Read any good books lately? Got a favorite author? Discuss! I recently read Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, and I can definitely say that hunter s. thompson is crazy! But he is my favourite author. Gonna pick up the gonzo papers tomorrow!  |

I have begun Ghostmakers yesterday...
recently I have read a book called "les bienveillantes" by Jonathan Littel, it is about a SS officer speaking about what he saw and did during WWII, quite interesting and sometimes gore...

I read lots, on the way to and from work, but I travel a fair bit and need good books when flying.
Fav.s atm.
Lee Child. wasn't sure about his charater Jack Reacher at first, but they are pretty good.
Vince Flynn. Excellent CIA/terrorist books, I'm sure this is 1 source of inspiration for Jack Bauer.
Classics
Tolkien
Terry Pratchett, love the city gaurds ones.
Robert Rankin, generally just very weird, but funny.

Great Commissar!!It is a very well documented book indeed. Have you seen "Ennemy at the Gate" by Jean Jacques Anaud? It follows well the battle and you can connect the book and film.
Well at the moment, I 've began Double eagle and then I will read Blind along with Tactica Imperialis....
Yeah, I love reading and that makes me improve my English!!
