I've started the big fat history book on the Fall of Berlin by Anthony Beevor. Excellent if you like history, well written (easy to read) and packed with first hand accounts storys, really brings the subject to life.

Have been reading Dune now for over a month... i have readers block!

PurpleFistMixer · 28-05-2005 11:30PM

I've been devouring books lately. Over the last week or so I've read Penny Dreadful and Hell's Half Acre by Will Christopher Baer (well, was just finishing PD), The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky and am now reading Neuromancer by William Gibson. Hurray for reasons to avoid studying!

Keep going - it is worth the struggle. I first tried to read it when I was 7, did not suceed until I was 12, have read it several times since (including all the prequels, etc).

Read: Jane Lapotaire - Time Out of Mind
This is about surviving a brain haemorrage
Mick Doyle - Zero Point One Six: Living in Extra Time
This is also about surviving a brain haemorrage - of the two books, I found this to be the better one. Having a relative who has suffered from this condition I found that reading these biolgraphies was helpful in understanding what was happening - the medical books can only give you so much information.

grimloch · 29-05-2005 06:27PM

Remember first reading that book on my 30 minus nine month birthday...good book.

Reading 'Phantoms' by Dean R. Koontz. Have to say it is a very engaging story so far. His writing style is great, and he can certainly build a creepy athmosphere with this one!

This week, I are mostly reading....
