreali assassin called up by the isreali government to assassinate palistinian terrorists who killed 11 isreali athletes at the 76 munich games terrorists i do not like to describe them as due to the fact of what was sanctioned by the Isreali government was legalised terrorism and books that are very biased get my back up for example throughout the book the athletes are always described as murdered but the palestinian victms are killed -you dont really get a clear view of the importance around the history of the enemies or political side the major issues seem skirted over with little dialogue whilst the tediously boring relationship between a early love doesnt belong anywhere but drones on ...the book self centered and just a bit to smug for me it leads you to take his view and doesnt allow you to gather through and come to your own personal conclusion the only saving grace is the far too brief amazingly inspiring retelling of what the german government army mps people did to bring about negotiations ....the germans awe inspiring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rippy Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 Girl with the Dragon Tattoo was pretty good. I heard the film is quite decent, too? Might d/l that for tomorrow. Currently breezing through Bukowski's material. Just finished with 'Ham on Rye'. Haven't read anything fresh in a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojo Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 Just read 'All About Me: Loving a Narcissist' for research to kick off a project. The author is a bit of a fass who appears pissed at women that overlooked him for 'bad boys' for the first couple of chapters but it gets interesting when he gets into the psychology behind narcissism, how it affects relationships and how it's encouraged in our society. It's a recent book so it references recent events and current public figures, was a good read and I caught some jokes from the case studies of some women. Some of the bruddas featured in this book are exerting some next control, (hold tight the brudda who convinced his Jewish gf that it made sense for her to cook him sausages). Someone recommend me a light hearted book to read please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
