I`ll also read pretty much any short story by Stuart McClean...host of CBC`s The Vinyl Cafe....funny stuff!

AJ Jacobs` The Know it All was incredibly funny as well. He sets out this time to read the entire Encyclopedia Brittanica from A to Z. Someone told me he has a new book out too where he does something else zany! The guy is a hilarious writer!!!


Any book pretty much that makes me laugh out loud while reading rocks in my world!

I just started "reading" Red Mars. Is it still called reading when you are listening to an audio book?

I'm about 1/5th of the way through Twilight now and although my wife and daughters raved over this book and reckoned that it was better than the Host, I disagree completely. I think Twilight simply appeals more to the female romantic bones perhaps but I definitely think The Host is written better. Another level above in fact. In the Host it seemed to draw you in and force you to think about things you wouldn't normally even consider.

Okay, this is weird. I just read a story in my Stephen King book and in it there's a story called 'N.' it's about an amateur photographer who, in seeking the perfect shot, stumbles across an eery field.

I won't tell you anymore but it was neat the way he did it.

so just be careful out there ok???

Me being too much techie sometimes, I just read "Crypto" by Steven Levy. If you love technology or even if you don't, maybe you just wonder about the history of computers, the inside track on the software industry or the origins of the true "Hacker" then this guys work is a must. Informative, very entertaining tech writer.

I read Into The Wild by Jon Krakauer a while ago, it was pretty good.
I started The Host by Stephanie Meyer too, but haven't gotten into it much yet....it's winter now so I will start reading again soon.
