  • stacks of books piled by your bedside

    Hawai'i A Sense of Place (ooooh to have Ms Malia Pili-potts pimp Pua'i's pad!) The books is like "I Spy" for adults.

    The Fourth Crusade: The Sack of Constantinople. Because I need to know this. And because it is quite an interesting read (one of these days, I am gonna take me a Roman/Greek/Turkish cruise). The histories of those Greek city/states have always fascinated me. Even if I could never pronounce their names.

    The Surrendered Wife. Because I got it on ebay for $6 (inc s/h) and because I had to see for myself what the f*** this broad was THINKING when she wrote this book!

    full reviews to come later.

    whatcha reading?

      I did just that as a weddingmoon this past summer. It was great. I must get back to Turkey again and spend more time though. A cruise gives you very small doses of the places you call upon.

      I just finished with "Hawaii's Story by Hawaii's Queen" by Liliuokalani.

        "A Pirate Looks At Fifty" By Jimmy Buffet

        The book is a travelogue with flashbacks - and not the kind you might fear. Insightful and entertaining, this detailed instruction on how to live a rewarding life might well be deemed the ultimate self-help manual. Review: Book Page

        I'll be 44 on Feb. 13th, so figure since I'm getting closer to being a pirate looking at fifty myself, that this would be good reading!

          well, to do what I'd really would like to do would involve moving to the region for 3-5 years. But I would settle for a cruise.

                  Are you reading them now, because you saw the movies and enjoyed them?
                  Or are you waiting to see the films until after you read the books?
                  Or have you already read them, and are returning to 'em?

                    Monster-The Autobiography of an L.A. gang member by Sanyika Shakur, aka Monster Kody Scott.

                    Interesting but not a great read imo.

                      I kinda deal with "The Lord of the Rings" like they do the Golden Gate Bridge. The maintenance crew starts at one end painting, then when they get all the way across, take a quick breather and start again.

                        Which reminds me...you mentioned back in October (in a different thread) that you wanted to remember to re-read "Watership Down" again - here's another reminder.

                          Oh, nice. I re-read them at least every other year. Same with "Alice in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking Glass."

                              Oh yeah! Thanks I wrote it down just now and will soon. That was cool my friend.
