Re: Whats everyone reading?
Almost done reading Labyrinth by Kate Mosse. Quite interesting book, once I start it, it's hard to put down, but it's my travel read so I am savouring it for a journey back to my place in Barcelona:) Didn't take any other books with me, will have to browse through the local library while I'm here.

Still struggling through samuel pepys diary... Love history, but this wasnt written as a story or study, so its hard to take it all in.
Got 'the teachings of don juan' by carlos castaneda to read next. Which is a totally different genre from my recent reads, and looks to be about hallucinogenics and philosophy.

The Passage by Justin Cronin.
Holy FUCK is this an intense book.
I read a ton but this one has me really under its spell in a big way.
Its a post appocoliptic scifi-thriller-horror-adventure.
Do not wait for Hollywood to ruin it with a poor movie, run out and get it now; trust me a more fun summer read you will not find!

Sarah's Key.
I seem drawn over and over again to books related to the hollocaust.
Also reading The Tiger, true story of a man eating Siberian tiger.
Both are great books.

Not a bio , it's him revisiting some of the people he has featured in his doc's over the years & seeing how they/their lives have changed , if atall . It came out in 2006 I think & covers the 10 or so years before thatCisco wrote:Any good ? What is it biography type thing ?ftcarer wrote:The Call of the Weird - Louis Theroux
