http://www.amazon.com/Dont-Get-Taken-Every-Time/dp/0143038885 Don't Get Taken Every Time: The Ultimate Guide to Buying or Leasing a Car, in the Showroom or on the Internet First heard about it here on some thread. It was passionately recommended by someone (I want to say Nook or Raven??). It's a good read and will definitely help me (first time buying a new car) when I buy in December, but some things in there are already well known by most adults I would think. So those experienced in car buying and the corporate business/sales world might not gain a whole lot. Still, I'd recommend it. I'm going to heed its advice when the time comes.
I'm reading Cancer Ward by Solzhenitsyn. It is really good, but the last 50 pages or so have been sort of preachy, like an Ayn Rand novel or something. And, even though I agree with the message of the patchiness in this case, it does not make for the best read. Overall though, very good book. Here's hoping the last 100 pages don't have the same awkwardness and goes back to how it was for the first 2/3rds of the book.
It does. But the flight to Hawaii is long so why not. If I finish it, I also have Blood Meridian on my Kindle waiting to be read.
appreciate the responses everyone. the ones in bold i picked up today, excited to dig in. in addition to those two picked up another larson titled " The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic and Madness at the Fair That Changed America" which sounded really good. also the jon meacham book on thomas jefferson. good on reading material for awhile.
While I didn't love the ending, sure, it was definitely not what I expected and I didn't dislike it by any means. I can definitely see how it would bother people, though.
It bothered people so much that they're completely rewriting the third act for the movie. It's a testament to how good that book is. I've heard so many people say they hate the ending, yet still love the book.
just finished " The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic and Madness at the Fair That Changed America" by larson really well done. it read like a novel, except it was all factual. lots of info about the world fair in chicago in the 1800's but also the whole story of holmes who was basically jack the ripper of america. next up: In the Garden of Beasts
Spoiler I didn't care one way or the other. If you read Raising Stoney Mayhall it was a similar type of zombie perspective. I don't feel it was a waste of time, but I wouldn't recommend it as a must read. EDIT - additional spoiler Spoiler That being said, I think it would be a much better movie than a book.
Cyberex, paging cyberex .... by EddieWasSnubbed So far I'm on page 292. It's quite interesting to say the least. Check it out.
Just finished Bowl of Heaven, by Larry Niven and Gregory Benford. It was a trip! Turns out that it's also the first novel in a series. The second is Shipstar, which I'm fixing to buy. A good read by two very accomplished writers of SF.
