Bookworms?
Hey Guys,
Lately while I've had a lot of free time I've started reading heavily again. I find it relaxing and a great way to entertian, educate and broaden your horizons. Here are some books I've been reading:
Another Bullsh*t Night in Suck City
The L.A. Diaries
I've just ordered:
The Knights Templar
Cell
Batman Begins (Novelisation)
Any other readers out there? If so list your book recommendations.

Well it's set it like a historic fantasy world. (kinda like LOTR) and it's about this lad who stumbles across an egg when hunting.
the egg hatches and it's a dragon, as the dragon grows he has to keep it in hiding and they form an close relationship where they can actually communicate with eachother via their minds.
that's only the begginning, the plot advances from then on and it's a great read. it's about 500ish pages, if i remember correctly.

Jjay wheather its a kid book or an adult-level book, reading is always good for anybody, reading anything can broaden your horizons. It surly broad that guy's horizons because its within his level. Anyways, I've read couple of books that I really enjoyed alot and Bless Me Ultima is one of them which shows you a different precpective of life and way of thinking, I really recommend you reading that book Anthony. Another book that I really enjoyed was The Stranger ( awsome detailing and great story) and I recommend you reading this book too more than the first one lol! The story is about a guy whose family was religious and his mother dies so he acts like nothing happen, he thinks about life in a different way.. more than a philosophy book..
I like mysterious books too but for a certain author, John Grisham is my favourite, even though you dont learn much from his books but I live details and he rocks at that!
Regards

Everybody has read the da vinci code, as well as angels and demons.
I'm not really into kids fiction, more so adult thriller, stuff like Mr Murder by Dean Koontz. I'll take a look at some books you mentioned Kirki, they sound quite interesting!

Yep they really are, especially The Stranger which is a french book originally. You might find Bless Me Ultima boring at the begining but once you start thinkin really deep about it you will read it a couple of times.
Please tell me what you think if you read them, if you dont find them anywhere I will be more happy to ship you my too copies for free .
Regards

Even though it is not a thriller, I found "A Million Little Pieces" and "My Friend Leonard" (the sequel) quite good, despite the controversy, it is a good story, regardless of whether it really happened.
