Preid Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 Art of War by SunTzuRHCP BioArt of wars rather long, only about 1/4 through it.

HeinzHines Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 Ive been reading junk lately in an attempt to start enjoying books again as i felt they had become a little bit of a chore sometimes.So i read 'All the Rage' by Ian 'Mac' McLagen.....was poorly written but had some great stories.Then i read 'The Worst Jobs In History' by Tony Robinson, which was also a pretty enjoyable read.

Chris Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 War Junkie by Jon Steele. It's a superb book about his experiences covering various wars for ITN and his subsequent spiral towards nervous breakdown. Read it a couple of times before and it's still great.I'm also very slowly reading The Great War For Civilisation by Robert Fisk. But as it's massive (1000 odd pages and hardback) it's a bit cumbersome to read in bed or on the bog. And as that's where I do most of my reading I've not been able to build any momentum yet.

Hardcore Mel Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 I was going to buy some Kafka soon. What do you think of them' date=' I was probably going to get The Trial first.[/quote']The Trial is good but I prefer Metamorphosis.I started reading a book I bought for my mum for her birthday called Ghost Girl last night. It's pretty good. Can't remember off the top of my head who it's by. I just finished Hotel Babylon which was mildly entertaining but poorly written. Need to start reading smart books again.
