I still consider that one of the most boring books I have ever read

At least it looks like you know what you're letting yourself in for...strange how people try to make hell look like fun, and heaven look dull. The One that created everything won't have a dull heaven - it's just the other way round. Satan is the best con artist alive - he doesn't want to burn alone...
I only read books on facts, truth and science.
Kiwi back at home!
Atlas Shrugged - Ayn Rand
Just finished that, well actually read the latest Reacher and a Clancey since, but close enough.
Funny thing is some of the themes covered in the book as still very relevant now even though it was written a while back.
Who is John Galt?

Gold of Exodus - by Howard Blum!!!!!!!!
The Gold of Exodus is definately worth a read - or a watch if you get the DVD (available from Amazon). An absolutely gripping and true story of 2 Americans on a hunt for the lost gold that the Israelites took from Mitsraim(Egypt) when they started the Exodus into the wilderness. It is not only a riveting true story, but it clears up a multitide of errors and blunders from history.
It gives one a good look into the mysterious world of the FBI, CIA and other secret services when the 2 Americans, unaware that their every step is being closely watched, forge their way into Saudi Arabia to get the gold.....
Revolution is in the air
Yeah, who is John Galt? Excellent book, as are all of her works.
Just read "The Art of the Warrior" and "A Short History of Nearly Everything" by Bill Bryson, as well as "The Art of Happiness" By the Dalai Lama.
Read "London" by Edward Rutherford a little while ago. Another good read as well.

Horror, gruesome, and graphicial scenes is what I enjoy reading...
Currently reading 2 books by Graham Masterton
Started reading Darkroom, but puppy though she would read it and eat the novel it was that good lol...so will have to ask the library if they have puppy insurance, as dogs actually eat homework and books!!!
So now Im reading "Touchey and Feeley" who are the two main characters and the other is "Descendant"
Next week it will be "accounting papers" study starts again....aaarrrgghhh!!!
My bass is such a slapper.......I cant stop fingering those strings

I'm a primary school teacher but I try to leave the "teacher" voice at school, unless specifically requested by my wife.My wife does enough reading for both of us. She is a Childrens librarian and is always reading books...mainly young adult fiction. The scary thing is that she uses her "storytime" voice at times when we are doing interesting things in the bedroom (and I am not talking about reading)
Anyway, guess ya could say she is a stereotypical librarian...eg glasses, sometimes has her hair tied up etc...seems sweet, but has a wild streak too
I dont read much myself, but when I do its usually sci fi/fantasy...

WOLF OF THE PLAINS was the last decent read. Conn Igguldon.
Summut like that was the name of the author. Life of Gengis Khan
Been meaning to read the sequal.
At the moment I wading thru DUBLIN by
Edward Rutherford. He wrote LONDON and RUSSKA both are lengthy books. Have not read SARUM: anyone?
On the lighter side DAMAGE CONTROL by Gordon Kent. Lots of high tech weaponry set in the Indian ocean about an military excersise that gets hi-jacked.
Good read for the Rambo types. Another one is IMMEDIATE ACTION by Andy McNab.
Short bio of the author and his time in the SAS.

I got this off a site -absolutely the limit of all reading! I cannot get enough of this stuff... Following is some of the reader comments:
Thanks for having the boldness to author the report;
we need to know that someone has been lying to us.
It needs to stop!
Jill Masters, Newcastle
This is the best book of its kind I have ever read.
You cannot put it down; it keeps intruding into
your thoughts.
Ron Davies, London
I’ve just read the report through for the FIFTH Time. WOW!
Pat Brannigan, Los Angeles
This is one of the most fascinating, thought-provoking
mind-blowing books ever. The research is over-whelming.
You kept me in suspense from chapter to chapter.

Andy McN(that part of the name is correct...).

If you like Andy McNabs books have a look at Chris Ryan's books. He was in the SAS under Andy from what I understand.

Click the link and read the first review.
I have read some others of this type. Rougue Warrior was a good yarn. Can't recall who wrote it but he was a Navy Seal. Another one unfortunately I don't recall the title or who wrote the book but it was an MI5 officer in Ireland and dealt with covert assasanations.
