Weapon X Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 What’s up? I hope this isn’t too soon for you guys. Tell us what you’re reading right now. I’ve picked up the Seduced By Hitler book again (I think I mentioned it in one of these threads a whiiile back). It’s really good. My buddy is lucky to have bought it for only six dollars in the discount bin at Chapters. I’m awaiting for another buddy of mine to lend me another Ken Follett book. This one being “Eye of the Needle”. The book that I currently have out from the library is called “The Game I’ll Never Forget”. It has the stories of 100 different NHL stars from past and present talk about the one game that they will never forget, hence the title. Let’s take a poll…how many kids are reading Chuck Palahniuk (sp) and Irvine Welsh in here. I don’t think I’ll read anything of theirs, ever, because of the amount of play they get on 12oz.

Guest Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 Ken Follett has some great works. I'm reading 'warrior of zen' which is some ancient samuari turned monks life teachings. it's a slow read. very slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
