tipping point was pretty interesting...

I would try the blind side, pretty nice, we even had the author do a speaker series here on campus at UT

Gravedigging, this is a good thread.

I'm in the middle of reading the Tipping Point, very good book. Next up is: Dave Chappelle & The Devil andMan Child in the Promised Land by Claude Brown

Water For Elephants

Nothing prolific or life changing, just a darn good read.

e khoa lity: You still have my copy!

I saw this and was intrigued but didn't pick it up because I already had the Chomsky books in my hand.

just read not too long ago:
Kindred
Diablerie: A Novel
both of these were recommended by superduperkya and i was surprised they were actually good

Kindred's a pretty interesting book, read it freshamn year. I'm really gonna try to read a ton of books this summer because I'll have the time,I've really been lacking the last few years because reading for school has taken away that leisure aspect for me

I hatttttttttted Brave New World. Just not my thing I guess. Although I love 1984 so far. I'm so intrigued by The Road that I might just buyit and read it after I finish 1984. Falling back in love with literature FTW.

Night by Elie Wiezel and A Prayer for Owen Meany

 

[curt2121]

just finished "The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down". Any NTer planning any kind of future in health care should read it. Also, any Hmongs on NTshould probably read it. Gripping book.

i can't read books more than once. the fact that i know what happens makes me lose any motivation to continue reading.

Do you consider it a left wing, right wing or unbiased book?

I'll be picking this one up soon.

Read it Junior year. It's an easy read mostly because it's written like a movie script.
I've got 30 pages left of 1984 which I'll probably finish tonight and then moving onto Fahrenheit 451 tomorrow.
It's kinda sad, yet funny that I've read more since Thursday than I have all year and I'm an English major.
