Just finished "The Places In Between" about a scottish guy who WALKED across Afghanistan after 9/11. Great book.

I finished Misery a while back and thoroughly enjoyed it - as sick and twisted as it was. I'm still hoping to catch the movie either on TV or as a rental.

I meant to start Salem's Lot - did, in fact - until I was assigned a book for English class. We were actually allowed to choose from a given set, but I'm joining a "literary criticism" club which requires that we read Tess of the d'Urbervilles, so I went with that one to kill two birds with one stone. It's one of those "sappy" romance stories, and I had very little hope from the start - consider going to this from Stephen King. However, in keeping up with the reading schedule, I've made it halfway through...and I love it. I'll admit it, now...apparently I like that kind of stuff. It's just sooooo romantic.

I don't know if anyone's heard of it, but if so, please don't mention how it turns out, because I've still got a ways to go...but I'd love to chat about the book itself, if you know of it.

Oh, You want to know what happens to Tess?? Just kidding, Gina. I did read it, but so very long ago.

Misery was so good, but I can't read it now without picturing Kathy Bates. Man, was she great in that movie. Scary, scary great. I recommend seeing it for her performance alone.

I just finished reading What Remains by Carol Radziwill (not sure about that spelling). Very well done, and heartbreaking. It's the true story of a girl who grew up in suburban NY (about 10 minutes from where I live) and ends up married to Jackie O's nephew. Her husband and John, Jr. were first cousins and best friends, and the two couples spent an enormous amount of time together. Her husband gets cancer, and while he was dying at John's house, John and Carolyn's plane crashes.

What I found interesting was that these people had all the money and conncections in the world, yet they were treated just as crappily by their doctors as everyone else!! She did write it beautifully and it was fascinating to see this "commoner" become a princess.

I just started Blood Meridian: Or The Evening Redness in the West

Currently reading these books great read so far!

I want to read this book!!! Who's the author, SB?

DE NIRO, can you recommend any good Beatles books perhaps written by one of the band members or someone very intimate with the band during their years together?



A very enjoyable read from my second favorite wrestler of all-time (Bret Hart is my #1). An in depth look at the Heartbreak Kid that was very informative at times (i.e. The Montreal Screw job). What surprised me about this book is Shawn seemed to paint Vince as such a great guy backstage and Bret as such a villain. However, there are 2 sides to every story and I eagerly anticipate reading Bret Hart's book(s) if and when they are ever made avaiable to the general public.

I FINALLY have the time to sit down and read the Sin City graphic novel series. Book 1 is Marv's story and a GREAT way to open the series. The movie is dead on and only minor additions are in the book (nothing of major significance).

Yeah sure i've got some great examples,ill post some later on today

Ok where to start,There millions of Beatles books around the world thats been written by strangles with no connection to the Fab Four what so-ever.

Of all the beatles book ive read and ive read dozens,the list below are the most reliable sources around,written by press people and close friends.

The Beatles Anthology 1996



There life story in there own words and quotes by John,very good book,packed with great photos.

The Beatles.The Bestselling Authorized Biography-Hunter Davies 1968



Nearly 40 years after it First Publication,and despite the millions of words published on the beatles since then,Hunter davies's intimate book is still the only authorized biograpghy of the worlds most succesful band ever.

Lennon-The Definitive Biography-Ray Coleman



Ray Coleman,who travelled with the beatles and interviewed Lennon Many times,draws on conversations with his friends and musicains and his family,from Aunt Mimi who raised him in Liverpool to his widow Yoko.

A Most Honest book-This is the book to read for any Lennon fan.

Paul McCartney-Many Years from now-Barry Miles 1997



The Only Avaliable biography for McCartney.

I me Mine-George Harrison



Out of the four beatles George is the only one to write an Autobiography..

These are the books you should read Irishman12 first,if you are interested in the other sides of there story,not just the music..

Let us know how you get on.Hope these help

Cool, thanks DE NIRO

No worries let us know what you are reading..What the best book for you on the beatles?

Don't have any and haven't read any (that's why I was asking)

You Should get a move on then.

I've got too much to read as it is and I won't have ANY time during the Spring semester for school

Not too bad of a story that includes characters from the first film such as Marv, Dwight, Gail and Miho among others. I hope they are able to get Angelina Jolie on board as Ava Lord as I think she'd do a GREAT job

Upon reading this book I thought Benicio Del Toro was a perfect Jackie-Boy (and most others were cast perfectly too). Book 4 is from the movie too and then the last 3 books should be new material.

Definitely my favorite book of the series thus far. The most interesting story so far and I love his use of color in this book. Bruce Willis was also a perfect Hartigan IMO.

The shortest and my least favorite book of the series thus far. I'm not saying it's a bad story (which it's not, it still has it's funny moments and great artwork) but compared to say book 4, That Yellow Bastard, it fails in comparison. It's a pretty straight forward revenge story without a lot of surprises and thus I felt it was kind of lackluster.

How many books are there,what genre are the book classed as.Not read the books or seen the film?

There's 7 book in the series and I would HIGHLY recommend watching the film.

Book 6 is 11 short stories bound together. One of the stories, "The Customer Is Always Right" was in the first Sin City film (Josh Hartnett & Marley Shelton). If I had to pick, I'd like to see either "Blue Eyes," "Daddy's Little Girl," or "The Babe Wore Red" in Sin City 2.

An enjoyable way to end the Sin City series. Rumor is is that Sin City 3 will be based off of this book and I'm picturing Jared Leto as Wallace and even a part for Uma Thurman as the women in orange/red.

I also received this today as an early Christmas present

I was rather disappointed in this as many have said this is one of, if not the best Batman story ever. I didn't like it that much. The Superman vs Batman fight towards the end interest me but other than that I was rather bored with the book. I didn't like the "mutants" gang that was in the book (I hated the way they talked and just thought they were stupid). Secondly, the book jumped around too much. For example, you'd read about Batman for half a page and then jump to Robin, then Commissioner Gordon, then Superman, then the mutants, etc. Finally, I just didn't like all of the "news" interaction (which kind of branches off from my second point, jumping around too much). If you want a great Batman story to read and my personal favorite, stick with The Long Halloween by Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale.

A fantastic story about 300 Spartans who refuse to surrender their land and lives to the Persian army. Rather than be slaves for the rest of their days, they take a stand against one of the greatest army's assembled the world has ever seen. Not really that long of a book and I'm interested to see how they'll make it into a film, but I absolutely cannot wait now until March 9 when it comes out.

A FANTASTIC book that was very insightful and educational. What more could I ask for? Quite possibly my favorite movie villain in movie history, Mr. David Carradine, keeping a personal journal while shooting my favorite movie in recent years (and one of my favorite's of all-time!). The man is a poet and incredibly humble, passing all of the credit onto fellow castmates Uma Thurman, Michael Madsen and director Quentin Tarantino. If you liked the Kill Bill films, then READ this book!

Have you managed to check any of the beatles books yet?

Not yet. I won't be able to read another book until May at the earliest due to school and work However, the next one I plan on reading is the Alan Moore V for Vendetta comic book series.

Cool.Looks like you've read plenty just latley.

I had to stock up because I hadn't read a book since mid-July I believe and I knew I wouldn't be able to read again until this coming May at the earilest so I took advantage of the time I had.
