So what books are everyone reading and recommend for the rest of the crew?

Currently I am reading:

Junky by William S. Burroughs

The Face by Dean Koontz


Last book i finished was:

Perfume by Patrik Suskind

Also I been reading Hemingway's For Whom The Bell Tolls forever now... the weird style of english the main characters speak is what makes me drag from finishing it...

That is the only Hemingway that I have read......when I was a teen. Really liked the plain speak of the book.

Always meant to try another; but, never have.

For Glass, I would recommend "To Run With the Horesmen."

For Mach, "How to Win Friends and Influence People." [Big Grin]

A lot of you could use "Common Sense" by Glen Beck.

Funny how many liberals agree with it until they find out who the author is.

It isn't so much that liberals are ignorant. It's just that they know so many things that aren't so.

Once upon a time Pilgrims Progress was a great read in American schools. A lot more positive than the "jane has two daddys" books or whatever you call it.

ECOSHAMANISM.. James Endredy

Just started it and it is a great read so far.

He has studied all over the world for 25 years with different Shaman and the connection of mind, body, and soul with the earth. It ties sustainable living practices and ecological awareness by incorporating shamanism with it.
If you love mother earth and enjoy her peace that she can bring, this is a great book!

Cheers!
