Mustard Death Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Native Son is very good... only got about 50 pages left, which will be read tonight. After that, it's time for Ken Kesey's One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest... after which I'll be taking a break from reading and watching the movie of the same name, also, The Godfather II.

TheRocinanteKid Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Just picked up Everybody Wants Some - The Van Halen Saga today because I need something to read for while I'm on holiday. Also have to read Much Ado About Nothing and Cold Mountain for college. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distant Early Limelight Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 I'm currently juggling between a couple books... Stephen King's The Waste Lands (Dark Tower Vol. III) Inside Out: The Story of Pink Floyd by Nick Mason and then for my English lit/lang course at college I have to read Anita Shreve's Eden Close.

Ya_Big_Tree Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 I just finished Ghost Rider yesterday. I loved it! Neil has such a unique style and he makes the reader feel like he is sitting with them and telling him his story exclusively. Through his use of personal letters to friends and colleagues we are given a glimpse into his mind durring that difficult period of time for him. I really feel that I see Neil in a much different light then I did when I first started reading it. As someone who has suffered a lot of tragedy in my life, I found that I was able to relate to his heartbreaking tale and also reading about his trails on the healing road made me remember about my own healing road travels. These were memories that I had long since forgotten, so for that gift I will be eternally greatful to this book. I can't wait to read Roadshow and his others.

softfilter Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 QUOTE (TheRocinanteKid @ Oct 19 2007, 10:35 AM) Cold Mountain for college. I thought Cold Mountain was a good read, realistic portrayal certain aspects of the Civil War south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HamiltonYYZ Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 What I'd Say : The Atlantic Story 50 Years Of Music Fantastic reading about Atlantic Records and his founder the great late Ahmet Ertegun. A "little" piece of American music...and has Rush on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why my avatar will never change. This year I got the chance to write to Neil to tell him the impact the book had on my life, and he actually read my letter. That knowledge in itself was a gift to me. I wouldn't be the person I am today if I hadn't had the experience of reading GR, and I'm grateful I had the chance to express those feelings in a very non-fanatical way.

thing Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 I am reading a book called "Blink" by Malcolm Gladwell. The book is about snap judgements, they call it the power of thinking without thinking, assessing situations without analysing. Cool - a quick read.
