    I just started reading Bob Dylan's autobiography. So far...so good.
    That was a good read. Interesting, and he definitely plays with chronological order. There's a part when I realize he writes a bit tongue in cheek.

    I just picked up George Tenet's book, Center of the storm. I love anything to do with spies and CIA....

    I read most, maybe all of it, and I don't remember liking it that much. I don't even know if I finished it. I will probably read it again.

    oh great. :rolleyes: that good huh?
    well it would be too much to ask for if they assigned us books we actually wanted to read and found engaging.

    I started A Thousand Splendid Suns (by the author of Kite Runner) over the weekend. I'm about a 100 pages into it and it's really good so far (not nearly as good as KR though).
    i'm reading a thousand splendid suns now. i thought the kite runner was the best book i had read in years and i'm equally enthused about this one...i can't put it down!

    Currently reading Deception Point by Dan Brown. So far so good, not quite on par with Angels & Demons though.
