dale77 Posted June 5 Report Share Posted June 5 I'm soooooooooo bored! I need a good book to read. I just read Girl, Interrupted for the 5th time and now I need something else good to read.No sci fi, and I'm not really in a mystery or horror kind of mood, and no **cheesy** love stories please! So what out there is good?------------------You're only young once Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stacychase Posted June 5 Report Share Posted June 5 Just read, The Texas Seven. It is about the 7 men who broke out of prison last year and lived on the run for about 6 weeks. Very interesting! I completed the book in one day, come to think of it, I think I finished in one sitting. It amazed me how one man master minded this plan and it worked. All 7 men had high IQ's and could have done almost anything if they had gone the right way instead of the wrong!!! Makes you think!------------------Life can only be understood backward, but it must be lived forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjp22 Posted June 5 Report Share Posted June 5 Last week I read "Disco Bloodbath" by James St James about Michael Alig and the murder etc. I thought it was excellent and I am currently reading "False Memory" by Dean Koontz and I am really enjoying it. I have a fairly nice collection of books by King and Koontz if anyone needs to borrow 1 let me know.mjp22@aol.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deeprock Posted June 5 Report Share Posted June 5 If you are looking for nonfiction, try the recently released book entitled "War Letters". The book is a collection of 150 letters written by soldiers to their loved ones in times of war. The letters span from the Civil War to the Bosnian War. Sometimes these were the last words written by these persons before they lost their lives in battle. The descriptions can be pretty brutal at times, but the stories are all painfully real and painfully moving.[This message has been edited by deeprock (edited 06-05-2001).] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
