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.
I have Jackie Stewarts autobiography on the way, cannot wait to read it. Havent read anything particularly stimulating in about 6 months, just the same old drivel.
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.
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.
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)
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
im on the 5th of 7 books in Steven Kings Dark Tower series and im really enjoying it. I read king when i was younger, so it was interesting to get back into it after text books on neurotoxicity and synaptogenesis
