Reading (Not the festival).

Read Confucius' first 10 books on the coach to reading. Was truly enlightening. How pretentious do I look though =(

Yeah, you should be on the tube  :lol:

I'm reading The Hitchhickers Guide to the Gallaxy at the minute, but I keep hearing the voices and seeing the people from the telly series in my head when I read it and it's kind of taking the fun out a bit.  Got Going Postal by Terry Pratchett next.

Generally though, I don't really read anything with a story.  Normally a physics book or a Haynes manual or something.  Trying to expand my horizons a bit.

Just finished reading The Dirt. Although I'm not a fan of Motely Crue and not really familiar with any of their stuff it really is an entertaining book. Plenty of laugh out loud moments but also a few really, really sad and touching parts.

I'm now on to reading 'Hiding the Elephant - How Magicians Invented the Impossible' by Jim Steinmeyer. It's not too bad, a bit heavy going but interesting if you like that sort of stuff.

I havnt read anything (non work related) for the last 7 months as I'm all read out after 3 to  4 books per week while I was stranded in London foe 3.5 years

The last ones I read where
My bass and other animals, Guy Pratt
The Derren Brown book (forget it's title)
& the scariest book ever
The History of Mind Control (forget the author)

There's a lot I want to read but I needed a rest for a while

My bass and other animals, Guy Pratt

One of the very few rock autobiographies I've actually enjoyed reading.  :)

The Derren Brown book (forget it's title)
& the scariest book ever

It's on my list too...... although I can't remeber the name of it either.

Heh I actually meant that the following book was the scacriest book ever, compared with what doctors have done Mr Brown is an absolute saint (though his pre showbiz background is facinating)

I don't read as much as i used to but i am currently reading a great book about the life of 'The Ice Man' aka Richard Kuklinski. He was a Mafia contract killer and was one of the most deadly assassins the world has ever seen.

Currently reading a pretty good thriller called The English Assassin by Daniel Silva, not bad for a freebe.
I read thrillers a lot but do like biographys. Richard Cole's Stairway To Heaven was a good read. He was the road manager. Must get a few Keith Moon books for my holiday in a few weeks.
I'll give any book a go. Read Luke Rhinehart's The Dice Man that was mental. London Fields by Martin Amis, very funny!
Dirty Havana trilogy by Pedro Juan Gutierrez is just the epitome of promiscuity, filth but funny too. George Orwells' down and out in Paris and London is a real eyeopener! Also lots of guitar books about song writing, theory, technique.
Texts books on Engineering, the physics of loud speaker design, thats a cracking read!! Or photographers print books but thats not reading but stunning to thumb through all the same.

At least no-one has fessed up to reading wiring diagrams to 1960s Marshall amps.....

Yet!! :lol:

Johnny is good in mentioning Goerge Orwell. Not just the obvious 1984 and Animal farm( though great reads) there are some great essays and novels. Catch 22 of course is a must read.
