Ron, please create a board titles "Getbig Book Club" I'll mod it.

Right now I'm reading "Jews, God, and History".  What an interesting book!

I think we could all learn a lot (while having a good time) with a getbig book club!

I'm wondering if a sizable donation to the "Avidan Foundation for Distended Abdominal Research" would get the ball rolling?

Finishing up The Private Life of Chairman Mao, written by his doctor.

Also, finishing up Infidel by Ayan Hirsi Ali. I have the bad habbit of starting a book before I finish another.

Anybody read any good non fiction lately? It's all I can really get into anymore.

At least we can have a book thread.

A friend's child, basically my Godchild, just graduated and I got her "Oh the places you'll go!". :)

Seuss is a little too advanced for me at the moment. Maybe in a few years. :P

It's a deep, moving book that will cause soreness from your horizons having been expanded so much. :)

You should try "Point of Impact" by Stephen Hunter.blows away the movie with Mark Walberg....once you read it you'll end up reading the whole series about Bob Lee Swagger 8)

Oh great, the guido is recommending books now. I didn't know "The Cat in the Hat" and "One Fish, Two Fish" were considered difficult reading.



















I'll have to check out "Point of Impact".  :D

Seriously, I'll join in...

Jane Austen, obviously.  I'm an expert.  That thread would be perhaps on our girly board.  Stella?  Austen only wrote 6 books and died early.  Easy peasy.

But if you'd like to do some non-fiction I'll put my glasses on.  I have DIY and cooking books.  I'm joking... I have How to Dance, The Amateur Astronomer and Games to Play By Yourself.  Just for reference...  Two shelves of travel books, 3 of poetry, 2 of religion.  Sorry, but you need to review non-fiction, read it over and over.  You can't debate factual books, can you?

Book Clubs are for fiction, no?  Novel readers?


Just finished "How to be Idle" by Tom Hodgkinson, lovely little book full of quotations from Byron Blake et al on the importance of sleep, dreams, drinking, slow sex, yawning, lazy conversation etc.  Highly recommended.

Also in the middle of a huge paperback novel:  "Miss Smilla's Feeling for Snow", Peter Hoeg, translated from Danish 1992.  Big fat lovely and truly amazingly descriptive.  I find myself in awe when reading a book translated to English, reading something done in another language is incredible.  Loved Anna Kareina for instance.  Russians, Northerners and so on are so emotional.


I tend to keep non fiction (reference) books in hardcover


and I always give away fiction/paperbacks.
