Extreme Veteran 413 |  Subject: Anyone recommend me a book to read?I've read all Wilbur Smith, John Grisham and his type and doing it for me anymore, autobiographies usually result in me disliking the person I'm reading about and I've read my two triathlon training manuals cover to cover several times recently. I got so desperate I cracked open a couple of my old text books on Corporate Strategy the other day!! Anyone read anything decent? I don’t care what it's about or how intellectually stimulating it was - I just want to read a good old fashioned good book. Ps, if you haven't read any Wilbur Smith, read him, read him now!! |

Champion 6285 Beautiful Sonoma County | Subject: RE: Anyone recommend me a book to read? I third Into Thin Air. Great read. I'm really enjoying the series by George R R Martin: I'm not much of a fantasy genre reader, but I really like the way he pulls no punches. Edited by madkat 2006-10-03 11:05 AM |
