Yea, so on Tuesday i picked up Dan Brown's "Angels & Demons." This is an AMAZING book. i'm already like 400 pages into it. it is such a hard book to put down. it is the prequal to The Da Vinci Code, so after i finish this i'm gonna read that book. but, i HIGHLY recommend this book to everyone.

One of the best books I've read in years. I'm not much on submarine warfare, but Larry Bond can make you a beliver in anything. I've read every book of his, most of them 2 or more times, this is a fantastic book and I stayed up late for a week reading it. HIGHLY recommended.

Another really REALLY good book by the same author with a co author. If you want to see what behind the scenes anti terror work looks like, check this out. Another great read, and the ending was insane. ONe of those books you can put into modern context.
If you are into War Novels, and find Tom Clancy's books to be a bit too technical, then read anything ever written by Larry Bond or Harold Coyle. I've read everything written by all 3 of these authors, at least 2 times, but some of the classics, like Red Phoenix (Second Korean war happening around 1984), I've read 7 times.
They are that good.

I just finished Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith and am starting a book called Voices of Terror. Voices of Terror is basically a collection of writings, and speeches by terrorists since the advent of terrorism. What I have read so far is pretty good.

I used to read a lot of books but now I stopped for some reason.
One of my favortie books is "Angela's Ashes" I saw the movie first and then read the book. Its a biography about the author's life in 1930's Ireland. He wrote it really well..I havent seen any author write in the style that he did.
I also like 'Walden" by Henry David Thoreau. I had to read it for my college english class and I just loved it. Its one of those books that really makes you think.
Now I just read Alex's Maxim or buy SCC or just buy Cosmo lol.

Well now all I read is textbooks and car mags (SCC C&D etc). Over the summer my most interesting book was The Number (about retirement, it doesnt sound interesting but I liked it). Like fiction I like is Artemis Fowl (when I read for fun I read like young books lmao.gif ) Engilsh and stuff makes me read really complicated books which I get tired of. I like reading books that make you learn stuff fiction gets kind of boring and sometmes seems like a waste of time for me. I only read some of it in the summer.
