How'd you find that? I've had a copy on my shelf for some time but usually pass it over in favour of something else. Would you recommend it?

The Book With No Name by Anonymous

started off as an internet-based novel and got published. It's reasonably funny, but the writing's pretty basic

i enjoyed it, it's an elaborate farce but pretty entertaining. You'll probably find it hard going at the start to get into it, and the charachters aren't particularly sympathetic.

"Age of the Guerilla" Francois Sully

Have jus finished 'The Real Life of Sebastian Knight' by Nabakov - quality stuff.

The Godfather... entertaining read, sticks close to the film, which is good

i prefer the book, however the film is probably the best adaptation of a book i've seen

i've read some other puzo but it wasn't in the same league.

Definately

"an utterly impartial history of britain" aka. "2000 years of upper class idiots in charge" by John O' Farrell

very educational, and also hilarious

'Freakonomics' by Steven D. Levitt & Stephen J. Dubner
pretty interesting and sometimes hilarious read.. I an strongly recommend it.

'Blink' by Malcolm Gladwell
quite fascinating.. about snap jugments and the subconcious etc.

I can definitely recommend both books..

Tad Williams- The War of The Flowers, although its so sporadic that I dont think it really qualifies as reading it.

Journey to Ixtlan: The Lessons of Don Juan / Carlos Castaneda
