This is supposed to be children's fiction ... for me it was just a good book. Maybe a bit jittery at the start, maybe attempting original devices more than necessary, but once you get accustomed to the pace and style of narration, the characters, the daily life and death in a WW2 German town will haunt you for a while.

To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee

The wisdome and insights in this book are unbelievable. No wonder Harper Lee wrote only this book. How could you possibly top it?

I'm 85 pages into Conqueror, the final Khan book by Iggulden. Fuck yeah! So good. Thanks again to whoever it was that recommended these books (Excession and someone else?). Highly, highly recommended!

Hats off to whoever recommended this:



Is it indeed even better than Greg Prato's quite similar Grunge Is Dead.

You're welcome, dude. That book was like a wet dream look into that whole scene. I'm probably going to read it again soon.

How could I, ever think, it's funny how, everything you swore would never change, is different now, like you said, you and me make it through, didn't quite, fell apart, where the fuck were you?

The Book of Awesome- Just random stories of instances when things in life work out for the better. By no means mind blowing but a nice read none the less.

Razz: I recommend Barbara Demick's Nothing to Envy. Best book about NK I've read so far.

Read the Khan books! Best single series I have ever read. Conqueror could have been 100 pages longer to tell more about Kublai's life but still a fantastic read.

Recommended. You'll learn a lot from these. They do not give a very bright forecast of the future, as you might have already guessed.

Also read Stephen King - Dark Tower II Drawing of three and made the decision to read the whole series again.
