Recently I've enjoyed reading:
"Hell's Angels" by Hunter S. Thompson because it gives a good inside look at why the group developed the reputation they did. Plus I love his style of writing. He has a way of turning an otherwise ordinary situation into something worth reading about.
"Still Life With Woodpecker" by Tom Robbins because my husband is a redhead, and it was easy for me to relate with the quirks of the two main characters in the book. Simple and quick reading. Plus it made me laugh several times. That's always a plus for me.
"Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley. I recently read that for about the 4th time, and each time I read it I can relate it more and more to the world we live in now. I do the same with 1984. I'll never get tired of those 2 books.
"Master of the Game" by Sidney Sheldon. A really good fiction book about determination and revenge, and how sometimes the best way to get revenge is to sit back and watch the person self-destruct without having to lay a finger on him.
"Swan Song" by Robert McCammon. I'm not really sure how to classify this book, but it's really long (my copy is nearly 1,000 pages). It's about WWIII and the evil that follows. Sort of in the supernatural thriller genre I guess, so obviously not everybody's type of book, but I'm enjoying it now for the 2nd time.
"Go Ask Alice" by I'm not sure who. It's a book I recently enjoyed reading, but I'm not sure I can say it's good. The reason I enjoyed reading it is because I was made to read it in high school, and it's supposedly a true journal of a high-school age girl who gets sucked into the whole drug scene. But I read it again last month, this time from a purely fictional viewpoint, and at times it seemed like it really could be somebody's journal (written back in a generation where the dangers of drugs were still fairly unknown), and other times it seemed like it was made up by somebody who's never even toked a joint before, simply for the purpose of scaring teenagers out of ever trying drugs. I found it interesting because I couldn't really tell.
Well that's it for now. I've been on a big reading kick lately because I've neglected my books for so long. So I'm going back and re-reading all those that I haven't read for several years.See what's new at
