    I'm in the middle of Waging Heavy Peace. It started off strong but now I'm 323 pages in and it's starting to drag a bit... :? I hope it picks up a bit tomorrow. I don't like the feeling that I'm only reading on because I have the goal of finishing the book.

    Speaking as a child of the 80's. :D
    How is this?

    I thought it was a fun read.
    If you liked video games in the 80s it is a mortal lock.

    The last book I read (Winter of the World, Ken Follet) lead me through WWII from the perspective of families in Russia, England, Germany & USA....I was so intrigued by the historical fiction that I picked up a non-fiction account of an American family's experience in Berlin as Hitler rose to power. Fascinating stuff so far.

    That is a great one. Unbelievable cast of characters. Incredible to think how that family had a front row seat to Hitler's rise to power.

    Yeah looking forward to the rest of it....I have watched hours and hours of the BBC Documentary The World At War that I bought a few years ago (highly recommended) but going through it in a personal manner as told by Follet and now this non-fiction account is more thought provoking vs. awesome in the true sense of the word.

    Started the book by Colin Meloy (of The Decemberists). Only read the first few chapters but it's pretty decent. This book is kinda long though.

    Finished this one about a month ago, very good i thought. Picked up the follow-up called "Under Wildwood". Just read the first chapter last night.

    This company puts a whole new meaning to "books on the go."

    Some of these designs are really neat, too.

    Just finished Jay-Z's 'Decoded'. Not going to be everybody's cup of tea, but was right up my street - little bit art, little bit sociology, little bit history, little bit social justice... made me dust off a couple of CDs I hadn't listened to in a long time, and introduced me to some new and new-old music :thumbup: :thumbup:

    I like Jay-Z, haven't read the book yet though. Sounds Cool.


    Currently I'm reading Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell.

    loving it so far. I love reading about his obsession with music as a child...there are parts that remind of how I was when I was that age..of course not much has changed since then... :lol::D
