'kitchen confidential' By chef Tony Bourdain It's excellent I recommend it to everyone also the haynes motorcycle basics techbook.
"American Gods" by Neil Gaiman and "The Buddha in the Jungle by Kamala Tiyavanich. Hey Yoda-- have you read From a Buick 8?
Cage fighter - The true story of Ian 'The Machine' Freeman Looks real good from what ive read so far.
Finished War and Peace (Tolstoy) a while ago, that was good. Currently reading Red Rabbit (Military fiction type) by Tom Clancy. The Icewind Dale Trilogy (Fantasy) by RA Salvatore is next, then possibly To Kill a Mockingbird.
No, but I've played both the Baldurs Gate games for PC. They were fun, but I never got round to finishing them. BTW, all those books are highly recommended by me
I’m actually writing a book at the moment in memory of my recently departed sensei. I expect you all to buy it once it finished. That’s an order!!! LOL
A Brief History of time, by Stephen Hawking. An intellectually stretching and sometimes straining read, but a good one if you're interested in that kind of thing (astrophysics, "Why are we here" questions, etc.) My only complaint is that in order to make it an "easier" read, nothing is really justified properly; no working out is given. No doubt if I was writing such a book i would take the same approach (he mentions at the beginning that a friend advised him that each equation he included would halve the readers of the book!), but I like to understand things thoroughly. Thus, when he says "X happpens because of Y" I can't help but try and make that jump make sense to me, rather than simply accept what he says as being true- hence why my brain often gets that "butter spread over too much bread" feeling Still interesting though, and I would recommend it to those that way inclined. The last book I finshed is Catch-22. Great read!
apparently his publisher told him that for every equation he included, it would halve his readership Hell of a book though. Have you read the sequel, universe in a nutshell?
The Blind Assassin. third time i've tried to read it. hopefully it'll pick up. gonna finnish it regardless. then i've got to read the corrections and 1421. all these books that i've started and that beat me. gonna get them out of the way by christmas so i can get back to my undefeated record! -Qis
"Secret Tactics" by K. Tabata. It is a collection of and commentary on excerpts from 16 &17 century Japenese texts on trainig and elightenment (Munenori, Musashi, etc). Actually I have already read it cover to cover and now I go back and read a bit and try to internalize it... http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/t...102-6124221-4885742?v=glance&s=books&n=507846
