I'm on a sick leave so it seems I'll be stuck in the house for 1/2 a month and this is what I need,,,,,

You read any good books lately? Throw me some titles

What do you like? Fiction, non fiction, adventure, romance? I read a lot, but gimmie a clue?

Oh, and I wish you a speedy recovery!

This book is the most hilarious, brilliant, thing I've ever stumbled upon.

I've been meaning to check that one out but I never got around to it. Give me a brief synopsis from your POV?

I'm still less than halfway done with it as I just started reading it, but I'm
so damned impressed that I would recommend it based on just the parts I've read.
I can't really give the plot away, but let's just say that the protagonist isn't
having the best time of his life. The correspondeces between him and other
characters is.... absolutely hilarious.

Paula, Michael & Bob

It's about the British TV presenter, Paula Yates, and her affair with Australian Rock God, Michael Hutchence.

It's very salacious and hard to put down.

It might not translate well if you're unfamiliar with British culture though.

It's written by Paula Yates' ex best-friend - which are always the best kinds of books. lol

thanks!

babynoz said:

No problem! Just picturing you reading it naked makes recommending the book worthwhile

Imago said:

ROTFLMAO!

I'm gonna download it from the Dade public library website and put it on my mp3 player so you'll have to add some headphones to your fantasy.

All

Have you tried reading encyclopedias?

Imago said:

I read a couple of passages from it in B&N,,,,,it is intersting to say the least I need to sit down and read it in one set though. I've been meaning to check it out along with The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao.

I just starting reading Concerning the Spiritual in Art by Wassily Kandinsky. (Kandinsky was a Russian artist who taught at the Bauhaus during the late 20s/early 30s.) I'm thinking that he, along with Marcel Duchamp, was one of the most influential artists of the 20th century.

Okey-dokey,

The last good novel I read was Fear Of The Dark by Walter Mosley

The last non-fiction I read was the Steve Harvey book I mentioned on the other thread. It's pretty light reading.

Right now I'm reading a good adventure novel by Robert Ludlum called The Ambler Warning.

If you like classics I highly recommend John Steinbeck, Charles Dickens and Alexandre Dumas.

If you want to go a little deeper, you could check out Thomas Merton or Karl Jung.

I detest most romance novels so I can't help you a lot there.
