 Re: Books and reading
 
 Recently finished up King of Lies by John Hart. I couldn't put it down since there was almost always something exciting coming up. Soon starting on Swan Song by Robert McCammon.Washington State University Cougars

 Re: Books and reading
 
 Love me some Baldacci. Pretty good, as you said, quick reads.I just got done reading David Baldacci's "Divine Justice"...the latest in a series, it's a action/drama/politics type book set in DC, but more about the characters and less political boring. Quick read and had me hooked from the start.
 
 Not sure what's next, gotta hit up the library. University of Oregon University of Oregon

 Re: Books and reading
 
 Is there a certain translation you'd recommend? I'm a bit off from reading the Russian version and there's no Penguin Classics (my go to) version available. There's only one version on Amazon and was just checking before I purchase.Comment

 Re: Books and reading
 
 Yeah I read through what was all of them at the time at least, something like 9 or 10. I should probably re-read them though since I didn't really understand everything at the time since I was pretty young. I remember Martin The Warrior being my favorite one, I think I read it two or three times.
 
 I enjoyed Fahrenheit 451 and A Clockwork Orange more than those books though.Fan of....

 Richard Dawkins - The God Delusion
 
 Just started and it's the most powerful book I've ever read. I will finish this in 2-3 days. I think everybody should read this, regardless of their religious background.Comment

 Re: Books and reading
 
 Theyre pretty good, on the surface it may seem like theyre made for kids, but the stories (in the ones I've read) are pretty involved and make for an enjoyable read. I would recommend you start with "Redwall" though, and then move on to "Mossflower", after that it really doesnt matter.Teams I Live and Die with:

 Re: Books and reading
 
 "The Angel From Vietnam, Growing up, the Vietnam War, a Daughter, and Healing".
 
 Winner of the Military Writers Society Award for writing, 2005.
 
 I spent four years in Vietnam from the age of 19 to a few months shy of my 24th birthday. I had a family and daughter that I tried to get out of country, but failed. Book goes full circle from tragedy in my early years to finding peace and healing in my latter years.
 
 Not a war book at all. Filled with humor and also sadness.
 
 Reviews are on Amazon/Barnes and Noble web sites.Comment

 Have any of you read 1984? I remember reading Animal Farm when I was in school and liked it so I thought I might pick it up and give it a go.Fan of....
