    I'm reading Chocolat, a novel by Joanne Harris from 1999 that was a movie a few years ago starring Juliette Binoche, Judith Dench, Alfred Molina and JDepp :)
    I hardly ever read books anymore... the one I read before this one was the latest Ann Rule true-life murder stories book :eek:

    I watched "Chocolat" too. I thınk Carrie Anne Moss was in there too. I love Juliette Binoche esp. in "Les amants du pount neuf"

    I am reading many book at the same time, mostly poetry but I want to start "Look back in anger" soon. Taking it with me around :) John Osborne"s the author

    "Waging Heavy Peace"....very interesting read, despite the rambling, non-linear structure.
    All the world will be your enemy, Prince with a thousand enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you, digger, listener, runner, prince with the swift warning. Be cunning and full of tricks and your people shall never be destroyed.

    Just finished it. I thought it was great. I actually appreciated the non-chronological format. Once he stops talking about trains, it's very good. Enjoy!

    Just finished "The Devil In The White City."

    Now I'm knee deep in "Columbine." Someone here mentioned it months ago, and it's been on my list since.

    Don't know if it was me but I thought Columbine was excellent. Well written and thought-provoking. There are so many false assumptions about what happened and why, and he does a thorough job of debunking them.

    Agree about "Columbine," it took me a while to start it, I had to be ready. But I thought it was very, very well researched and presented.

    I have had "The Devil in the White City," sitting unread on my bookshelf for at least a year, and now I want to read it because I'm wrapping up my first-ever visit to Chicago. :)

    Currently halfway through "State of Wonder" by Ann Patchett. I'm not 100% convinced yet, but it's a good read.

    Scar Tissue by Anthony Kiedis. Man, that motherfucker has done a lot of drugs. :shock:

    Still a really good book. Good for a Chili Peppers fan like me to get an insight on the lesser known details of the history of the band.

    No I haven't read that yet. Love Clapton though so I will get to it. Sad thing is about Anthony Kiedis is, if Hillel Slovak didn't OD on heroin, he might be dead by now. Hillel's death really steered him toward sobriety (even though he relapsed a few times after that).

    Really want to read that new Bruce book that just came out. That might be my next read.

    I picked up the Bruce book on Saturday. I'm waiting for winter break to read that. Don't want to worry about school work as I read that because I know I won't be able to put that book down.
