Available from Wally World.com

 

Thanks.. Amazon has the paperback for 10bux too. I don't buy at walmart if I can help it. But that's OT. So .. have you read it?

 

Kodo, Another for your list. Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts

http://www.google.com/search?as_q=&num=20&hl=en&ie=ISO-8859-1&btnG=Google+Search&as_epq=shantaram&as_oq=&as_eq=&lr=lang_en&as_ft=i&as_filetype=&as_qdr=all&as_nlo=&as_nhi=&as_occt=any&as_dt=i&as_sitesearch=&safe=images

"The Author was once Australia's most wanted man. Now he has written Australia's most wanted novel."

936 pages and I couldn't put it down. I believe it will be made into a film. The Author is writing a prequel that details his life, before being committed to 19 years imprisonment for carrying out a series of robberies. Read the flyleaves for the story of Shantaram. " Set up free medical clinic in Bombay, couterfeiter, smuggler, gunrunner, and street soldier for one .... of the branches of the Bombay mafia." I think you'll love it. Bazza

Thanks Baz.. but it doesn't look interesting to me.

 

Sorry mate. It is a good read. Bazza

I'm really into Dean Koontz stuff right now...on my fourth book. Great if you like your mind bending a little.

 

I'm not much of a book reader.. books generally can't keep my attention because in the background I hear.. "1's and 0's" eminating from my computers.. I'm a computer addict. So much more stimulation. Any way.. I do most of my reading online about technology and science etc.

soo.. have YOU read the book?

 

Lev, have you ever read H.P. Lovecraft? Bigbazza, if I can find the book at the library I'll check it out (sounds good).

 

No I haven't Mike. Any particular titles you would recommend?

 

He wrote a lot of short stories; I found all of it fascinating. He created a fictional ancient religion (the "Cthulhu" Mythos) which is found throughout his writings (some people believe it's a real religion, he was so convincing- ever heard of the "Necronomicon"?) Anyway, if you Google "h p lovecraft", you can read a sample (book results has "Call of Cthulhu and Other Weird Stories"). If you like Gothic, check him out!

 

I just read prey by michael chriton (spelling) and he is an excent author. I have read all his books.

 

I hear that, Colemanguy- how did you like "Eaters of the Dead"? (The movie version- "The 13th Warrior" wasn't too bad, either).

 

I thought it was pretty good.

 

You're right- Chricton (?) is good!
