I am mid way through a Michael Crichton book called "Airframe." Its pretty good. It's about an quality assurance investigation over an airplane after a suspicious mid air flight incident which killed a few people, and injured a bunch more. Meanwhile, this airplane company is trying to seal a deal with China for some airplanes. It's getting pretty suspenseful.

Anyhow, I want to finish it so I can start reading my next book; "Scar Tissue" by Anthony Kiedis.

What book are you reading?

    Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly
    by Anthony Bourdain

    Great book.

    and last month I finished reading Between a Rock and a Hard Place (Aron Ralston), and One Man's Wilderness (Dick Proenneke). Both I would recommend.

    I've read Scar Tissue myself - entertaining read to say the least.

    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:

    The last one was "the murder on Sarajevo" (if you translate it directly from Norwegian) by Zeljko Vukovic. It's a very interesting read from a journalist and writer who's writing about his life and others around him when Sarajevo was bombed to pieces in the 90's. There's some awful and sad stories in it, but it's very well written and gives a pretty good understanding of what was going on down there and why.

    Now I'm gonna read "The Dirt" (the book on Mötley Crue) or the biography of Gro Harlem Brundtland, former prime-minister here in Norway and leader (general Secreterian? something like that.) of WHO. But it's so goddamn long. Don't know if I've got the patience for a biography on almost 1000 pages.

    Hunter Thompson - Fear & loathing in Las Vegas, just finished it a fun read! Brilliant monologues..

    Dan Brown - Angels & Demons, i just started and so far its interesting, alltho the set of of the story really has a lot of similarities as Da Vinci Code (murder, victim's daughter and a secret research).
    your light's reflected now

    I am reading "It" by Stephen King, again. "Scar Tissue" is a pretty interesting read. I read that Bourdain book and it is also a pretty good read although it makes the restaurants I have worked in look pretty tame ;)

    Please Kill Me by Legs McNeil and Gillian McCain.
    reading it for the second time actually, it's just too interesting to let go. :D

    I am about 1/4 done with Neil Gaiman's "Neverwhere" and it's pretty kickass so far.

    I'm reading the Chronicals of Narnia right now...

    I've had a box-set of all 7 stories since i was a little kid...
    It was funny to pull it off the shelf, and find that the only one that was ever opened was The Lion The Witch and The Wardrobe!! :)
    (I guess the thought of reading 7 books back to back was a little daunting when I was 8 years old! )

    I'm glad I picked them up... The Magician's Nephew is my favorite so far!
