Read any good books lately?
by 5times » Wed Jun 10, 2015 9:27 pm
Just finished The Narrow Road to the Deep North by Richard Flanagan. Excellent read with some vivid descriptions of life in a Japanese prisoner of war camp. Horrendous what humans can do to each other. Highly recommended.

No Country For Old Men tripped me out big time.
With the Force as his ally he did battle with the Dark Lord. And he showed the measure of a true Jedi at a place called "The Death Star" where hope for the Galaxy was reborn. May all who struggle against tyranny hold his memory in their hearts

Does "Hustler", "Tongue & Cheeks" and "Big 'Uns" count?

George Pelecanos-The Martini Shot. Not his best but pretty good.

The Andre Agassi autobiography was pretty fascinating. The amount of hatred, jealousy, bitterness and self-loathing caught me by surprise and I followed his entire career.

Worth a read BF? (Lady Voodoo was a big fan of Mr Agassi back in the day though now she is firmly in the Nadal camp, though it may be time to look for another for the future by now).

Well worth the read. He doesn't spare anyone including himself and his pettiness is shocking.
