I just read "Run Baby Run" not so long ago, it's a good book. I don't really read books that much though. I'm gonna be buyin' "The Club Dumas" book soon since i liked "The Ninth Gate" movie so much. And i'm buyin' Ronin Ro's "Dr. Dre: The Biography" and "Have Gun Will Travel" too.

not really read much in the last month or so, but in the last 6 months i've read The Godfather (twice), The Beach (again), and The Da Vinci Code (not even seen the film).

Godfather is a classic. I must read The Beach, i haven't even been aware of it's existance and i loved the movie. as for Da Vinci Code, i don't know if i wanna read that, i'm not into all that religious bullshit, and the book seems girly (my ex and her girlfriends were praising that fucking book ;)). how is it?

lol Dub provides enough drama, violence, and comedy 2 fill a 1000 page novel. Why read a book that will end when I have several Trilogies going on here already.

i wouldn't call it 'girly'. not in the slightest. they will have only read it due to the hype that surrounded it.

i found it a very fast, enjoyable book. some nights i couldn't put it down. i was reading it in the summer and on numerous nights found myself out in the yard reading, drinking and smoking (cigarettes) until the early hours of the morning.

i've just downloaded the movie, i'll watch it tonight.


The Beach is a great book, and a great movie. There are several differences between the two, if the movie had followed the book line for line it would have been much better.
