do any of you read books?
« on: May 09, 2005, 01:35:14 PM »
just curious if any of you like to read, and what you are currently reading or what was the last book you read.

i am currently reading Orders To Kill by William Pepper, its about the conspiracy behind the martin luther king assassination, and its pretty damn interesting so far.  it wasnt james earl ray who killed the king, it was green berets working for the united states governement or something, this book is all backed up by facts, i am currently only an eighth the way through but its pretty interesting.

the last book i read was the autobiography of malcolm x....another great book, reading about icons, and other true novels are so much better than fiction books, although i read and enjoyed all lord of the rings and some harry potter lol, but true books are better because it is spreading knowledge. 

the next book im reading is called Cocaine Politics, and is about the governements involvement in the coke trade in the 1980's seems interesting, cant wait to finish the King book and start this...

please post any thoughts or opinions if you have read these books, or anything else....im just interested.

I just read "The Alchemist" by Paul Coelho. Kind of a kids book but it's got some good life lessons in it.

I really wanna get that book.

last book I read was the one put out by the original winner of The Apprentice.  I was a really good book, good stuff in there.  I don't read much tho, just don't have time.

Last book I read was on holiday.  "Cocky", about Britians biggest Drug Dealer Curtis Warren.  The book I am reading now is called "Powder Wars" and its about all Britians drug gangs and shit.  Interesting.

Last book: How to be good by Nick Hornby
Cause I don't care where I belong no more
What we share or not I will ignore
And I won't waste my time fitting in
Cause I don't think contrast is a sin
No, it's not a sin
