    Out Natsuo Kirino Amazoncouk Kirino Natsuo 8601300074153 Books
    ! a personal top favorite book






    1/3 read - the usual page turner by Grisham. His A Time to Kill was the first courtroom thriller I read. Can’t wait to see this murder case in the courtroom.
    it could make a great movie!!..

    Just finished The Underground Railroad by Colson Whitehead. Really enjoyed it. 

    Now I’m going to start Stoner. 
    That was the scariest book I ever read.

    which one?

    Underground Railroad by Colson Whitehead.

    thanks  :)

    I've heard SO much about this book.  Gave it a try once and just wasn't in the mood.  I suppose one of these days I just need to DO IT because if I wait to be in the mood for that kind of thing, it may not happen, lol.

    Well Bri if you found Amusing Ourselves to Death worth the time and effort I think you will find this doubly so.  It is really intriguing and keeps you interested.  It’s really a master class in how we got to where we are today. I look at it like this, if it helps me learn how we (the plebes) have been historically taken advantage of perhaps I can find a way through the meat grinder and inspire and help out some others on the way.

    Sounds like a good read.  I'll have to put it on my list.  Thanks!
