[True Death of Life]

I pretty much on the last page of Aerosmith's autobiography, "Walk This Way"...(sorry, I'm going through an Aerosmith phase.)

I loved that book, although the last few chapters seemed rushed while the very early years (pre-Aerosmith, in their childhoods) seemed to drag on. Great read though, lots of interesting stuff there!

Yeah, I just finished it a couple of hours ago and they never really said how they became sober...and what happened in the 80s. Thought is was incredible and very, very honest. I read Slash's autobiography too, and even though he went into a lot of detail (sometimes waaaay too much) sometimes I felt as though he were only telling half the truth. Still a good read though.

Yeah, definitely. Steven Tyler is writing an autobiography, that should come out sometime next year... I wonder how honest he is gonna be since I'm 95% sure hes back on drugs/alcohol now.

Same  here. He looks pretty fucked up. But I still can't wait to read it.

[bout to crash]

I had to post because the answer was sort of in the topic below.

I will be starting Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows soon... but right now I am reading my own brother's book about his road trip around the country with his dog

[Lynxo]

I'm re-reading A Song of Ice and Fire-series. Just as great as last time.

I've read Slash biography too, and I get the same feeling as True Death of Life. I wish Axl Rose would write a biography. Say what you will about him, but the one thing even his sworn enemies says about him is that he is always 100% honest.

currently awaiting delivery of "swan song" by Robert Mcammon.

Any relation to the Zeppelin song?

Just finished reading Neil Gaiman's "American Gods". I thought it was really good so now I'm reading his book "Anansi Boys".

[73109]

1984, Animal Farm, A Clockwork Orange, Lord of the Rings...oy.

[Dark Master Of Sin]

Soldiers of Hala by Dj Machale. The final book in an amazing series that i've put off reading for a longgggg time.

[lonestar]

Just finished reading Neil Gaiman's "American Gods". I thought it was really good so now I'm reading his book "Anansi Boys".

Neil Gaiman kicks ass, and both those books rock.  I'm on Joe Haldemans "Old Twentieth" right now, veeeeery interesting.

Interesting fact, my grandpa was one of Aerosmiths roadies back before they could get shows outside of there local area. He quit being a roadie after he quit drugs. Not sure if he got a mention in the book, his name is Tim Tizano.

That's what my brother and dad have been telling me. They both just got done reading all of his books so I figured I would try a few of them out. So far I'm liking it very much.

Just started reading Tortilla Flat by John Steinbeck. I have a feeling this book is gonna be awesome.

[blackngold29]

Halfway though The Lost Symbol. I gotta review it for my school newspaper and I'm goin kind of slow. Gotta hurry up! Good so far.

[Nick]

I finished the early Robert Heinlein stories, and on deck are-

End the Fed - Ron Paul
The Evolution of God - Author I am forgetting at the moment.

[Sigz]

End the Fed - Ron Paul

From what I've read, the first 9 chapters are nothing but a Ron Paul biography. Have fun.

The Dan Brown Cliffhanger Machine has failed!

I am about half way through Fernando Torres' biography titled 'Torres'. Great read!

Read Bradbury's Fahrenheit 145 yesterday in one sitting, and now currently reading Robert Heinlein's Stranger In A Strange Land

[Nick]

Stranger in a Strange Land is a fantastic book! My 2nd favorite novel of his behind The Moon is a Harsh Mistress.

[Super Dude]

Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist (yes, it was a book before they made the movie).  It's a very different story, and at times I'm uncomfortable reading it.  There seems to be a lot of animosity revolving around "how Jewish" Norah's ex-boyfriend was, and it's not like they just happen to make him Jewish and just happen to make him an asshole; in the book, the things that Norah hates so much about him have a lot to do with how Jewish he is.  Other than that, it's interesting.  I definitely prefer the movie though; the authors also have a strange perception of the teenage thought process.

Even though I am only 50 pages into 1984, I find it to be one of the coolest books I've ever read and I heard from a friend it just gets better...yay

[Nick]

It does just get better and better. It's definitely a top 3 book for me, but gun to my head I'd probably say that it is flat out the best book I've ever read.

[Super Dude]

I'm quite partial to books written by Isaac Asimov actually.  And the weird thing is I can't say I like any single installment of the Foundation series, but as a whole I think they're the best books I've ever read.

[blackngold29]

Read Bradbury's Fahrenheit 145 yesterday in one sitting, and now currently reading Robert Heinlein's Stranger In A Strange Land

It's Fahrenheit 451. Paper burns at 451 degrees F. Very good book. Amazing writer.

[73109]

It does just get better and better. It's definitely a top 3 book for me, but gun to my head I'd probably say that it is flat out the best book I've ever read.

The problem though...I know the ending...well sorta...I knwo what happens to you know who. Will that ruin it in any way or will it make it more enjoyable?

[Nick]

It'll probably be fine, but I can't really say for sure.

[73109]

The idea of thought crime...*chills*

[Nick]

We already have it.

Think of hate crimes, how they target the motive and not the actual crime.

[73109]

Yeah but it is not as bad...how and I have come to a revelation:

1984 is not excellent...













































































It is doubleplusgood!  (that is where I am at the moment)

The Fountainhead - Ayn Read

Not the best written book, but oh my God if I'm really enjoying it.

[Logical Nightmare]

I just started rereading the His Dark Materials-triology by Philip Pullman.

Seriously. Those books are the best I've ever read. If you're into fantasy and haven't read them yet, do it.

Great choice. Are you reading them in English or in Swedish?
