Is the book good? One of those ones I've never got round to reading.

Hande hoche!

Moscow December 25 1991: The last day of the Soviet Union.
Fairly good read so far, never realised how much Gorbachev and Yeltsin disliked each other.

One of my favourite books I've read in recent years...really loved it.

Now reading 'Is that it' - Bob Geldof's autobiography, pretty good.

The Ice Storm by Rick Moody. I saw the movie late one night a few years ago and enjoyed it a lot.

What?! No way! What didn't you like about it? I thought it was one of the best reads I've had in a long time.

i just found it dragged, it was good for the last twenty pages or so but that was the highlight. It just didn't grip me at all.
I finished Sister, stayed up til 2.30am on Tuesday night, it was unputdownable!
I started Anthony Trollops autobiography before Xmas but put it aside because of exams, I must pick it up again soon.

It took me a while to get into too--the main character's voice is a tough one. But I loved it when I got into it. Ah well. Different horses and all that.

One few over the cuckoos nest is just superb! Couldn't recommend it any stronger.

Is that it is a good read too. At times it's a bit anti Irish (seen as anti catholic), but parts are funny! Very enjoyable autobiography!

Finished The Big Nowhere by James Ellroy last week. Very good gritty crime novel. Seriously messed up and seedy, just like you want. I read The Black Dahlia a while back which was very good also. I'm 50/50 on reading LA Confidential next as I already know the plot from the film. I'll probably give it a go though.
Went for The Satanic Verses after. Very well written and not deserving of the hate it garnered from certain corners.
Reread Candide yesterday because I just felt like it. "When a man is in love, is jealous, and has been flogged by the Inquisition, he does the most surprising things."
Currently reading The Spy Who Came in from the Cold by John Le Carre. The first novel of his I'll have read. I'm only a little bit in but liking his style. There's a strong sense of character and tension. The film Tinker Tailor turned me on to Le Carre. If I like this enough I'll definitely keep going with the rest of his stuff, in time of course.

I have two new books to read, which should I start first?

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas by Hunter S. Thompson or A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson?

RiseToTheTop

Sound and Fury.

It tells the story of Howard Cosell and Muhammad Ali, as well as how they entangled with each other.

Fear and Loeathing FTW. Read it about 4 times now and it never gets old. Hunter S Thompson is a great writer.
Currently, I'm about to start reading Carrie Fisher's autobiography "Wishful Drinking".

Just ordered Peter Ustinovs autobiography, he is funny as ... in interviews, soooo looking forward to reading it.

Until I get it, I'm re-reading The Stand by Stephen King, one of the bigges page turners I have EVER read!

Fear and Loathing is great although I haven't read A Walk in the Woods.

I love the LA Quartet, Ellroy's great at that style. I thought the Big Nowhere was the best one but LA Confidential is great too. I thought the last one, White Jazz, wasn't as good as the rest of them.
