Just finished Ring by Koji Suzuki, A Theft by Saul Bellow, and Reunion by Alan Lightman in the last week.
Ok, so I'm a nerd.

Yeah, I'm enjoying it; but I don't think it's the best book in the series. Would probably be in my top 3 though.Dizzy_69 wrote:Any good?Bombers4Premiers wrote:Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

Actually I remember when there was a thread on the old BomberTalk about a nation wide poll of Australia's favourite books conducted by the ABC and you expressed great surprise that Umberto Eco wasn't in the Top 10. Was that genuine surprise or did you just want us all to know that you read Umberto Eco?

don't really remember what you're referring to, but I suspect it'd have been a bit of both.AnarchicBomber wrote:Congrats

The complete casebook of Sherlock Holmes - Sir Arthur Conan Doyle - again. It's a fantastic read, but it's a bitch to cart around.

Wouldnt mind reading the The Jigsaw Man, how is it??(to those who have it) I have some other book by sheedy. Not the thickest thing ever i have to say. I think its called "follow your dreams" or something like that.
At the moment I have just finished Dead Bolt by Glenn Manton his autobiography. GREAT BOOK and also has many messages in it to not just about him. He was at my school doing a speech to my year level. (year 12) Got every laughing the whole time and sent a good message out about setting goals and the like. His book is great and worth a read. One I highly recommend. Think I remember him promoting it on footy show a while back. Anyone else read it?

Just finished the Jigsaw man. Great read with plenty of anecdotes about the legend that is K. Sheedy.
Sheedy admirers will love it, but plenty of ammo for the anti-Sheeds people too.
Brought back some memories too. Completely forgot about the Hawthorn 'drug' scandal back in the 80's.

The Lions Game, by Nelson DeMille
Posted: Thu Sep 21, 2006 3:38 pm
Betrayed by Brendan DuBois, its based around POWs from the Vietnam War and is riveting reading.

It's good but typically dense. Delillo is my favourite author but he's definitely improved with the passage of time though I fear Underworld was his peak. My favourite Delillo novel is Libra. White Noise is fantastic too.Paul18 wrote:"The Names - Don Delillo"

I loved The Plot against America. I don't wanna give anything away but the passage where his mate (Sheldon I think his name was) is home alone, for reasons which will become obvious, I found really harrowing from the little boys point of view and inspiring from Phil's mum's point of view. If you haven'r read anything else by Roth try American Pastoral.

Pride and Prejudice to complement my viewing of the BBC DVD version.

Only reading journal articles at the moment, but definitely want to have a read of the Watson book sometime soon.
