FruityLexia. Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Some great books posted on this page. I read pygmy about two weeks ago on a bus trip to my friends home province. It's pretty great, also snuff was good too by Palahniuk. Now I'm on this. great writer but this is a little drawn out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuco Salamanca Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 great read so far. a regular white collar dude gets killed in el paso, his brother is high ranking in the DEA, and it goes into to detail to how his death is related to the juarez cartel. like something out of breaking bad, but true.

morton Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Just finished blink, The Power of Thinking Without Thinking by Malcolm Gladwell. Good read. Recently finished The Assassination of Fred Hampton: How the FBI and the Chicago Police Murdered a Black Panther by Jeffry Hass. Should be required reading for U.S. History in high school.

Fist 666 Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 just finished THE WAYWARD BUS by steinbeck. was awesome. i have been having extreme insomnia since being back from deployment and my attention span is terrible. i have a lot of difficulty focusing on things for more than 15 or 20 minutes. this book took almost two months to complete. its very frustrating to feel incapable of finishing a chapter or a book.

Crocodile Tears Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 i had insomnia for 2 years. pure horror. try breathing techniques, i swear like Mr. Myagi. it works, clears your head, or keep starting over till it does clear your head- 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crocodile Tears Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 to reiterate, insomnia is the fucking worst. fight club, "you're never quite fully awake and you're never quite fully asleep" like trapped in a limbo. "everything is a copy of a copy of a copy" good luck man have faith it will clear up and it will. panicing/concentrating will only make it worse. positive thought really works when youre in a bind like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLICKCLACKONER Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 I just watched fight club (since it came out on DVD) and that shit was kinda annoying. I was so into it 10years ago though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
