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.

Just read the blurb on amazon about Feather Men. Sound quite interesting. It looks like our library has it here. So might have to check it out.

Would this be the Rougue Warrior you were talking about? http://www.amazon.com/Rogue-Warrior-.../dp/0671795937
Thanks

Yep that's the guy. He's no pussy. It's a good sorta read but he may have tarted it up a bit. Still entertaining either way.

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.

Similar book ''Cold Zero'' . about an ex FBI Sniper who was at Waco & Ruby Ridge-- great book

Another book or two books to be precise I have read sometime back

Silcon Snake Oil or Thoughts on the information Highway and The Cuckoo's Egg. both ar eby Clifford Stoll

The Cuckoo's Egg is the tracking down on a Cyber criminal. He had hacked into a banks data base and placed a program that deposited one cent for each transaction of the bank's into an off shore account. The Cuckoo's Egg is a detailed account of how they cought the guy. Silicon Snake Oil if I remember correctly deals mainly with legal and ethical problems of the internet.

Im finding the telephone book a hard read as it doesnt have much of a plot.

[chrisso]

I like books from Denmark with lots of piccies. Storylines get a bit repetitive
but theres always a happy ending...

The last book I read was:

The Four Agreements By Don Miguel & Don Jose Luis Ruiz

Breif of the book:

Everything we do is based on agreements we have made - agreements with ourselves, with other people, with God, with life. But the most important agreements are the ones we make with ourselves. In these agreements we tell ourselves who we are, how to behave, what is possible, what is impossible. One single agreement is not such a problem, but we have many agreements that come from fear, deplete our energy, and diminish our self-worth."

1. Be Impeccable With Your Word
Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.

2. Don't Take Anything Personally
Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won't be the victim of needless suffering.

3. Don't Make Assumptions
Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.

4. Always Do Your Best
Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse and regret.

*This book comes from the teachings of the Toltecs.


I am interested in books about the Universe/Energy Medicine/Self Empowerment/Holistic Wellbeing .. well you kind of get my drift eh lol .. I also like reading material regarding Atlantis/Lemuria/Pre & Post Civilizations/Egyptology/Indigenous/Anthropology & Archeology which seems the basis for the material I read anyway.

I am very interested in the connections between orthodox studies & research in conjunction with cultural knowledge passed down through generations of Indigenous Peoples regarding Star People/The Universe/Earth ..... also a fundamental cornerstone in this activity is understanding my own connection into the Universe so a fair amount of guidence to particular books of 'assistance' has been most helpful! ..

Unfortunately .. as I am working my ass off profusely trying to earn a buck I don't get as much time for reading as I would like .. but The Four Agreements was the very last book I read ... ohh ohh .. now .. if ANYONE knows where I can get my hands on a book regarding THE BOOK OF THE DEAD ... in reference to Egyptology .. please let me know .. thankyou!

Finally gotten around to starting Snow Crash.

I've left it so long it feels a bit creaky, but then I really LOATHE Neal Stephenson's writing.

It's actually good!

MARCH TO THE SOUND OF THE GUNS

BUY IT. BUY IT. BUY IT.

It's in all the stores, often with it's own little section or area of a stand.

Legendary Motorcycles by Basem Wasef.
A great coffee table book covering all sorts of famous motorcycles and bike riders including Steve McQueen,Elvis,Rollie Free etc.Two bikes from NZ are the Britten and of course the Munro Special.Full of great photos and I'm peeved that my scanner is not working as I have to take it back to the library(the book not the scanner!)
Well worth a look if your local library stocks it.

so you wont be getting the Baroque Cycle or Cryptonomicon any time soon?

I LOVE Snow Crash. and stuff like the burbclaves and franchulates and all that.

I particularly liked Hiro Protagonist and Praisegod Satansbane as character names (wait: maybe Praisegod is in a Gibson book.....) aaargh.

I have Japanese Motorcycle Wars on the water from Amazon as we speak.

[Skyryder]

I have not noticed the Thomas Covenant Chronicles being posted . I've read the first two and gave up about middle of the third. Anyone finished the series?

I tried to read Cryptonincompoopcom a few years back and gave up exasperated that that something that poorly written and constructed could get such rave reviews.

Hiro Protagonist is rather a clever construction. I like the Sovereign concept myself. The Raven dude is a bit scary. A one man Sovereign state, purely because he has a Harley whose sidecar happens to be a thermonuclear weapon. I want one.
