July 15, 200421 yr Right now I am reading a book titled Flyboys, written by James Bradely. It is about American airmen shot down over the island of Chichi Jima (sister island of Iwo Jima) and their ordeal. It is a good book if you like reading about WWII and history in general.
July 15, 200421 yr pretty soon ill be starting my summer assignments for chemistry, physics, and european histroy
July 15, 200421 yr I just got done reading the Sandtiger/Del series; fairly good IMO if you're into fantasy.
July 15, 200421 yr I just finnished Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone yesterday and started Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. I've read them in German twice and now I'm on the English-Versions.
July 15, 200421 yr I just finnished Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone yesterday and started Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. I've read them in German twice and now I'm on the English-Versions. LOL i'm rereading HP and the Order of the Phoenix... and Europe by Norman Davies...
July 15, 200421 yr Last book I've read is the first book of Erin Hart : Haunted Ground. It's about a murder in Ireland and cops trying to find who's guilty. I was deceived, the solution is nearly evident (but perhaps I've read too much Agatha Christie's books) and the author is describing too many things... a little boring sometimes.If you like heroic fantasy I recommand you to read The Black Compagny, writen by Glenn Cook. 9 books for now, the five first are excellents. The 6th isn't very good, and the others are a little repetitive. But the five first... originals, very well writen, the characters are addictive and the story is really really good. and it's not a Tolkien-like heroic fantasy. And of course you have to read The Discworld of Terry Pratchet, Elric of Micheal Moorcock, Conan of Robert Howard etc. All the "classics" who are really good.If you like science fiction there is a French author who is really good : Michel Pagel. I don't know if his books are edited elsewhere than France, but you can have a look... of course you have to read Franck Herbert, Robert Heinlein and some others known authors.hum... perhaps I should stop there when someone chat with me of books and litterature...
July 15, 200421 yr I just finished Storm of Swords by George RR Martin (I also read the other two in the Song of Ice and Fire series) and I'm moving on to Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six

July 15, 200421 yr I am reading The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien. It is about a platoon in the Vietnam war. I am not too far in it, but it seems to be just about the horror of the war. It talk about their burdens; acctaul items to their thoughts. It is a pretty good book. That book and the next book, 1983, are on my summer reading list. The other ones were all other types of classic literature, O, Cry the Beloved Country and I Know Why the Cagged Bird Sings. They didn't seem to interest me too much.
