Ski Mask Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Re: 12oz Book Club :D :D :D I just picked up a book today that I've been wanting to read for awhile. "I Am Legend" by Richard Matheson (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Am_Legend) not the type of thing I usually read, but it sounds intresting.

srebmun Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 I read a great book called The Devil in the White City, nonfiction about a serial killer and the Colombian Exposition, it was a great read: too fucked up to have been invented. Now I'm into this one about this black guy who owned slaves back in the day, it's true to non-fiction history, but sort of fleshed out with dialog and stories and such, its called The Known World.
