Read any good books lately?

El Jefe · Mar 25, 2014

I have been tearing up the classic novels in my library lately. "Wuthering Heights"=work of genius. How did I go 20yrs without it? Also read "crime & punishment", "don quixote", "catch-22" (one of my favs, read it a few times), & "love in the time of cholera"

Been reading "Anna karenina". My first Tolstoy and it is excellent.

Got any good suggestions??

im finishing reading .. INSIDE by Michael Santos. Its freaking crazy insane brilliant inside storys about living and describing what its like inside the USA state Penitentiary's. The storys about gangtas motherfuckers and how the system creates these sick worlds is mind blowing. The characters the author describes are very colorful and disturbing. This book I could not put down it was very engaging and well written . THe author was in on a 45 year felony sentence for cocaine trafficking and tells how he was able to survive in a very neutral but honest voice. yall gots to read this motherfucka. its not for pussyassbitches 4 sure.

Gateway by Pohl is a short and exciting sci fi book. I do not like a lot of science fiction but this one reads like a thriller. From 1977 so you can get if for cheap.

Am reading Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, a true story of a Green Beret in Vietnam, in the Special Operations Group. Behind the lines operations in Cambodia, Laos. Written by the man himself, it is amazing he is alive to tell the tale.

I'm currently rereading the Dark Tower Series by Stephen King, and yes there are crossovers with Hearts in Atlantis and Salem's Lot . . . maybe more, but I can't recall any off the top of my head.

Mr nice - Howard marks
Silent scream - Charles Bronson
The jump- Martina Cole - for that matter anything she's done is OK
Donald goins wrote a lot of good books as well

Failing that the art of war by sun tzu is deffo one to read before you die!
(Try and find a copy with the denma translations though as its about 100 pages without them and its quite difficult to read otherwise!)

Stop the world I need to get off- Dave Courtney
Raving lunacy - Dave Courtney

Also there's a load of good free classic books on the kindle app lots of Dickens and Bronte as well all free!!!

I know this seems a lot but I go fishing most weekend s so its all bank time and travel fodder
