Nollaig Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 I discovered Beau Riffenburgh's Explorers book/facsimile set and bought it, so I'm thrilled, the Titanic one was great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Landsman Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Been reading some Hunter Thompson articles on his best friend: Richard Nixon. You would have to be a stinking fascist not to gain some enjoyment from reading the opinions of Thompson when it comes to one of the most corrupt, treacherous, deceitful, and selfish men ever to lead a supposedly 'democratic' state. There's nothing like politics to stir up the emotions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightingale Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Read about 20 pages today of Farenheit 451. Would have read more on the bus going home, but a young lady was gabbing endlessly into her mobile and i couldn't concentrate so gave up . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylie Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 I've been really slack with reading since I've been on holidays. I get too easily distracted by everything else around me. I'm making slow progress with The Hound of the Baskervilles and The Riddle of the Trumpalar but I really need to start on my seasonal read of A Christmas Carol. Oh, and I got the one book I asked for for Christmas: Blind Faith by Ben Elton. Has anyone read it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catwoman Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 I have done no reading today as I have been a professional Lego builder today, but I did recieve some books; 1* Dan Brown- the Lost Symbol 2*Secret Societies (revelations about the freemasons, Templars, illuminati and the Serpent Cults. 3*Birdman - Mo Hayder. So I am really happy about that! On Boxing day I go to my aunts where I basically have a day off and they entertain the kids and I get cooked for. We also have sacks of presents there, and I have been hinted to that there maybe another book for me.. Whoooo hooooo!!! Hope you all had a great Christmas!!

Peacefield Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 Look forward to reading your review Peacefield. I am 99.9% sure someone has got this for me for Xmas so I hope it is good. As for that Ghosthunters book, that sounds AWESOME! I love the show, please please please let me know what the book is like, I would be really interested in purchasing it if it is good. *Goes ands watches the show OnDemand* I'm working on my review as we speak, Catwoman! Putting thoughts to screen is usually a wee bit slow for me, plus I think I made my coffee too strong this morning as I'm have some concentration issues . I love Ghost Hunters too! Jason and Grant are my fave hunters, and the other guys in the gang are hilarious. I so much enjoy this show over others here in the US like 'Paranormal State' and 'Ghost Adventures.' The guys from GH concentrate a lot on de-bunking stuff, which makes them more credible to me. I can't wait to read this newest book though. I read their first book and it's basically just tons of cases that never made it on the TV show but where such freaky stuff happened! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peacefield Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 Starting The Shining by Stephen King today. Hopefully it's as good as the movie. *sigh* CaliLily, have you been talking to Rawr?! The movie can never hold a candle to the book, but that's just me . The best book King ever wrote, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best book King ever wrote, imo. Really? Haha, actually I never planned on reading it initially, it was part of a buy one get one free deal through Barnes and Noble when I bought Salem's Lot. It was the only other title I recognized by him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peacefield Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 It's okay, CaliLily, I'll still talk to you! I'm kidding . It is one of my fave books though, so I hope you like it. I've read it more times than I can count, and I'm just a little bitter about the film so don't mind me . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
