I really enjoyed that one. new_thumbsupsmileyanim.gif

 

The sequels, not so much. new_thumbsdownsmileyanim.gif

Ditto that. The last one (Brother Odd) was pretty meh, smilies-8579.png

 

Thanks for the advice guys, I'll enjoy this and probably steer clear of the sequels new_thumbsupsmileyanim.gif

I'd heard good things about this one so I picked it up. Anyone else read it?

I went through my box of unread books and found a novel titled "Snow Falling On Cedars". I think they made a movie of this not too long ago. I can't think of the author's name for the life of me  confused13.gif

David Guterson

Thanks buddy! trink39.gif

Good book. A nice book to follow that one would be "House of Sand and Fog" by Andre Dubus III.

I've seen a movie titled "House of Sand and Fog", and wasn't too thrilled with it. Are we talking about the same thing??

 

Thanks for the recommendation! trink39.gif

I am rereading all of the Harry Potter books before Deathly Hallows comes out in July.

Hmmm...that's a thought.

Not a word, Cap'n. tongue.gif

I'll be doing that as well about 3 weeks prior to release.

 

But now I'm actually about to my first re-read of Inside Out

I just started reading "For One More Day" by Mitch Albom. I' m very early into it but it is really relevant to me so far.

This is my current read.

If I didn't have to work... then I would not put this book down (I don't bring it with me to work, to many interruptions)

When I finish it up.. I'll put a review up smile.gif

I had a tear in my eye at the end ph34r.gif

 

I thought there'd be a twist damnit.

 

Koontz just has that knack of touching you with his characters and this was no exception. The quickest I've read a book in a long time, although it was fairly short biggrin.gif

Isn't that book short for King's usual writing?

 

Yeah it's a lot shorter than the last couple in the series.

I'm reading Red Dragon by Thomas Harris (1st book in Hannibal series)

Perhaps the best of the bunch, even above "Silence of the Lambs." The movie, too.

I'm still trying to decide if I want to read Hannibal Rising...I keep thumbing through it at the bookstore...

 

I've all the others, but Hannibal was almost too much.

Guy Sajer - The Forgotten Soldier

A diary/book by a young german soldier who fought at the East front. Some heavy stuff!

 

I read that when I was about 16 ohmy.gif

 

I think that's the one where he's with the elite Grossdeutschland Regiment?

 

Very good book, I've always been interested to hear things from the German viewpoint, especially on the Russian Front.

 

I used to enjoy the Sven Hassel novels...very very graphic with no holds barred, they don't glorify warfare but just tell of the horrors of war and the Nazi regime. I would reccomend them as long as you don't mind the constant swearing and occasional whoring ph34r.gif
