Posted: 2/14/2006 8:12:09 PM | Lance Armstrong's "It's Not About the Bike". I don't read many autobiographies but this one was quite good.
I started James Frey's "A Million Little Pieces" but the controversy has turned me off so it's sitting on my coffee table about 1/4 read. | |

Posted: 2/14/2006 10:10:09 PM | Outside of professional papers & research, I can't honestly say that I've "read" anything since I was in high school. However, I just found out about a russian novelist, Sergel Lukianenko, who's Night Watch Trilogy will be published in english in the late summer of this year.
I actually have it written down in my PDA in September to look for this. Who knows, perhaps it will make me feel literate again...

Posted: 2/18/2006 6:12:52 AM | '11 minutes' by Paulo Coelho... I love reading about strong women. Maybe it helps me in a way, to stay strong.
It was even better, because a friend suggested it's got a bad ending, and I was set for it ending up really bad and was wonderfully surprised by the opposite.. :-)
It's about everything you need really, ambitions, dreams, love, sex... It's beautiful. If you have problems following your dreams, read it. 
Still, I don't think I'll manage any other book by Coelho, tried... and gave up.  | |

Posted: 2/18/2006 7:35:27 AM | recently finished The Life of Pi by Yann Martel...excellent book, couldn't put it down, always had to find out what would happen next...leaves you wondering what was fact and what was fiction....
recently finished Cry, the Beloved Country by Alan Paton, beautifully written and heartbreaking...
have to agree about Clive Barker's Coldheart Canyon, i read that about a year ago and it is classic Barker, freaky, twisted and erotic, one of his best in a long time... | |

Posted: 4/15/2006 5:58:19 AM | | I'm finishing Russka by Edward Rutherfurd right now. The best work of modern popular fiction I've read was the First Man In Rome series by Colleen McCullough. It was rather nice to read something that required an extensive vocabulary, was historically accurate for the most part, and had a great story line and characters. | |

Posted: 4/15/2006 6:43:30 AM | "I noticed no one had said DaVinci Code - Dan Brown
Has anyone read it?? Was it any good? I figured any book that needs a follow up book to explain it is probably out of my league. And there are apparently no pictures!!"
I read it, and loved it.
Finished Deception Point recently and liked that too. I enjoy Dan Brown's style of writing.
Also a big James Patterson fan.
And almost thru a book called Breaking the Money Barriers by Dr. Michael Duckett, which is awesome... it combines spiritual principles with just sound advice for attracting and managing money. | |
