..so.. Read any good books lately?

Postby flyboy 28 » Sun Mar 05, 2006 4:20 pm

Well? :)

I just finished "With Hostile Intent" by Robert Gandt. Good novel about Super Hornet drivers and there's a bunch of characters and plot twists. And I just started Clear and Present Danger by Tom Clancy.

Well, not really a book, but I just finished reading the script on the first episode of Stargate Destiny. Took me two days to read a script on an episode that lasts for about 45 minutes [commercials not included]. ::)

One of these days, I hope to finish reading "The Giver" and "1984".

I'm in kind of a reading slump at the moment. Can't keep my mind on a story long enough to get interested in a book right now. But I tryed to start reading the new one from Michael Crichton entitled State of Fear. It seemed really good, but like I said, I can't really read right now.

Currently reading for english class.  Night...by Elie Wiesel.

Not to far in due to keeping with the class, but interesting ;)

Favorites though were the Left Behind series.  Not a religious person really, but is definatly one of the best series I've ever read.  I liked how the story just kept moving and each book picked up right where the other left off :)
