Vin+ 3,121 Posted December 30, 2011 Gardens of the Moon - Steven Erikson Currently rereading this. Hopefully I can read the whole series now instead of only making it through the first book. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zack_of_Steel+ 3,014 Posted December 30, 2011 The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo - Stieg Larsson Girlfriend bought me the book because I had mentioned wanting to read the series before seeing the movies. Pretty good so far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BwareDWare94 723 Posted December 30, 2011 Just read Tomcat in Love by Tim O'Brien. What a book. Tim O'Brien has the insane ability to make you love and hate his characters at the same time, which makes them feel like real people. Right now, I'm simultaneously reading Thoreau's Walden and Northern Lights by Tim O'Brien. If you haven't read Tim O'Brien, you must. He is the best American author in the last 20-30 years, in my opinion. I mean, say you like Stephen King...Tim O'Brien uses the pages of It (probably King's best work, as a whole) to wipe his ass.

Guest Phailadelphia Posted May 2, 2012 Just finished reading 13 Bankers. I admittedly only read it because I had to write a paper over it, but it turned out to be a pretty good read. It details the financial sector's role in the economic collapse (as in, they're almost entirely at fault). Interesting stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BwareDWare94 723 Posted May 6, 2012 The Road by Cormac McCarthy. It's very good so far, but I'm not seeing its Pulitzer Prize yet, which is too bad. The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold.

Steelrain43 27 Posted June 17, 2012 I will recommend a sports book that i have already read--bill walsh building a champion..not a 49ers fan, but that book, especially the chapters in the care and feeding of quaterbacks was eye opening... as is his explaination of the creation of the west coast offense, and how to run it... and because of that man. and his visions--the ripple effects of him, invented a defense by design to counteract the quick reads needed for this style--dick lebeaus 3/4 zone blitz scheme was designed to counteract the west coast style.... so even though it was years ago--how many teams runa system built off west coast ideas, or a pure one?..there are many my friend, and all use some concepts at times part time..some teams are 100% in on it. so it may be about the 49ers, and years ago--but it is still relavent today, all the ideas he brought and the counter ideas sprung up from this one man.... bill walsh may be gone, but his stamp is all over the NFL in some way.great boook...even for non 49er fans.

Vin+ 3,121 Posted June 24, 2012 Deadhouse Gates by Steven Erikson At the rate this is going, it's going to take me til like 2015 to read the remaining 9 (well, 8 3/4 at this point) books in the series. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vin+ 3,121 Posted July 18, 2012 Deadhouse Gates by Steven Erikson You know, some of you reading a Song of Ice and Fire might like this series. It's a little higher fantasy than Martin's stuff, I think, but there's similar content. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BwareDWare94 723 Posted July 19, 2012 Working on several books right now. Under the Lake by Stuart Woods. So far, it's mesmerizing. Snow Falling on Cedars by David Guterson. This is extremely literary, beyond well written. This guy has some real talent, but it's a very dense novel so I have to take breaks from it with simpler stuff like Woods' novel and the next two on this list. The Redbreast by Jo Nesbø. An excellent piece of Norwegian Crime Fiction. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by J.K. Rowling. Doing my annual summer to fall re-read of the only series of books to truly change my life.

oochymp 2,393 Posted July 19, 2012 it's summer, so I finally actually have some time to read, I finished The Fifth Witness by Michael Connelly (the fourth book in the Lincoln Lawyer series) great courtroom drama, if anyone's interested in courtroom or crime drama Connelly's great, and they're quick reads right now I'm reading Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter by Seth Grahame-Smith, I'd wanted to read the book for a while and decided to read it before I saw the movie, I'm about halfway through, it's an interesting interpretation of history and absolutely hilarious Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
