I just recently finished a great book by one of my favorites. Rum Diary by Hunter S. Thompson. Good book I must say, it is supposedly loosely based around his life when he did sports journalism in cuba. I am now on to another great book. The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test by Tom Wolfe. EXCELLENT BOOK!! Has to be one of the best reads in awhile. Its a must read!!

Greetings all,

Anhedonia you should start with 'Brave New World' by Huxley - his most well known. That golbal history of narcotics sounds juicy ;-)

In the Mr Nice vein is 'Smokescreen' by, Robert Sabbag. Funny!! lmao!

I can't think of any gangsta titles off the top of my head - I read one recently about a gangsta rapper dude... poignant. :(

This could be good: 'Killing Pablo: The Hunt for the Richest, Most Powerful Criminal in History' by
Mark Bowden. I read Black 'Hawke Down' which he also wrote.

Elmore Leonard's a good read if you are looking for 'hard man' stories, and James Ellroy.

Edward Bunker has kncocked out a couple of good Prison stories that worth a look. Also,

'You Got Nothing Coming: Notes From a Prison Fish' by Jimmy Lerner was quite good.

About to start on the 2nd installment of Jeffrey Archers UK Prison Sojourn - can't help sniggering tbh

I like the sound of this book: Tarmac Warrior: The Violent World of Extreme Fighting by Billy Cribb.

Reading is the mutts biscuit Morganic -
Thank the goddess for public libraries!!!

cheers, bridie

i am currently reading PATRIOT GAMES by Tom Clancy, No I am not an old timer, and no I am not an under 18 kid, I just have never seen the movie (which i think has Harrisson Ford in it) [I could be wrong] but anyways my pops, (nm what i think of him) had me read WITHOUT REMORSE by Clancy and that book kicked ass more than Mario Puzos "The Godfather" (yes... the same book that the movie was based off of) I am a younger generation kid, and I am a Sopranos addict (Except for the 5th season), i guess i just need something to keep me occupied)


as far as the "DaVinci Code" my mother is a librarian and i read the fucking book b4 her, but then again I read it bc I was in a speed reading class in College... but that was the fastest read i have encountered in the past year or 7???? but a great read none-the-less...


i wonder what BOG is reading right now?

Against all Enimies - Richard A. Clarke

reading "The Tao of Physics" by Fritjof Capra.

Very similar to/must have inspired "The Dancing Wu Li Masters" by Gary Zukav, which I also recommend.

The Capra book is slightly more technical but both are well suited to (interested) general readers.

Both books discuss the fascinating similarities between eastern mystical traditions and the seemingly paradoxical world of the new physics.

Also on the Thomas Pynchon tip, I highly recommend his novel "Vineland." A freaky and brilliant romp thru end-of-20th-century pop culture, and mostly set in the "Emerald Triangle" region of northern California to boot.

Maxim - Does it count as reading if I just look at the pictures of the fine women?
