Books or "What are you reading?"

[TrickyDik]

Basicly as the title reads. Tell us what you are reading, just finished reading, just started reading, been meaning to read...

I'll start.

I just finished a book entitled "Lone Survivor: The Eyewitness Account of Operation Redwing and the Lost Heroes of SEAL Team 10 (http://amazon.com/o/ASIN/0316067598/ref=s9_asin_image_1-1966_p/104-2624873-6539907?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=0NPENTCKWKAQ55TQ5M1K&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=279530701&pf_rd_i=507846)".

The book was amazing. It shows the true courage of the American Military and shows an in-depth view on Navy SEAL training from start to finish. Most importantly it tells the heroic actions of SEAL team 10 against Taliban and al Qaeda forces in Afghanistan.

Next up: Angels of Death which is a book written about the Hells Angels.

(if you can't tell I read Non-Fiction books only, true accounts of history in the Military, Law Enforcement, and Public Safety mainly)

I guess no one reads here ~rotfl~!

I just finished a book called "Red Zone" by Mike Lupica. Awesome sports writer by the way.

This book was basically a sequel to "Bump and Run", but you don't have to read "Bump and Run" first. Both books based on football, gambling, money, hard-hitting, sex, etc. Awesome reads, good fiction if you're looking for sports fiction.

I just got "The Assault on Reason" the other day.

I am reading "Advanced Programming in Drupal" :) non-fiction too. In paralel I am also slowly reading Russian book "Diagnosis of the Karma". I have a huge to-read list of non-fiction. I realised that perhaps I'll only have time to read fiction books when I retire.

i actually attempted to read angels and demons after that but was not successful in getting past the first few pages

[unsakred]

I was told to get that book, as it is better than the da vinci code. I have not yet made an attempt.

3 years worth of back issues of Grassroots Motorsports. I um nod smrt enuf fer buks.

I'm now on to a book called "My men are my heros" about a potential medal of honor winner (in my mind) who was shot 7 times and had 45 pieces of shrapnel in him during the fight for Falujah Iraq. Lost a lot of good men under him and was nearly killed himself. Good book so far.

i call BS big time lol

[TrickyDik]

I really am tired of hearding about that little piece of crap. Kids should be reading the books I'm reading. It'll probably give them nightmares but it'll give them real life people to have as role models and heros.

I'd like to stick one of those flying brooms up where the sun don't shine on harry potter.

I'm reading some lightweight money management book called "The New Rules of Money" that my mortgage broker gave us at our recent house closing. :lol: .. The writing style is kind of lame but some of the tips are good, and it puts me to sleep at night. :shrug:

The last couple books I read were Bill O'Reillys previous book ["Who's Looking Out..."] and "A Civil Action"..

A guy I work with has been telling me about "The World Is Flat" by Thomas Friedman. Sounds kinda interesting.

That's all I got.

if so, i'm reading "a thousand splendid suns" by the same author and it's a pretty darn good book i think

[TrickyDik]

Should be required reading, of both.

They are now both on my wish list however if anyone has them and doesn't mind me borrowing them then I'd like to, let me know.

[doylfish]

i can get you "A Thousand Splendid Suns" tricky, but i'd recommend "Kite Runner" first, it was my more favorite book out of the two

[doylfish]

...which is why it's weird that i don't own "Kite Runner", but i own "A Thousand Splendid Suns" lol
