I've just finished Mike Tyson- The Undisputed Truth. An extremely bare bones book, talking about his addictions and mental issues, as well as his boxing. Well worth a read.
I love autobiographies, and I find boxers fascinating characters. |

Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound |
The last one was The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August.
I'm reading Look Who's Back by Timur Vermes. It's the satirical novel about Hitler being a YouTube star. He'd have even more to say about current events.

Was lucky to find a signed 1st edition of Wilbur Smith's "Warlock", in a charity shop.
Already had a copy but for 2 quid, it was too good to pass by.
Since I got Kindle on the tablet, I mostly read random free crap, from Amazon - lol |

Just finished reading the final Terry Pratchett book, The Shepherd's Crown.
Found myself having a little cry more than once - sad to lose some of my favourite literary characters as well as a much adored author.
Waiting for Mr Kinky to finish it now so we can discuss it! |

I just found this, an without starting a new thread that no-one will understand, I thought I'd dump it here for the book-readers.
From Bakunin's Confessions:
.
.
It was a party without beginning or end; I saw everyone and no-one, for each individual was lost in the same enormous strolling crowd; I spoke to everyone without remembering either my own words or those spoken by others, because everyone's attention was absorbed at every step by new objects and events, and by unexpected news."
.

This sooooo reminds me of FabSwingers... I'm imagining gliding through a mass of writhing bodies as I read this...

I can't remember - it's been too long (I got through phases).
I was clearing up earlier though and found a load of books I've never read before so looking forward to getting my nose stuck into a few. |

We are all completely beside ourselves. Can't remember the author. It was ok.
Now reading big brother by Lionel Shriver. She wrote We need to talk about Kevin. Such a good book and film. |

Just reread The Secret Sex Life of Catherine M by Catherine Millet.
Editor of Art Review discusses her love of swinging and gang bangs. Interestingly frank but the over intellectualism of fucking becomes a chore to read |

Nation by Terry Pratchett.
It's a standalone one and apparently the book he was most proud/pleased with.
I managed to read most of it whilst on various forms of public transport today and enjoyed it so much I sacrificed doing my chores when I got home so I could finish it. |

Since his demise I've promised myself to read all of his books. I've read a couple but it was too long ago for me to really remember anything. |

"Is it complete sacrilege to say I didn't think the last dozen or so of Pratchett's books weren't terribly good?
Just sayin'..
:/"
Not sacrilege at all, we all like different stuff. Some of the discworld ones I've read and reread, others I read once.
But Nation is now up there with Good Omens for me. |

Good Omens is the one I hoped someone would mention.
If you haven't already...

I don't read nearly as much as I should, I used to like Stephen King but prefer fact based books like the style of Stephen E. Ambrose (war history always works for me) Never read 1984 but think that will be my next. I'm not sure where too get ideas of what too read. |

"Mr Nice - Howard Marks 
Very good.
Read: Underworld of the east (James S Lee, Green Magic Press 2000)
My mate will probably have a copy of that somewhere  "
It's eye-opening, was written in 1935, and contains some very useful information. imo

Last one I finished was re-reading pride and prejudice. Currently on u is for undertow (prep for reading X), how Eskimos keep their babies warm and Wuthering heights (again).
Usually got at least 2 on the go. |

Personal the latest jack reacher thought it a bit predictable and formulaic
Currently reading fighter boys about the raf in 1940 very deep look at the mentality and conditions they fought in

I recently finished reading To Kill A Mockingbird again.
Just started reading a book called Black Dog Days which was written by a friend of mine and tells the story of his breakdown and how he overcame it. |

"Me - The Martian, Andy weir. Just starting The Passage by Justin Cronin again before the third is out in October.
R - Grey, then all the 50 shades again  "
Snap. Just read the Martian (both of us) and loved it.
The Passage - I loved this, but when I Google release date of the 3rd book it said March next year. Sorry. You probably feel like I did now  |

I want to read a book that explains how the human brain works and why it goes wrong. The irony is I can't remember what I read and have trouble comprehending long sentences. |
