!@#$% Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 i wasn't into catch 22. stopped reading it. i was sort of disappointed in myself. then i started pride and prejudice. sheesh i don't like that either, i'm starting to think most stuff is going to pale in comparison to tolstoy.

CALIgula Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Casek uploaded this in the Fitness thread. Very cool stories and back history. Plus it's got me motivated. i downloaded this too from the workout thread...along with the grip book and the bruce lee book..but right now im currently reading a kaplan prep book just like andy.

LiliStCynical Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Any of you hear of http://librivox.org/ yet? Not much a fan of books on tape, but you can either listen to or read books in the public domain... kinda cool. Also, rereading Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart at the moment.

LexDiamonds Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 The Tunnels of Cu Chi!!!!! lol It's been a great book so far, It's about the tunnels under the Cu Chi District of the Iron Triangle which the Viet Cong used to fight us in the Vietnam War. 2 fingers up.

geomat Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 I pretty much read Catch-22 once a year, I love it so much. I started reading this. This book is amazing. I enjoy it so far. this knd of reminds me of the the artists way, in a way but a bit harder, hate self help books in general, can't imagine picasso reading books on how to be an artist... but i still read them, i just end up reading everything my girl reads cause i don't bother buying too many books ,yself and i read fast..

Fist 666 Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 the winter of our discontent. each time i read something of steinbeck's i haven't yet read i punch myself for not having done so years ago. about 1/3 in. great, though i have this suspicion that its going to be painfully depressing.

acer910 Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 a classic. thats not the cover i have though, mine was stolen from some library in Coupville a long time ago (the check out date is blacked out with a sharpie) by my father during his harley riding days. so its got tons of sentimental value, hopefully il have a son to pass this book down to.

thecarwreck Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 I'm trying to keep a pace of a book every other day... so far so good. Next: And Caputo's Rumor of War is fucking amazing. Read it as a sheltered undergrad and it blew my mind. Same goes for HST. If you haven't yet, get Tim O'Brien's If I Die in a Combat Zone... and The Things They Carried. So good.
