> [@Mrs. Karus](#): > > Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert 🙂 my girlfriend’s reading that right now. I’m currently reading ‘Eclipse’ by Stefanie Meyer. It’s not my kind of book, but it’s not bad. I’ve recently finished ‘Jurassic Park’ which will always be a classic, and ‘Andromeda Strain’ by Michael Crighton. If you’re into non-fiction, check out Sex, Drugs and Cocoa Puffs. It’s hilarious, and anyone who grew up in the 80’s-90’s will appreciate it. ---

> [@Pass McGrass](#): > > If you’re into non-fiction, check out Sex, Drugs and Cocoa Puffs. It’s hilarious, and anyone who grew up in the 80’s-90’s will appreciate it. The Klosterman book that i am reading _IV_ is only so-so. It’s essentially a collection of all his works from _Spin_. Reading about celebrities is very low on my list of interests, but i love his writing style. However, the last 30 pages of the book contain a fictional short story that is AMAZING. Seriously. > [@ecoshardcore](#): > > GREATEST BOOK EVER! I read the book about 3 times a year. It is my absolute favorite. This was actually my first time reading it. It’s fucking awesome. I just finished it the other day, and practically want to start right over again. My GF read it 18 times. ---

I’m currently in between books, but some of the recent ones I’ve read which were all very good: Fiction: Next - Michael Crichton Wild Fire - Nelson Demille A State of Fear - Michael Crichton Night Fall - Nelson Demille Non-Fiction: A Brief History of Everything - Ken Wilber If I find a book I like I’ll usually read it in two or three days, then take a break for a few weeks. ---

BIG Michael Crichton fan **For the Business people/students you NEED to read:** No Nonsense Leadership by Dave Anderson 21 Indispensable Qualities of a Leader by John Maxwell These books are great, Maxwell and Anderson can be very similar but great non the less. There is alot in there that can pertain to your everyday life as well ---

I read half of steven colbert’s book in one sitting. its not content heavy, and to be honest the humor gets old fast. I don’t really have a desire to finish the book. last week I read Autobiography of an Idea by Louis Sullivan (architect of the guaranty/prudential building downtown among other things) ![http://www.bc.edu/bc_org/avp/cas/fnart/fa267/sullivan/guaranty.jpg](http://www.bc.edu/bc_org/avp/cas/fnart/fa267/sullivan/guaranty.jpg) it was good, focused more on his upbringing and only had 70 or so pages on his education at the beaux-arts and his work as an architect now I’m torn what to read next. i have a collection of manifestos from prominent 19th and 20th century architects, or I’m trying to get In Cold Blood from a friend of mine ---
