Chasm City by Alastair Reynolds. one of the best sci-fi book i've read for years. Recommended to anyone, it's mind-boggling, fucking insane, and cool as hell. i think you can read it here

Just finished 2 books, 1st was Mr Nice by Howard Marks... no definition needed... and the second was Catch a Fire by Timothy White which tells of the life story of a one Robert Nesta Marley, great insight into his life ... next will be a book on Jeruselum......

Been on a Christopher Brookmyre marathon lately (Thanks to Angry Pirate ) Reading his A snow ball in hell just now ! think your own Big Brother where you get all the celebs etc that bug the shit out you or have talked/printed shit about you and get to do what you want to them ? The dude is an international hit man wanted by all its pretty black humour but good so far

I am reading LIFE by Keith Richards and enjoying it quite a bit. As I am reading it, its fun to learn Stones songs as they progress from early to late Stones in the book. This is a book I suspect fans of rock and/or drugs would appreciate.

Recently read EARTH: The Book by Jon Stewart and the crew of the Daily Show ... if your hip to Global Climate Change and enjoy satire you will like this book.

I am about halfway through Hope on a Tightrope by Cornel West, very interesting non-mainstream perspectives but I was somewhat surprised that Mr. West's gentle and loving persona did not seem to carry over into his writing.

The pocket book which accompanies me everywhere is The Tao Te Ching by the great Lao Tzu, a book I would recommend to EVERYONE

Just finished "LSD : My Problem Child" by Albert Hofmann. Fantastic read. The guy should have won the Nobel Prize many times over. Last week I finished "The Emperor Wears No Clothes" by Jack Herer. Also a great read. Some very interesting and valid points made about the legal status of MaryJane. I recommend them both highly. I rather enjoy my drug literature.

Its good.

Thats the one, grew up near epsom racecourse and started out as a bookie

I don't know how to feel as I post this. You see, I firmly believe in books. The physical form, turning pages, the blurb, reading at yer own pace, getting completely engrossed in the pages.....
...yesterday, I downloaded an Audio Book for my I-pod But that ain't the most embarrassing part....I actually enjoyed it

Just finished For Who The Bell Tolls by Ernest Hemingway. I right rollicking read, a real 'page turner' if you know what I mean Twichaldinho

just finished "Where Men Win Glory" the book about "Patrick Tillman" written by Jon Krakaur. Absolutely amazing and revealing about alot of shit that goes on in the U.S military.
