I'm hoping that Elly and I aren't the only people here who read, you illiterate shits.
I'm reading a dance of dragons, the fifth book in the game of thrones series.

Re: Books
It's porn for women.
We like to talk big, vampires do. "I'm going to destroy the world." That's just tough-guy talk.The truth is, I like this world. You've got, dog racing, Manchester United. And you've got people. billions of people walking around like a happy meal on legs. -
Re: Books
OK, so I'm not the only one who hasn't read the books!
I don't think I'm going to, either. Quite frankly, and this will probably be TMI but whatever, if I want porn, I will watch it with my husband. Nobody knows when that is going on, but if I'm sitting in the lunch room with the book, everyone will know...and from what I'm hearing, it's not like you can say "oh, I'm reading it for the story line, it has great character development, blah, blah, blah".

Re: Books
ha Marley. So it's a read under the covers book so no one will know you are reading it. But it would be funny to see your co-workers faces and you trying to explain.
I'll pass on that book. -

Re: Books
I'm reading "1982" by Jian Ghomeshi.
Jian is a CBC radio/television "Cultural-Affairs" host in Canada. He was the lead singer for the band Moxy Früvous during the 90's.
The book is Jian's personal story of being a child of Iranian descent born in England but raised in Toronto who becomes obsessed with The Clash, Rush and David Bowie around the time that he turns 15 in 1982.
I've only just started to read it but so far I am enjoying it immensely. -

Re: Books
I'm rereading "Promise Me" by Nancy Brinker, the found of Susan G Komen for The Cure. The book is about her sister, SGK, and how the organization came to be. I needed the motivation for my upcoming walk; it has done the trick. I can't even begin to describe the respect I have for Nancy. I hope to be able to tell her in person some day.

Re: Books
I love a good motivational book.
Looking around I STILL have that dome book by Steven King. The one that is a million pages long that I just can't get into. Or I have some free (usually crappy) books on my iphone.
I have the reading shakes and need a good book fix soon! -
Re: Books
I'm reading "Ghost Rider" by Neil Peart
(yeah, the drummer for RUSH).
It's the tragic story of the deaths of Neil's only child and his wife of 22 years both within a 10 month period. His grief and sorrow cause him to abandon his life and ride his motorcycle 55,000 miles across Canada, through the USA, down to Mexico, all the way to Belize and then back again.
"Ghost Rider" is the summation of the journal that he kept during the entire trip.
It's a gut wrenching and incredible story. -
Re: Books
I read that... loved it!! It helped me through putting my beloved dog down...
I did find he mentioned his meals a lot though. It was such a great read. And now I'm thinking, dammit. I lent it to a co-worker. I asked for it back months later and she said, I'm sure I gave it back to you... umm NO YOU DIDN'T. sigh*
I think I need to re-order it.
It was amazing to read his journey, just amazing....
