Barenaked-NoMre Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 Was pretty much underground ... hadnt read anything for the past couple of months. Just got back to appreciating the written word ... it's nice to know you can borrow from friends than spend P300+ for a good book. ;-) Currently reading ... "Heartstone" by Phillip Margolin. Interesting ... ala-CSI with The Practice mixed into it. Any other suggestions for good reads? Quote Link to comment

bruno frankelli Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 I'm reading Ken Kesey's One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. I know one shouldn't judge a book by its cover but my copy's got this really cool cover artwork. I tried looking for the artist's name but I can't find it anywhere in the book. Anywayz, it's a painting of a guy on top of a red house roof. The roof is one of those sharp triangular shaped ones, you know? Maybe it's a birdhouse. It looks as if he's going to jump but maybe he's just reflecting. He seems to be staring at the sky, which is cloudy and dull. The man has his back turned so you can't see his face yet his posture, the way he's standing there, makes him seem... sad, I guess. The painting's utterly depressing, sharp reds and dull yellows and the ghost of azure. I've been staring at it since I found the book last Saturday while rummaging through a bargain bin. I haven't even gotten very far in the book. The third chapter I believe. That artwork, for whatever reasons, haunts me. Quote Link to comment

strangedays Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 (edited) My Life - Bill ClintonSo... how do you find bill's memoirs? I must admit I flipped to the monica lewinsky page immediately when I bought the book. an interesting read but I feel like I should have waited for the book to be on sale (which happened a few weeks after I bought the book) Edited August 10, 2004 by strangedays Quote Link to comment

agxo3 Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 Bought 3 discounted books last night at Powerbooks: <...>2. DOG EATERS - Jessica Hagedorn<...> It's about the Marcos years - lots of real people thinly disguised. If you remember that time, you'll have a blast reading this. Dream Jungle also takes place during that time, but is focused on the Elizalde/"lost tribe" scandal, and weaves in the "Apocalypse Now" filming as well. I'm blanking on the name of the "tribe" now but it was quite a scam and reeled in some big names in anthropology and sociology at that time. As the book liner notes, Jessica Hagedorn was born and raised in the Phil;ippines but moved to the US. She lived in the Pinas there for much of the martial law era. Quote Link to comment

Fahfrd Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 I finished Infinite Dreams, a collection of short stories by Joe Haldeman. I'm now about halfway through Halls of Stormweather. This is a novel in seven parts by seven different authors. Each one about a different member of the Uskevren family. They are one of the most powerful families in Selgaunt, a city in Sembia located in the Northern Coast of the Sea of Fallen Stars in the world of Toril in the Forgotten Realms. This universe is my favorite among all the TSR multiverse. Quote Link to comment
